Field

Faraday's concept of fields is so powerful because all forces in nature can be expressed as fields. However, before we can understand the nature of these forces, one more element is needed: we must establish the equations that these fields obey.

The development of theoretical physics in the past can be simply summarized as the search for field equations of natural forces. The massive project of building New Particle Collider is also within this general framework, following the same methods and the previous path of theoretical physics development.

In the 1860s, physicist Maxwell wrote down the equations for Electric Field and magnetic fields. In the early 20th century, Einstein discovered the field equations for Gravity. After countless erroneous attempts, in the 1970s, through the work of Yang Zhenning and his student Mills, the field equations for Subatomic Force were finally established. These field equations that govern the interactions of Subatomic Particle are called Yang-Mills Field.

However, what puzzles scientists is why the Yang-Mills Field equations are so drastically different from Einstein's field equations. Many physicists have long attempted to solve this problem, but without success.

Perhaps their failure stemmed from falling into the trap of common sense; if limited to three dimensions, the field equations of Gravity in the subatomic world would be difficult to unify. Hyperspace, however, offers significant advantages. Theoretically, Yang-Mills Field, Maxwell Field, and Einstein fields can all be comfortably placed within hyperspace fields.

Scientists can theoretically calculate that these elements can be combined very reasonably in a hyperspace field, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. In addition, field theory has another advantage: it allows scientists to precisely calculate the energy required for space and time to form Wormhole. Therefore, scientists who currently insist that this space is hyperspace believe they might be able to verify whether it truly is hyperspace by exploring a unified Gravity Field, or perhaps they simply want to study the possibilities of a unified Gravity Field and other field equations here, because they fundamentally believe that this space is hyperspace.

Scientists who insist that space is Three-Dimensional Space scoff at this idea.

They felt that these scientists who insisted on hyperspace were too presumptuous and idealistic. If they had put them together and not understood them, they would have thought it was possible, but now, it was really impossible, because incorporating Gravity into the unification was not a sign of Level 4 Civilization, but the foundation of the Theory of Everything, also called the Theory of Everything or the hyper-unified theory.

How could humanity, with its current Low-level Civilization, possibly achieve that?

However, the scientists who insist that this space is hyperspace are unhappy with this claim. Although they know that it is a theoretical marker of a more advanced civilization, they refuse to admit that it is impossible, arguing that theory can be ahead of application and far ahead of application.

Isn't this how humanity has progressed since the Earth Era, proposing theories that were impossible to realize long ago?

With each side holding its own opinion, they were determined to explore according to their own ideas. However, the research team's experimental resources were insufficient to allow them to split in two, so they had no choice but to continue making requests to the human headquarters, which naturally did not refuse.

However, due to the distance, several decades had passed from application to approval, and then to the arrival of support materials, new Research Spaceship, and experimental spacecraft. If it weren't for their long lifespans, the people who went out to carry out these missions would probably have died of old age long ago.

This also shows that lifespan technology is indeed a supporting technology for interstellar travel; having it or not makes a huge difference.

Coincidentally, once disagreements arise, they are not easily resolved, especially in scientific research. The cognitive differences within the research expedition team resurfaced after the arrival of the new Research Ship and decades of research.

"Ridiculous! You bunch of guys who insist on hyperspace are just wasting time and resources." A disdainful voice could be heard from inside a Research Ship: "Let's not even talk about whether the fourth dimension can appear in the Macro World. Even if it can, those extra dimensions are beyond our reach. But we've been studying here for over a hundred years, and what have we seen?"

There has been absolutely no discovery of Four-Dimensional Space, no spatial curvature points, and no viewpoint from any fourth dimension. Isn't it said that through a hyperspace perspective one can see through a three-dimensional barrier to the interior of a closed three-dimensional space? But a century has passed, and what have you seen? In my opinion, we should just cancel all hyperspace exploration projects from now on; they're completely useless."

It sounded like an interrogation, but another voice was clearly unconvinced. "Hey, what spatial warp points? Those can only appear in broken hyperspace. Don't you guys think about who left this hyperspace? It was the Awakeners. He didn't leave this hyperspace for us to explore. How could he have left any warp points for us to enter the Four-Dimensional Space and see the fourth dimension's perspective?"

Besides, for beings like us who have never seen Four-Dimensional Space, wouldn't it be disastrous if we accidentally touched someone's internal organs in a four-dimensional environment? And speaking of us, after so much research, haven't you all discovered nothing?

"Heh, we didn't notice? Let's take a look at this first!"

Scientists who insisted on hyperspace thought the other party had made a real discovery, but when they connected to the data, they were surprised to find that it was actually a discussion about Four-Dimensional Space.

The scientist glanced at it briefly, then said, "So you've changed your tune? Weren't you all sticking to the Three-Dimensional Space theory? How come you're now researching Four-Dimensional Space?"

"Look down," another scientist simply suggested.

Something seems fishy! Hearing this answer, the scientists who insisted on hyperspace felt something was wrong. Indeed, after persisting for so long, how could they possibly change their minds on a few words? Unless they had truly discovered real evidence that this space was hyperspace, or the opposite was true.

So he continued reading, but the more he read, the more his brows furrowed.

"Nonsense. This is just a possibility, and you have no actual data to prove that your view is correct!"

He stopped himself from uttering the absurd statement that had just slipped out, because he had to admit that the paper on Four-Dimensional Space did have some merit. Based on the spirit of seeking truth from facts, he could only call it a possibility.

In general, the concept of Four-Dimensional Space discussed here is similar to the Four-Dimensional Space that people usually understand, both being the fourth pure geometric space dimension, but the specific details are quite different.
