Tachyon Hypothesis

"The explanation is as follows." Liu Miyan glanced at the manuscript and then answered the scientist who exclaimed in surprise. He said, "It's Supersymmetry. As everyone knows, physicists in the Earth Era liked to use Supersymmetry to describe the physics of Large Hadron Collider."

The astonishing predictions of Supersymmetry have been verified step by step, demonstrating its correctness in certain fields. As we know, for every particle, there is a corresponding new particle with the exact same mass, charge, and interaction strength, but a different spin.

Upon hearing Liu Miyan, the Conference Room fell silent instantly.

Then Liu Miyan's loud voice echoed in the Conference Room again, "Supersymmetry predicts the existence of Superelectron, and similar ones include Superphoton, Superquark, Supergluon, Superneutrino, and Supergraviton. Even the Higgs Boson will have a Supersymmetry particle, which we generally call the Super Higgs Boson."

Everyone listened attentively, but every scientist knew that Supersymmetry theory was not strictly correct; it had its limitations. The fact that it was being used to explain the physics of the collider meant that the scholars who proposed this view believed Supersymmetry applied within this specific range.

However, what Liu Miyan next made everyone ponder.

"It's one thing for a particle to have a mass that falls within the energy range of Astronomical-Level Particle Collider, but it's quite another to actually discover it. This is because it's difficult to sort through the debris produced by a collision, and it's even more difficult to reconstruct what happened."

"In fact, according to our stored records, we can see that in Earth Era, accelerators with 10 to the power of 15 GeV electron volts could produce Higgs Boson. But it is too difficult to reconstruct them from experimental data, let alone our Astronomical-Level Particle Collider energy levels of 10 to the power of 15 GeV electron volts. It is almost impossible for us to reconstruct the process of 'what happened'. We can only peek at the process through the debris from their collisions."

This means we cannot accurately calculate the physical processes at which energy levels they operate in using data captured by various detectors. Meanwhile, our mass-energy equivalence calculation method still uses the old approach, which inevitably leads to biases and makes us believe we are all correct.

It's clear that Liu Miyan supports analyzing the experimental results from the perspective of String Theory. He continued, "From this mathematical process, we can see that many Supersymmetry theories predict that they will undergo a spectacular decay chain, so it should be relatively easy to select data from here."

For example, in certain chain decay processes, Supergluon can transform a portion of its rest energy into a different kind of superparticle, and then this new superparticle can transform a portion of its rest energy into another superparticle in the same way.

After several such steps, we obtain a lightest superparticle, which is generally believed to be unable to decay further, but it will escape undetected in some unknown way.

"If this conclusion is correct, then what we detect in the detectors of Astronomical-Level Particle Collider will not be superparticles, but rather the particles emitted during their decay into the lightest superparticles. And we speculate that there may be some kind of product in those particles that we cannot detect."

It was precisely those products that deceived us, making us believe that mass-energy remained conserved before and after the experiment. In reality, however, they had quietly escaped. They could fool our detectors. We believe that they were fluctuations caused by some kind of Higgs Boson and its superpartner in some process.

This fluctuation can disrupt the detector's mechanism for detecting mass and energy levels; after all, detection itself is a form of interaction. As for the particles we cannot detect, I'll speculate here: I think it might be some kind of Tachyon.

Tachyon! Some kind of Tachyon!

Upon hearing Liu Miyan's words, all the scientists in the Conference Room understood his point of view. Clearly, Liu Miyan believed that Tachyon were the culprit, and he also believed that there was more than one type of Tachyon, otherwise he wouldn't have used the term "a certain type of Tachyon."

Some people know that the Hyperdistance Communication Core Component was traded from the Interstellar Transaction Market that the Crimson Flame Civilization was impersonating. It is said that the thing is also a Negative Mass Generator. Negative Mass, and Hyperdistance Communication, isn't that Tachyon Liu Miyan about now?

Did Liu Miyan and the Engineering Department dismantle that Hyperdistance Communication Core together? Some Research Personnel had this thought in mind.

They were right; Liu Miyan indeed joined forces with Yu Nanfeng from the Engineering Department to dismantle the Hyperdistance Communication Core. In the past, they would never have understood the function or purpose of each structure in that supposedly Level 4 Civilization creation, but now they understood some of it.

At least they discovered that some structures within this core were similar to certain parts of the Warp Engine in the human warehouse. After years of research, they concluded that it was the core structure for energy to do work.

Only after comparing the findings with information obtained from the Crimson Flame Civilization did Liu Miyan dare to say that what the Hyperdistance Communication Core produced might be some kind of Tachyon.

Tachyon have negative mass, and different types of Tachyon have different masses. They are all Faster-Than-Light Particle, but they become slower and slower when they gain energy. When they gain infinite energy, their speed will decrease to the speed of light, and they may Turn into Light.

It takes an infinite amount of energy to reduce it to the speed of light, which means it's impossible for it to reduce to the speed of light, since its mass is negative.

Contrary to what all humans know about this universe, applying energy to a particle of positive mass will accelerate it, but it will never reach the speed of light, because reaching the speed of light would require an infinite amount of energy.

Combining the Hyperdistance Communication Core with the mass change obtained from String Theory, Liu Miyan believes that it is caused by a certain Tachyon that can be used for Hyperdistance Communication.

From a detection perspective, it is indeed impossible for humans to detect Tachyon with current detection methods.

In other words, every collision in astronomical-scale collision experiments actually produces these Tachyon, but humans have been unable to detect them. The Higgs Mechanism, which disrupts the physical processes during the collisions, prevents human detectors from detecting the changes in mass.

If that's the case, then the barrier of a Level 4 Civilization is truly strong, almost unsolvable for a normally developing civilization.

There are many barriers behind this. One is the construction of Astronomical-Level Particle Collider, which requires this civilization to reach the peak of level three and achieve autonomous manufacturing of Strong Artificial Intelligence. Otherwise, it would not be possible to have such a powerful industrial capability.

Secondly, for this civilization to detect Tachyon, it must have Level 4 Civilization technology. But how could it have Level 4 Civilization detection technology if it hasn't reached Level 4 Civilization?

Third, it also requires that this civilization have a theory related to Tachyon, otherwise it would never have thought of this.
