Since its discovery, the soul has been a subject of intense research.

However, studying the soul also comes at a cost, and in recent years, the prices of organisms involved in soul research have skyrocketed.

The price of popular laboratory monkeys, and monkeys captured through various channels, has increased at least tenfold.

Animal protection associations around the world have come forward to publicly appeal to scientific institutions and large corporations not to arbitrarily harm animals for their own benefit.

Not only have the prices of laboratory monkeys skyrocketed, but the prices of canine creatures, which can be observed to perceive the soul, have also surged.

Faced with this phenomenon, universities without sufficient resources really can't afford to conduct experiments related to the soul.

Not to mention that going a little deeper requires the use of particle accelerators, and there are very few particle accelerators with sufficient power worldwide.

Europa's particle accelerator is the largest particle accelerator, but not the only one.

However, due to the nature of the soul, human research on it remains at a very superficial level.

Therefore, some papers with unique insights and perspectives can be adopted by top journals even without supporting data.

Top journals like CNS encourage such behavior, to the point that articles about the soul published in these journals are jokingly referred to as science fiction by academics.

Of course, your theory needs to be self-consistent and within the basic framework of reality.

You can't just post something on S by randomly thinking about it.

Witten's conjecture is a guess based on his deep understanding of string theory. He even had some inspiration about how to prove this point—that the soul exists in a six-dimensional space that is unobservable by humans.

It will take time to design a complete and ingenious experiment.

Jean-Pierre said, "Perhaps it's dark matter, which exists in another dimension."

Witten nodded and said, "We have always had similar speculations, and I'm sure the scientists in the Europa Union have similar speculations as well."

That means dark matter exists in higher dimensions, and the Demon Brain can establish a connection between human will and higher dimensions.

In fact, this conjecture is very close to the essence of magic, but scientists on Earth currently lack the technology and experiments to prove it.

And their theories still need further refinement.

For example, the idea that Earth has gravity was proposed before Newton, but it wasn't until Newton that it was fully summarized into formulas and laws.

It was more than two hundred years later that Einstein described gravity as a geometric property of spacetime—curvature—through his theory of general relativity.

The three elements of spacetime curvature, matter in spacetime, and the energy-momentum tensor of radiation are interconnected, and their relationship equation is the Einstein field equation.

The scientists on Earth have only conjectures about the nature of magic, and it could even be said that the mages of the Mage Alliance do not fully understand the nature of magic.

The Mage Alliance's theory of magic still has many aspects that can be supplemented and optimized.

Witten continued, "I have always believed that gravity is affected by other dimensions."

Otherwise, gravity couldn't possibly be weaker than the other three fundamental forces.

Gravity is weaker than electromagnetism and the other two nuclear forces.

"We all know that the universe is expanding, and it is expanding at an accelerating rate."

The root cause of the accelerated expansion lies in "dark energy".

I believe there are one or more additional dimensions in the universe, which can only be manifested on very large scales, and which cause the universe to accelerate.

Light and matter are confined to the four dimensions we are familiar with, but gravity can 'leak' into other dimensions.

Therefore, the farther we look, the weaker gravity becomes, but light is not affected by the extra dimensions.

Meanwhile, the gravitational waves we directly observed in recent years provide good evidence for this. It is precisely because gravity leaks into other dimensions that the amplitude of the gravitational waves we observed showed a weakening phenomenon.

The "a few years ago" refers to a major event in the astronomical community in 2017: the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detected gravitational waves that Einstein had predicted to exist more than a hundred years ago.

Furthermore, that gravitational wave was caused by the slow merger of two neutron stars, and it was accompanied by a short gamma-ray burst.

Although the short gamma-ray burst lasted only two seconds, it was emitted directly towards Earth and was observed by NASA's Fermi Space Telescope.

Most mathematicians have some understanding of physics, especially quantum physics, which they often use as reading material to refresh their minds in their spare time.

Not to mention top mathematicians like Wiles and Jean-Pierre.

After a pause, Pierre said, "This evidence is insufficient; the connection is too weak."

The decrease in observed gravitational wave amplitude cannot be explained solely by gravity traveling to other dimensions.

Wei Teng laughed and said, "Actually, we have discovered more convincing evidence, but it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being."

Once we establish a formal partnership, the relevant content will be gradually made available to you.

About a hundred years ago, astronomer Zeviki discovered while studying galaxy clusters that in order to prevent individual galaxies from escaping from a giant galaxy cluster, there must be a large amount of unseen matter providing an additional source of gravity.

Later, humans named these invisible substances dark matter.

Although people know that this is dark matter, there is still no definitive conclusion as to what dark matter actually is, whether it is a single substance or multiple substances.

Dark matter performs very well in explaining large-scale structures, such as galaxy clusters, meaning that the predictions and observations are in high agreement.
