"What exactly is dark energy?" Wu Jie couldn't help but ask.
"Dark energy is the truth of the universe, it is death, and it is the end of everything," Lilith explained.
"I still don't understand."
"Let me put it this way, Master. Let's use a human coin as an example. Our world is the heads side of the coin, and dark energy is the tail side. Life in our universe exists on the heads side of the coin, while dark energy exists on the tail side."
"The smallest unit of all our matter is actually infinitesimal, just like the universe, it has no end. Even in Lilith's time, no one had found the smallest unit of matter, because even the smallest unit can still be divided."
"For example, you humans can already split electrons into atoms, split atoms into protons and neutrons, and then split them into quarks. Everyone thought quarks couldn't be split any further, but in fact, they can be split even further."
Wu Jie nodded and replied, "Yes, after more than two thousand years of progress, we humans have divided quarks into eight smaller particles, and now we have reached the eighth level: quarks."
Susan immediately added, "Our current particle collider has reached its limit. Breaking it down further is incredibly difficult. I've researched many ways to upgrade the collider, but all efforts have come to nothing. The strong nuclear force of farak is like an impenetrable barrier. I once believed farak was the smallest unit of matter."
Lilith nodded: "Master, Sister Qianye, it is already remarkable that your human technology can reach this level."
"But what is the relationship between the size of this matter and dark energy?" Wu Jie asked a key question.
Lilith smiled sweetly: "Master, don't worry, Lilith will explain everything clearly."
"Well, it's okay. You tell me."
"I believe that with your knowledge, Master and Sister Qianye, the 'strong nuclear force' should be easily understood. It is energy. However, as to the exact nature of this energy, you have no way to verify it, so you can only hypothesize. Lilith, let me explain. In my past, we divided the Fak, as you know it today, down to the smallest unit of Fak, 76 times."
"76 times?!" Wu Jie and Susan looked at each other in shock.
Susan remembered it very clearly. It was more than a thousand years ago that a great scientist invented an "anti-strong nuclear force turbulence collision method" and used an extremely complex experimental environment to successfully split quarks.
You have to understand that because quarks always exist as three quarks, and are always firmly locked by gluons, no matter what method humans use, they cannot be cut. The force required is too great, and even if the power of the entire universe were to be borrowed, it might not be successful.
Anyone who's studied physics and chemistry well knows that the strong nuclear force tightly binds the smallest units together. It's like a strong, unbreakable rope binding particles together. Imagine you have two horses with infinite strength, hooking the particles and pulling them from the left and right. To pull the particles apart, you need a strong enough hook that won't break and a strong enough horse to provide the opposing force.
But the strong nuclear force is different. In the old scientific world, everyone believed that the "force" of the strong nuclear force was nearly infinite, and no one could divide it. However, it was not until the advent of the "Anti-Strong Nuclear Force Torrent Hedging Method" that the bottleneck that had locked humanity in the microscopic world was completely broken.
Later, human technology, like a hack, continued to subdivide quarks through experiment after experiment, reaching eight levels in a row! However, it took humanity nearly a thousand years to reach the current level of quarks. However, some scientists still question the existence of particles below the quark level.
Now, Lilith came out and said something truly shocking. She could actually split it 76 times under Fake?! This was too outrageous and too shocking. What kind of power or technology would be needed to achieve this?
"Could it be that matter can really be divided infinitely?!" Susan couldn't help but mutter.
Wu Jie also felt that his brain was not enough: "What is the ultimate truth of matter?!"
"It's energy..." Lilith smiled sweetly.
"Energy?" The two were shocked again.
Lilith nodded and continued, "Actually, after we divide it twenty-seven times, there are no more particles left."
"No particles?"
"Yes, there are no particles. All that's left is energy. This energy is dark energy and positive energy, and they are always entangled together."
"But, isn't dark energy unobservable? And, doesn't that mean that everyone has dark energy in their body?" Wu Jie asked.
“Yes, dark energy cannot be observed, but we can verify it.”
"Lilith, you said that the existence of positive energy can reversely verify dark energy?" Susan was very smart and immediately noticed the key point.
"Sister Qianye is really smart. Yes, although dark energy cannot be directly observed, we can verify its existence through positive energy."
Lilith glanced at Wu Jie and continued, "Master, every substance in this world, whether it's a star, a life form, or a stone, is a combination of positive energy and dark energy. Because of the balance, they can manifest in the form of surface energy and become real matter."
"They have completely merged together, are stable, and cannot be separated. One light and one dark, one positive and one negative, they always coexist and become one. This is why life was born in the universe, and why intelligent life appears in the universe."
"So that's how it is... Although I still don't quite understand it... But, since it is energy, why can it be further divided?" Wu Jie asked another key question.
Lilith continued to explain, "Energy is different from particles. Although they don't appear in an external energy form, they still contain a large number of components inside. At first, we thought that was the final form of energy. Later, we discovered that the positive energy we can observe actually contains observable dark energy!"
