"Because photoelectric implants can restore lost vision, they can also be used to give humans the ability to spy on things outside the visible spectrum." According to the report, although the secular concept still has some resistance to these implants, "the computer extends into the human body and may be more like an exoskeleton to a large extent."
If there is any country that will cause a revolution in wearing computers, it is probably South Korea. Broadband is more widely used in this country, and the plastic surgery rate is one of the highest in the world, which has laid a medical and technical foundation for meeting this demand.
Will we find that the universe has neither a beginning nor an end?
In the traditional picture of the origin of the universe, the Big Bang is the starting point of time. This is one of the greatest mysteries in the history of science. I spent years trying to understand the meaning of this moment. In that picture, the universe was born at a point with infinite density and temperature, which is what we know as the original singularity. I'm exploring the idea that singularity is not the beginning of time. In this new view, time has no starting point, and BIGBANG is the result of the collision of flaky spaces existing in higher-dimensional reality. These collisions may occur many times, creating an eternal and iterative universe.
What is exciting is that the observation work that can test these ideas will be completed in the next 20 years or even earlier. At present, the most powerful data about the Big Bang comes from Planck satellite, which can map the microwaves left over from the early days of the extremely hot universe. Planck can measure the temperature of these microwaves and look for a specific model predicted by the cosmological standard model. If we don't see some features of this model, it will be a serious blow to the standard model. In addition, our circular universe model can make specific predictions on the distribution of different types of substances in the universe. For example, if we can observe the dark matter mass in the universe carefully enough, we may be able to support the theory of cosmic circulation.
Whether it is correct or not is just a philosophical question, but it can be verified by observation as long as 10 or 20 years. It is amazing that science has reached such a level. We can even answer one of the oldest and most fundamental questions, that is: where do we come from? This will be a great satisfaction. One day, whether it is a hundred years or a thousand years later, we will all go into space and begin the journey to ensure the survival of human species outside the earth. A better understanding of the operation of the universe is also helping ourselves to some extent, so that we can use the basic laws of the universe to develop new and unexpected technologies. I don't think such an idea is whimsical.
Physicists are about to reveal the basic laws of the universe.
My greatest hope is to figure out how to integrate gravity and quantum mechanics to realize the dream dating back to Einstein's time, and in a more modern form, this dream has firmly grasped the hearts of two generations of theoretical physicists. This theory may provide us with a tool to clearly understand the origin of the universe.
Even if we want to make some key progress, we need to try to establish a connection between the experimental and theoretical work of quantifying gravity and unifying natural forces. For a long time, we have always believed in theoretical viewpoints such as string theory, rather than starting from experiments or observations. This way is unusual for the development of a science. In the next 30 years, with the help of the Large Hadron Collider and satellite-based astronomical observation, it may be earlier. I hope this situation can change. If the observation results support this theory, that would be great; If they rule out the possibility of this theory, that's good, because we can still go ahead at full speed and explore other ideas. One of the great mysteries of string theory now is that the extra dimensions needed for mathematical operations may take many forms. In the mid-1980s, there were dozens; Today, it is estimated that this number has soared to at least 10500. Theorists cannot test all these possibilities. 10500 species is nine Niu Yi hairs relative to the number of particles in the observable universe! Therefore, we will continue to explore some mathematical equations to accurately describe several or even a specific form of extra dimensions, so as to determine the single universe predicted by string theory. In addition, we may prove that there is no single universe, but multiple universes exist at the same time. Every universe uses different forms of extra dimensions, and our universe is just one of the grand multiverses. This will be one of the most profound revolutions in our long-held view of the universe.
I believe we can determine what dark matter is before 2040. The work of determining dark energy is more difficult, but we can also succeed. If I allow my imagination to be as free as a runaway wild horse, I will imagine that we will finally have a deep insight into the practical significance of space and time. We have learned a lot about the characteristics and functions of space and time, but many of us still think that these are not the most fundamental. Determining the composition of time and space will greatly broaden human vision.
The discovery of life on other planets will reveal how ordinary human beings are in the universe.
Do we have companions in the universe? In the next 30 years, we may know. I believe that by observing the atmosphere of exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) that are currently being detected, we will find signs of life, especially those planets with similar mass and orbit to Earth, where we may find oxygen and other chemical characteristics. We may not find technological civilization in the next 30 years, but we should be able to find evidence of simple life forms. In order to achieve this goal, our space mission must be able to obtain the atmospheric spectrum of exoplanets. This includes blocking the light from the central star and making the light from the dim planet the focus of attention.
1995 the discovery of the first Japanese-like exoplanet helped us adjust our technology. Since then, every year we have discovered more planets than the previous year (more than 450 so far). In the process of searching for extraterrestrial life, it happens that every time a planet is discovered, our exploration strategy will become smarter and more efficient. I also hope that the future Mars probe may be lucky to find fossils of life or chemical characteristics of life after digging on the surface of Mars. Comparing with the most primitive life form on earth will tell us whether the spark of biochemistry before change is common or rare.
I hope that more energetic space exploration activities will continue. Humans have a space station between the Earth and the Moon. Outside the earth's gravitational field, we can launch robot-driven spacecraft to other destinations in the solar system. Looking ahead, I am glad to see the appearance of micro-robot astronauts smaller than mobile phones, who will rush out of our solar system and reach the nearest star system-Alpha Centauri. By keeping the quality of these robot astronauts low, we can accelerate them easily. We can even launch an army composed of these micro-robot astronauts, so that they can complete the tasks that mobile phones can do: take photos and call home.
