Chapter 86: Derive thew Part 2


    Since ancient times magiculus particles exits in the world of magic. It was way muchter when they discovered it and stated using it. Every human develops a magiculus vessel with time which stores magiculus particles in the body.


    At the center of this vessel exists a core which control the flow of magiculus particles in the vessel. It''s pretty much impossible to see the core with normal means. But Xin had a way for it. In his past life, when he was working in the Research division he had devised a way to split open this core. Add programming into it and make it do different things inside the body.


    Out of these many things, one was programing the core to release the ck hole inside the core and make a living creature suck from the inside.


    It may soundplicated but Xin had researched and mastered this method for this use. While reminiscing about the past Xin was dragged to reality after hearing Jia''s derivation.


    "In this world gravity predicts that ck holes can send ripples of gravity through the fabric of space itself. Once a day, there is a dazzling sh in the sky. It is not a sh of visible light, but a sh of gamma rays, a high-energy form of light even more powerful than X-rays. These shes, called gamma-ray bursts,e from the tremendous explosion of a star going "supernova." The event is thest gasp of a star''s core before it copses into a ck hole with the release of Dark Energy. "


    Xin was surprised that she even know about this. Her knowledge in this field was way much higher than anymon people. Now he was reconsidering his previous guesses.


    "For a century now it''s been known to human kind that the universe is expanding. What could be the reason behind it? What''s the energy or the driving force to make it happen? The answer is unknown. But ording to the assumptions made by human kind this energy is called Dark Energy. The expansion of the universe does not change fast enough for us to detect over our lifetime. We can only tell if the universe is speeding up byparing its expansion today with how fast it was expanding in the distant past.


    Some might think it might be impossible to tell what the universe was doing in the past; no one was there to observe it. But amazingly, wonderfully, nature gives us a way to see the past directly. The universe is sorge, that it takes a very long time for light to reach Earth from distant gxies. Therefore, the image that we capture today shows us what the object looked like in the past, when light left it - not what it looks like now, when we are receiving that light. By observing the motions of gxies at different distances, astronomers can tell how fast the universe was expanding at different times in the past."


    Xin understood what she was doing now. She was deriving a rtion of dark energy and ck holes.


    "A key breakthrough was finding a technique to determine the distance to a gxy, and therefore to tell how far back in the past we are looking. The technique rests on the happy ident that when a certain type of star dies, it explodes with a spectacr sh whose inherent brightness is known. These exploding stars, called supernovae, enable astronomers to determine the distance to the star and the gxy in which it lives and dies: The dimmer the sh appears, the further away the star must be. In its death, a star is a beacon to all observers throughout our universe, marking out distance in the dark reaches of space.


    From all this information, humankind have been able to piece together how fast the universe was expanding at different times in its history. The result is clear: Sometime around 5 billion years ago, the universe began elerating - its expansion getting faster and faster, rather than gradually slowing down. The conclusion: Something, which scientists now call dark energy, must be driving the eleration of the universe. The dark energy was presumably there since the beginning of the universe, but its effect bes more important as the universe expands.


    Humankind is able to determine how much dark energy there is as well, based on the measured rate of expansion of the universe. (They are able to do this because Einstein''s theory of gravity rtes the expansion rate of the universe to the total amount of all forms of mass or energy in the universe.) The result is that about 70% of the content of the observable universe must be dark energy. In other words, most of the universe is made of some mysterious form of energy whose nature ispletely unknown."


    In the world of magic at one moment people discovered that emptiness is not nothingness. And in this world Jia was first one to reach near the truth of it. Xin was an exceptional cause these things were not much of significance to him.


    But for normal people like Jia it was way much valuable for them.


    "Space has amazing properties, many of which are just beginning to be understood. The first property of space that Jia discovered is that more space can actuallye into existence. Her prediction: "empty space" can have its own energy. This energy would not be diluted as space expands, because it is a property of space itself; as more space came into existence, more of this energy-of-space woulde into existence as well. As a result, this form of energy would cause the universe to expand faster and faster as time passes. Unfortunately, no one understands why space should contain the observed amount of energy and not, say, much more or much less.


    "A new form of energy, called "quintessence," that might be the dark energy. Quintessence is rted to the idea of the energy of space itself, but unlike the energy of space envisioned by Einstein, quintessence would have the property that it could vary from ce to ce and moment to moment. Existing evidence tends to disfavor quintessence, but does not rule it out."


    In the magicless world Einstein was the first one who tried to reach near this truth. But s, he was unable to do so. Jia was taking help of Einstein''s past knowledge and research to reach near herw.


    How did she get to know about all these? Wasn''t she a hunter by profession?


    She was a hunter by profession. But thanks to the power ofws read by Xin and her dormant power she got to know all these theories.


    "It is possible that the elerating universe is not a sign of dark energy at all, but instead signals a new aspect of thew of gravity that Einstein overlooked. Scientists are hesitant to modify the known ws" of physics  especially something like Einstein''s theory of gravity, which has been very well tested over the past century. But with something as perplexing as dark energy, it is important to leave no stone unturned. Several leading scientists are now investigating the possibility that the most cherishedws of physics may need to be modified.


    Humankind thinks that the universe has extra dimensions of space beyond the three dimensions which we see and in which we move. It is possible that one of these extra dimensions of space can mimic the effect of a dark energy by causing the expansion of our three-dimensional space to elerate. The theory that predicts these extra dimensions, called "string theory," has not been tested experimentally.


    Dark energy has captured the imagination of scientists because it must be very different from anything we know. In order to understand it, we would have to have a much better understanding of how space, time, and matter are rted. This is the kind of challenge that drives revolutions in science.


    There are subtle questions as well. What is the purpose of dark energy? What role does it y in the unfolding universe? Such questions may seem unscientific, yet scientists continue to be astonished at the connections and rtedness within the physical world  a kind of "ecology of the universe." It would be surprising indeed if dark energy were an afterthought on nature''s part.


    One of the most perplexing questions is why the universe we observe today should contain an amount of dark energyparable to the amount of normal matter. Why not much more or much less? What is special about this near-bnce between dark energy and normal matter? No one knows yet."


    At this point Jia was emitting enormous amount of energy from her body. It would have been a problem if it had hit someone near it. But Xin had predicted it before hand and formed a barrier around Jia.


    A barrier that will redirect the energy into Xin''s Dimensional Vessel.


    The magiculus vessel that he had developed afterbing his Dimensional Pocket and Magiculus Vessel. A two in one solution in short.


    "It seems curious that dark energy should be discovered at just that time in history when we thought we had finally answered the ancient Greek question, "what is the world made of?" It took two thousand years to answer that question.


    First, we had to invent science along the way. Finally, we have studied and understood all of the chemical elements and many of the fundamental particles of which they are made. We have periodic tables and textbooks crammed with lists fundamental particles. Yet now we find that most of the universe is made of somethingpletely unknown."
