I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Professor Qu also has a tablet computer in his hand. While operating the tablet computer, he said: "Academician Shen, please refer to the document numbered A107."

Shen Qi opened the A107 file, and a large number of radio astronomy maps and related data were displayed in front of him. These data came from FAST.

The powerful FAST accurately gives the spectra of H2CO masers and H2CO absorption lines in the massive star forming region. There are both H2CO masers and H2CO absorption lines in this source, and the peak flows of the maser and absorption line components are in a certain degree It reveals the formation and chemical evolution of stars in the Milky Way, and provides the necessary data support for the study of the large-scale structure of the Milky Way.

Professor Qu's team has completed the Doppler calibration, and the values ​​in the spectral line mode parameter table are densely packed with more than ten pages.

This seems to be the prototype of a thesis manuscript. At the end of the A107 document, Professor Qu's team locked their eyes on the Perseus cantilever.

More specifically, a cluster of nebulae in the Perseus Arm.

"A major discovery!" Shen Qi patted his thigh fiercely, and he asked Professor Qu, "When was this nebula discovered?"

"In February this year, this nebula was detected by FAST for the first time." Professor Qu said, "We were surprised to find that its hydrogen abundance is much higher than that of conventional supernova remnants, which is not an order of magnitude at all. Its shape is like unfolding Butterfly with wings, we call it the Butterfly Nebula for now."

The Butterfly Nebula is more than 6,000 light-years away from Earth. The data in front of Shen Qi actually describes the state of the Butterfly Nebula more than 6,000 years ago.

As for Professor Qu's doubts, he didn't need to spend a lot of time explaining it to Shen Qi.

There are pictures and the truth, and Shen Qi can see the clues by looking at the maps and data.

Floating in the vast, dark void, the Butterfly Nebula is theorized to be a remnant nebula of debris after a star exploded.

Through years of research, human scientists have established a mature astrophysics theoretical system. The outer gas of a dead star will be blown away, and the core will collapse into a tiny dense ball of neutrons and a black hole that swallows everything.

However, no neutron balls or black holes have been detected in the interior of the Butterfly Nebula.

Shen Qi fell into deep thought, why is this?

Professor Qu tentatively put forward his opinion: "Academician Shen, do you think it is possible that there is a large amount of dark matter inside the Butterfly Nebula? This is the only reasonable explanation we can think of."

Shen Qi trembled slightly, but did not reply immediately.

Shen Qi once predicted in the "Physical Framework Model", also known as the "Shen Qi Conjecture", that dark matter does not exist in the universe.

Shen Qi also said in a public place that we should not spend too much energy studying dark matter, it is better to pay more attention to the research of antimatter.

What the hell is dark matter? Some say it's an as yet undiscovered particle, others say it's a projection from a higher dimension.

Stubborn physicists are building huge water tanks underground, hoping that dark matter will suddenly collide with apparent matter one day. They are extremely eager to witness the first glimmer of darkness colliding.

Sadly, dark matter never showed up.

Now, Professor Qu cited the detailed and credible FAST observation data, and through reasonable logical deduction, predicted that there is dark matter in the Perseus Cantilever Butterfly Nebula located more than 6,000 light-years away.

If Professor Qu's prediction is really right, Professor Qu will be promoted to Big Brother Qu in an instant.

And Shen Qi will be slapped mercilessly in the face.

Of course, if there is indeed dark matter in the Butterfly Nebula, it would take a long time to detect that dark matter. Even if humans build light-speed spaceships or light-speed detectors, it will take more than 6,000 years to fly to the Butterfly Nebula. It will take another 6,000 years to transmit the information back to Earth.

It takes more than 10,000 years to achieve a slap in the face, who the hell can live that long.

Shen Qi returned the tablet to Professor Qu: "Professor Qu, I need all the original data."

Professor Qu nodded: "No problem, the original data has been copied and prepared for Academician Shen."

Shen Qi smiled and thumped Professor Qu's chest: "Good old Qu, you already guessed that I would panic like a dog, didn't you?"

Professor Qu waved his hands again and again: "No, no, absolutely never had such an idea! Before Academician Shen answers our doubts, we will not disclose any information related to the Butterfly Nebula."

"I don't know when I will be able to give a conclusion. You can't interrupt your research plan because of me. Old Qu, what should your research team do? I suggest that you immediately publish an academic report on the detection of the Butterfly Nebula by FAST. This is your hard work and achievements for many years, I heard that you will not go home during the Chinese New Year?"

"During the Chinese New Year, we take turns going home. We must keep a few people to stick to FAST."

"Old Qu, just post an article and truthfully report the real data you have observed. We are scientists and ordinary people. Humans make mistakes, and my views may not be all right."

"Thank you Academician Shen for your understanding and support." Professor Qu sincerely shook hands with Shen Qi, and he felt the charm of Shen Qi's personality.

Some people care so much about fame, you're going to slap me in the face, aren't you? I will abolish you first.

Shen Qi was different, even if his theory was questioned, he still smiled lightly and calmly.

Two days later, Shen Qi and his daughter returned to the capital.

After this trip, Shen Nuofei and her father were closely connected. In the past, it was her mother who bathed Nuo Fei, but now Nuo Fei asked her father to bathe her.

The May Day holiday ended, and Shen Qi returned to work.

Shen Qi sat alone in the office, took a few deep breaths, and then entered a state of meditation.

All kinds of information surged in Shen Qi's mind, complete, fragmented, unified in mathematics, four basic forces, physical framework model, Riemann conjecture, Hodge conjecture, N-S equation, P versus NP, BSD, quantum Entanglement, earthquake prediction, butterfly nebula, dark matter, antimatter, hypothetical matter...

The things that have been personally experienced, the things that have not been experienced but can be foreseen, and the unforeseen are purely fantasies of YY, the present, the future, the real, and the ethereal, Shen Qi thought of many, many.

Human footsteps can never catch up with imagination, but if imagination surpasses footsteps too much, it is often considered unrealistic delusion.

Any imagination cannot be created out of thin air, it always has an origin.

Why did Professor Qu speculate that there is dark matter thousands of light-years away? Because he made logically reasonable speculation based on the current situation.

How to answer Professor Qu's doubts?

It is impossible for Shen Qi to fly to the Butterfly Nebula to collect data himself.

So what should we do?

Shen Qi picked up a pen and wrote two words on the white paper: cause and effect.

After thinking about it, Shen Qi added a few more words, and the content on the blank paper became: an operable causality model.

In fact, Shen Qi had this idea a long time ago, and it was not because of an accidental conversation with Professor Qu that the idea of ​​the causal law model was born.

Can an Actionable Causal Model Explain the Butterfly Nebula's Strange Features?

Shen Qi thinks it should be possible.

Shen Qi took his daughter on a trip to FAST and met Professor Qu by chance. Establishing an operable causal law model is about to become inevitable, and this may be a kind of cause and effect in the dark.

In fact, Shen Qi played causal prediction many years ago. He predicted four earthquake points, guessed two correctly, and the other two coordinate points have been calm so far.

At this moment, Shen Qi suddenly realized, ten years, a whole ten years, I finally figured out a neglected but crucial issue...

In fact, if you love the right person, Valentine's Day is celebrated every day.
