Scene 512. Light deflection

A genius can remember the address of this website in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest updates! No ads!? In an instant, Mr. Alberton felt that the world had become unreal.

The basis of the mages' theories comes from observation, and most human observations rely on vision.

Now, they have discovered that light will be bent by gravity, which means that the original observation data must take into account the influence of gravity. In the low-speed and tiny world, the gravity value is very low, and an approximation can be adopted, but in the macroscopic high-speed world In the world, especially when it comes to the laws of movement between planets, the influence of gravity cannot be ignored.

If light really bends due to gravity, then the current observation data of planets have huge errors. All theorems including Regens' three laws will be overturned and rewritten, and Lord Alberton will be promoted to legend. The cornerstone of the three laws of kinematics may also deviate.

Lord Alberton felt shaken and did not dare to think further, for fear that these thoughts would lead to cognitive instability and collapse.

Lord Braggs saw Lord Alberton's troubles. He carefully observed the bent laser and pondered for a long time before speaking.

"According to the Inglet uncertainty principle, we cannot measure the position and momentum of a particle at the same time. Therefore, we originally thought that light is a massless object and therefore will not be affected by gravity. But now it seems that this theory There are some deviations.”

He thought for a moment, glanced at Reiner, and then continued.

"To be precise, light does not have rest mass, but only has momentum when it moves."

Reiner nodded slightly.

This is easy to understand.

When electrons inside an atom transition in orbits of different energy levels, the light released has different energies. Its energy follows Stein's formula E=hv. If light has rest mass, and the quality of light at different frequencies is different, then When the energy of a moving photon is E=1/2mv^2, the speed of the photon will differ due to the difference in mass. However, in fact, the speed of light is constant without deviation. Therefore, inversely, the photon does not have rest. quality.

This is also consistent with the inference of Reiner's mass-energy conversion equation. Mass is a manifestation of energy. To be precise, it is a measure of the inertia of an object. Therefore, photons can be regarded as particles that are not bound by inertia. , in fact, light only has energy and does not have static quality.

It is precisely for this reason that light is deflected due to the influence of gravity.

"only......"

Lord Braggs changed the subject and began the calculation process. Countless rays of light circulated in the control room and turned into equations.

Soon, the calculation was over, but Lord Braggs's expression did not become relaxed, but became more solemn.

"According to the calculation results, if the three laws of kinematics and the gravity formula are applied, the calculated deflection angle is this value."

He waved his hand and a simplified calculation result was presented.

"But in fact, the observed deflection angle is this value."

The carefully calculated value of the light deflection angle also appeared in Lord Braggs' hand. It can be seen that the actual measured value is almost double the value calculated by the gravity formula. This can no longer be explained by errors.

"There seems to be some twists and turns that we don't know about."

Lord Braggs closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking.

At this time, at the bottom of the silent large hollow, the Abyssal Submarine was located outside the Nether Gate. Although there was no longer the threat of the invisible monster, things that frightened the mages even more lingered.

"Actually."

After a long time, Reiner cleared his throat and spoke, making the remaining people look at him.

Reiner proposed the theory of relativity and solved many problems related to the speed of light, but now it seems that this theory is not perfect.

In fact, after the theory of relativity was proposed, many observational results were consistent with Lehner's predictions.

But there are also those that are not in line with the predictions, but the deviations are relatively small. The explanation given by many mages is the error of observation methods.

Now it seems that this may be related to the deflection of light under the influence of the gravitational field.

"After I proposed the theory of relativity, I have always had a doubt, that is, how gravity propagates."

When Reiner's words first came out, the mages were still a little confused, but soon, they realized the problem in Reiner's words, and everyone showed surprised expressions.

"Yes, if the speed of light is constant and unsurpassable, then the propagation of gravity should be temporal. This means that gravity is not an instantaneous effect, but needs to propagate."

Lord Alberton said as if he suddenly understood.

This also means that the gravitational force between the sun and the planet on the main plane needs to be delayed for several minutes to arrive, because the speed of gravity cannot exceed the speed of light.

Substituting this point into the current astrological theory, the results obtained are incredible and contrary to experimental observations.

But if it is believed that the propagation of gravity does not require time, then it will violate the assumption in the theory of relativity that the speed of light cannot be exceeded.

"Gravity itself is a kind of information. Under the framework of relativity, it cannot exceed the speed of light, so a huge contradiction arises. Reiner, have you thought of this problem before?"

Field looked at Reiner, this young high-level mage whom Field had watched grow up step by step, but he didn't expect that he had already considered it so far. I am afraid that now, in terms of academic level, Field is no longer as good as Reiner.

"I had some thoughts before, but I couldn't find a solution, so I never put it forward systematically. Until now, we realized that light will bend due to the existence of gravitational field, which gave me a new idea. idea."

Reiner said, he glanced outside the glass window at the Netherworld Door that was looming under the light, and then spoke.

"First of all, gravity is not an interactive force like electromagnetism. To be precise, gravity is not a force."

Reiner's words made Mr. Alberton's eyes widen. In his decades of research, gravity has always been one of the basic forces and the basis of his research. But now Reiner actually says that gravity is not a real force?

"What did you say, Reiner?"

Lord Alberton asked uncertainly, causing Reiner to repeat what he said before.

"Gravity is an interaction. It does not originate from the mutual attraction of matter. Its essence originates from the distortion of space and time. In other words, Your Excellencies..."

Reiner paused and then said.

"The space-time we live in is not flat, but is distorted. Just like the space around the Netherworld Gate, it is this distortion that generates gravity and deflects light."
