Electroweak Unification Theory?

Isn't this a power that was proposed and gradually perfected by scientists in the early 20th century? Upon hearing Deng Bangmin say this, all the scientists present showed thoughtful expressions. They were not ignorant; they had learned about the history of human science back in their school days.

"Yes, the Electroweak Unification Theory!"

At this moment, Deng Bangmin nodded and said, "We have discovered that the related technologies of the Electroweak Unification Theory have not been fully applied, and there is still room for further exploration!"

The emergence of the Electroweak Unification Theory was based on Fermi's discovery in 1934, when he established the theory of neutron Beta Decay, of the process by which a neutron transforms into a proton and a neutrino transforms into an electron.

Following this, Feynman, Gell-Mann, Malsa, Susanda Dunn, and several other scientists also proposed the 'V-A' theory, which modified Fermi's theory.

Subsequently, for a period of time, many scientists developed the Electroweak Unification Theory based on these theories.

The so-called Electroweak Unification Theory is not the weak current profession that people often hear about in daily life, but rather the process of unifying the Weak Interaction Force and the Electromagnetic Force.

This theory was declared broken by scientists in the 20th century.

Scientists have long discovered that the Weak Interaction Force and the Electromagnetic Force are actually the same force under certain conditions.

Back then, with the discovery of the Weak Interaction Force, scientists no longer focused on unifying Gravity and Electromagnetic Force in their pursuit of a grand unification. Instead, they took a different approach and first unified the Weak Interaction Force with Electromagnetic Force.

At that time, Yang extended the idea that electromagnetic interaction is determined by local gauge invariance to non-commutative local symmetry groups. This revealed that gauge invariance may be the common essence of electromagnetic interaction and other interactions, thus opening up a new way to unify various interactions using the gauge principle.

Thus, Yang-Mills Theory forms the basis of modern Gauge Field Theory.

In fact, all the scientists working on the Electroweak Unification Theory understand it and are very clear about its development process. However, when they heard Deng Bangmin say this, they did not know how it had anything to do with the alternative propulsion technology and this theory.

Like many scientists, Yue Yuan was unaware of the connection before Deng Bangmin revealed it.

Fortunately, Deng Bangmin did not keep everyone waiting. He then shared his insights with the Research Personnel and other researchers present.

Of course, he was the one who first came up with the idea, but the formation of a complete set of viewpoints was not done by him alone, but by his entire team. Therefore, when introducing himself, he most often used the word "we" rather than "I".

The symmetry breaking, Electromagnetic Force, Weak Interaction Force, electroweak consistency theory, and Higgs Field related knowledge involved in the Electroweak Unification Theory were all explained in detail by Deng Bangmin.

This knowledge is like a review of the history of human scientific development for scientists, which has left some of them deeply moved.

Scientists who have lived since Callisto, in particular, have a strong sense of the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life.

During Deng Bangmin's presentation, the attendees gradually understood the relationship between the Electroweak Unification Theory and propulsion technology. Of course, in the view of many scientists, these relationships are still just Deng Bangmin's or Yu Nanfeng's team's side of the story, since they have not been verified.

To truly convince them, we need to obtain real data from experiments.

Of course, we're only at the stage of raising the question, so there's no experimental data yet. But Yu Nanfeng's team is very confident, and they have to be confident.

After all, we've been working on this problem for so many years, and we need to give the scientists in the team a new goal to strive for, otherwise the team's morale will drop.

Deng Bangmin's argument now fits this point perfectly, so even if it's not known to be correct, Yu Nanfeng's team supports this argument.

In the following time, the scientists understood that Yu Nanfeng's team did not provide a specific method that could be implemented in their report. Instead, they presented a new way of thinking, or rather, a way of thinking that abandoned the idea of the 'Silver Mist Consciousness'.

This view holds that in addition to discovering new theories, Human Civilization can also seek answers from existing physical theories. Perhaps the theoretical support for technologies that drive technological leaps is hidden within those theories from the past, especially those theories that have not yet been fully implemented.

Of course, Yu Nanfeng's team didn't just bring everyone together for a meeting to listen to his nonsense without making any research progress.

In the final stages of the meeting, they put forward their own speculations and possible technological routes.

They believe that, based on the Electroweak Unification Theory, they can gain a deeper understanding of certain microstructures and thus incorporate them into displays.

Among various fields, they believe the most likely technological path to be realized is the physical mechanisms existing in an environment where Electromagnetic Force and Weak Interaction Force are still indistinguishable forces.

Based on this conjecture, Yu Nanfeng's team immediately applied to establish a relevant laboratory. In other words, they wanted to build an experimental base that could simulate an environment where the two forces had not yet broken the symmetry.

This is to study the physical mechanisms that humans did not know before in that environment.

Ironically, such laboratories, which were previously difficult to achieve, have become very easy to create after humans mastered true Nanotechnology.

Therefore, upon hearing this application, even though no official documents had been submitted yet, Yue Yuan, who was listening in the Conference Room, immediately agreed in his mind.

With propulsion technology currently stagnant, Yue Yuan would be overjoyed at any development idea, so why would he object?

This is one reason. Another reason is that Yue Yuan also understands physics and can be considered a knowledgeable leader.

Therefore, he knew what the Grand Unified Theory and the Theory of Everything were that these scientists were talking about.

The so-called Grand Unified Theory does not mean that the Four Fundamental Forces are unified in one equation, but rather that the Electromagnetic Force, the Weak Interaction Force, and the Strong Interaction Force are unified.

As for the power that unifies the Four Fundamental Forces, scientists call it the Super Unified Theory, or the Theory of Everything.

The Grand Unified Theory is the foundational theory for advancing to Interstellar Civilization. This was revealed intentionally or unintentionally by the Awakeners. Combined with what the Silver Mist Consciousness said back then, people believe it is true.

Therefore, from this perspective, the unification of low-voltage systems is the theoretical basis for achieving stronger technological advancements, and it is not impossible. After all, progress should be gradual, and scientific development is also relevant, which is reasonable.

Of course, it is also possible that it is a unified theory of the Strong Interaction Force and the Electromagnetic Force.

In any case, after this conference, scientists of Human Civilization once again embarked on the journey of leading Human Civilization forward.

Chapter 409 is under review and cannot be released, so this chapter was written a bit hastily...
