Seeing that there was still a little time before work ended, Yue Yuan moved closer to keep listening.
"In Three-Dimensional Space, we equate the manifestation of time with changes in matter. In physics, it is the result of particle changes. Without particle changes, we can say that the particle's relative time has stopped."
Hearing Dao Heiqi reach this point, Zhen Yafei tilted her head. "Director Dao, are you saying that time at the Dark Matter level can no longer be described through particle changes? Uh, that does seem to be the case. Do we need to establish another way of describing the Time Dimension? Mm, that makes sense. We've been applying traditional concepts of the Time Dimension to Dark Matter research, but our most cutting-edge theories hold that Dark Matter has no concept of particles. If so, we really had been heading in the wrong direction."
Dao Heiqi nodded. "That's right. Dark Matter has no concept of particles. It interacts only with Gravity, and according to our theoretical descriptions, Gravity and the Electromagnetic Force are two of the Four Fundamental Forces with long range. Their natural range can extend without limit, but there are practical differences. The Electromagnetic Force, for example, cannot extend while disregarding spatial separation, whereas Gravity can. It is the only force capable of extending across higher and lower dimensions."
"Time is similar. The universe has Ten Spatial Dimensions, and time runs through them all, making eleven dimensions. Its dimensional manifestation is remarkably similar to Gravity's. Likewise, Human Civilization proved as early as the Earth Era that the speed of temporal change is related to Gravity. There must be some intrinsic connection between the two."
"We currently have no way to directly observe Dark Matter, but through the behavior of the Time Dimension in a Gravity Field,
