When Han Bi arrived, he found Huang Ji chatting amiably with the Superconducting Master.
Every Sha Cha person knew the master's name.
But few had seen him in person. Images circulating online showed him in the form of a purebred Sha Cha person.
Only now did Han Bi see his true, complete form.
Blue-violet skin, faint silver stripes, and points of light that twinkled like stars made him look like a silhouette cut from a frozen night sky.
Enormous white horns rose from either side of the shell on his head. Both horns and shell shimmered beneath a layer of energy, unmistakably made of Ultimate Alloy.
He towered like a mountain, his eyes like suns and stars.
The outline of mouthparts remained on his face, but he had removed the real ones long ago. He usually communicated through gravitational waves. If he wanted to make a sound, any part of his body would do; a pulse of energy could send out a deafening wave.
"Huang Ji, your understanding of fundamental particles is profound. I've enjoyed talking with you. But some of your ideas are absurd. Measuring the angular momentum of the universe?" The Superconducting Master kneaded two strange clusters of atoms, each like a miniature star, in his bare hands. He sounded amused.
They had mainly been discussing the Mass Field. That was its common name in the Milky Way; on Earth, it was called the Higgs Field, or the God Particle.
It was perhaps the most important fundamental particle. It gave most particles their mass. Without it, the rest mass of quarks and all bosons would be zero.
It had zero spin, yet it was everywhere, permeating the universe.
When light interacted with the Higgs Field, all things came into being.
Perhaps the early universe could be seen as
