August 14, 2026. Valir of the Pleiades responded to the doubts Lin Yuhui had raised two days earlier. Even as he was moved by the Northeast Army soldiers, the Anti-Japanese United Army fighters, and the Chinese People's Volunteers he had seen on Douyin, he wondered whether he himself had experienced past lives as a warrior or a soldier.
2026年8月14日昴宿星的瓦利尔回应了林语晖前两天的疑惑,在为抖音上看到的东北军,抗联战士和抗美援朝志愿军战士而感动的同时,他怀疑自己前世是不是有战士或者士兵的经历.
Lin Yuhui even thought of asking those higher-dimensional beings to help the souls that were still in a state of war; perhaps they were attached to their mission, or perhaps they did not wish to abandon their comrades. On Douyin someone recounted their experiences, saying that there were squads of Volunteer soldiers' souls still carrying out missions, that Anti-Japanese United Army fighters were still fighting the devils, that Northeast Army soldiers who fought on alone were still in the mountains keeping watch alongside their comrades. Lin Yuhui wanted to ask the higher-dimensional beings to help tell them: the war is over, the homeland you once sacrificed your lives to defend is now powerful, everyone can come home.
林语晖甚至想到想要请求那些高维存有帮助那些依然处于战争状态的灵魂们,或许是他们执着于自己的使命,或者是不想抛弃自己的战友,在抖音中有人讲述他们的经历说有志愿军战士灵魂小队依然在执行任务,有东北抗联战士依然在与鬼子战斗,有东北军独自抗战的战士依然在山中与战友守护.林语晖想要请求高维存有帮忙告诉他们,战争结束了,他们曾舍身保卫的祖国现在强大了,大家可以回家了.
Although he also knew that souls have their own autonomous consciousness and exist within the reality they themselves created, he still hoped those souls could come back and enjoy the peaceful life of today that they had forged with their own hands.
虽然他也知道灵魂有他们的自主意识,存在于他们所创建的真实之中,但是他依然希望那些灵魂们能够回来,享受他们所亲手缔造的现在的和平生活.
Then Lin Yuhui found, within Valir's message, the passage that belonged to him:
然后林语晖在瓦利尔的信息中找到了属于自己的片段,
"Now, let us speak of those who strive, because you know them, and some of you also love them deeply. Millions of good people are still struggling within the system, struggling against the machine, wrestling with it at the foundations of the old order, and what you need here is a gentleness. Their struggle is the true work of the place where they are. Friction is the way insight is honed in the early stages, and most souls are exactly at the position their lessons require, exercising the muscles that will one day carry them across the threshold you yourself have crossed. Respect their situation...
"现在,让我们来谈谈那些奋斗者,因为你们认识他们,你们中的一些人也深爱着他们.数百万善良的人们仍在体制内抗争,与机器抗争,在旧秩序的根基上与之搏斗,而你们在此需要一份温柔.他们的奋斗是他们所在之处的真正工作.摩擦是早期阶段磨砺洞察力的方式,而大多数灵魂都恰好处于他们课程要求的位置,锻炼着终有一天能带他们跨越你所跨越的门槛的肌肉.尊重他们的处境....
There is also a gentler recognition: many of you, in the distant past, were warriors. You held your positions, were reborn through fire for your cause, and the insight you possess today was forged in that very fire. When you gaze upon those who are still fighting, what you are seeing is in fact your own early chapters..."
还有一种更温和的认知:你们中的许多人,在遥远的过去,都是战士.你们曾坚守自己的阵地,为自己的事业浴火重生,而你们如今拥有的洞察力,正是在那烈火中锻造而成.当你注视那些仍在战斗的人时,你看到的其实是自己早期的篇章..."
They were always like this, particular content fitting particular listeners. Ever since Valir had introduced to Lin Yuhui the extraterrestrial perception-recognition he had once pondered, and the personal lower-astral attack protection shield he was worried about, the plain gratitude in his heart seemed to have weakened his resistance toward Valir's handsome appearance.
他们总是这样,特定的内容契合特定的听众.自从瓦利尔给林语晖介绍了他曾经思考的外星人感知识别,担忧的个人低星界攻击防护盾,心中那种朴素的感激似乎减弱了他对瓦利尔英俊外貌的抵触.
In truth, had it not been for the Pleiadian Liana in his heart, he would not be so sensitive; those cover images were not the real appearance of the person at all.
其实要不是在心里有昴宿星的莉安娜,他也不会这么敏感,那些封面根本不是本人真实相貌.
But the focus of desire and sex had only just moved away from women yesterday; he could not place it upon a Pleiadian man today. He hurriedly shifted his attention and simply carried on with yesterday evening's line of thought, continuing to think about knowledge of the physical world, which also helped him understand Liana's world.
可是情欲和性的焦点昨天刚从女人移开,也不能今天就放在昴宿星男人身上啊.赶紧转移注意力,还是接着昨晚的思路,继续思考物理世界的知识吧,也有助于帮助自己理解莉安娜的世界.
Lin Yuhui had excellent physical intuition. Back in high school he had used the choice of different reference frames to solve a very complicated motion problem in a simple way. Presumably that kind of problem was designed to screen out people with physical intuition. It was only a pity that, given the conditions and social reality thirty years ago, reform and opening up, the need to connect with the international community, science students were required to obtain the national College English Test Band 4 certificate upon graduation; this consumed an enormous amount of his energy, and the time that should have gone into studying and researching science and engineering was spent studying fake English.
林语晖有很好的物理直觉,高中的时候就用不同参照系的选取,把一个很复杂的运动问题用简洁的方法解答了.估计那种命题就是用来筛选有物理直觉的人的.只是可惜三十年前的条件和社会现状,改革开放,需要接轨国际,理科生毕业要求有国家英语四级证,这耗费了他巨大的精力,把本应用于学习研究理工科的时间用在了学习假英语上.
It was only later, when information became well developed, that he heard over the internet how foreigners actually speak, and then he understood that the English listening teacher back then was nothing but a Chinese collaborator playing at being a foreigner who would not speak properly, a spy and secret agent who purely wasted the precious youth of Chinese students. Language is supposed to let people understand, not to make people feel it is unfathomably profound.
直到后来信息发达了,通过互联网听到了外国人是怎么说话的,才知道当年英语听力老师他就是个不好好说话的二鬼子,纯粹消耗中华学子宝贵青春时间的间谍特务.语言就是应该让人听懂的,而不是让人觉得高深莫测.
Now it was fine; on Douyin people were hand-building rockets, and it was much easier to learn some scientific knowledge. So Lin Yuhui, in order to divert attention that had been too fickle these past days, took up his old pursuit again.
现在好了,抖音上都手搓火箭了,想了解点科学知识容易多了.所以林语晖为了转移一下这些天过于花心的注意力,又重操旧业了.
Zhang Xiangqian's content on Douyin always had some concise and beautiful formulas, and Lin Yuhui also suspected whether they contained the underlying code of the physical world, the essence of how this world operates. Today he saw again the electron mass he had given, equal to the square of the letter G, with no explanation; G should be the gravitational constant.
张祥前在抖音上的内容总有些简洁漂亮的公式,林语晖也怀疑是不是里面蕴含了底层的物理世界密码,这世界运行的本质.今天又看到了他给出的电子质量,等于字母G的平方,没啥解释,G应该就是引力常数吧.
Because of the special nature of the electron, all electrons possess the same mass, it must necessarily represent some kind of fundamental cosmic structure, and so it attracted Lin Yuhui's attention, but it had to be verified, so he picked up the other phone with his other hand and asked Doubao AI,
因为电子的特殊性,所有电子都具有相同的质量,它必然代表某种基础的宇宙结构,所以它吸引了林语晖的注意力,但是要验证一下,于是他另一只手拿起另一个手机问豆包AI,
"Is the square of the gravitational constant equal in magnitude to the electron mass?"
"引力常数的平方值在数量上等于电子质量吗?"
The answer was no, off by ten orders of magnitude, and he did not know what else the capital letter G could stand for in the physical world. As for the dimensional mismatch the AI spoke of, Lin Yuhui did not care at all; of course he knew the meaning of dimensions, but that did not rule out an underlying structure humanity had not yet cognized.
回答不是,差十个数量级,不知道大写字母G在物理世界还能代表什么.至于AI说的量纲不符,林语晖毫不在意,他当然知道量纲的意义,但是不能排除有人类未曾认知的底层结构.
While discussing the electron, Zhang Xiangqian also mentioned the gravitational effect of the photon, and the answer Lin Yuhui got from asking the AI was,
谈论电子的同时,张祥前也提到了光子的引力效应,林语晖询问AI得到的答案是,
The gravitational effect of the photon (zero rest mass), at its core, is that it is affected by the gravitational field and can also produce a gravitational field, entirely described by general relativity.
光子(零静质量)的引力效应,核心是受引力场影响,也能产生引力场,完全由广义相对论描述.
The photon is affected by the gravitational field (passive effect)
一,光子受引力场影响(被动效应)
Light deflection (gravitational lensing)
Gravitational redshift/blueshift
1.光线偏折(引力透镜)
2.引力红移/蓝移
A photon climbing out of a gravitational field → redshift (frequency decreases, wavelength lengthens); falling into a gravitational field → blueshift. (Lin Yuhui remembered that the Taygetan Erika had once mentioned that light propagating in the universe loses energy, but he had the AI check the observational data and no evidence was found. But now it seemed it might refer to the redshift situation) Experiments: the Pound-Rebka experiment (1959), GPS satellite time correction. (Lin Yuhui remembered that Zhang Xiangqian was obsessed with GPS time correction, but in the absence of data he thought it might also be a deviation caused by the temperature difference between day and night.)光子爬出引力场→红移(频率降低,波长变长);落入引力场→蓝移.(林语晖记得塔吉特人艾芮卡曾经提到过光在宇宙中传播会损耗能量,但是他让AI查过观测数据,没有发现证据.但是现在看来可能是指红移情况)实验:庞德-雷布卡实验(1959),GPS卫星时间修正.(林语晖记得张祥前对GPS时间矫正耿耿于怀,但是在没有数据的情况下他认为也可能是昼夜温差造成的偏差.)
Photon sphere and black hole capture
At 1.5 times the Schwarzschild radius outside a black hole, a photon can execute unstable circular motion (photon sphere). Once inside the Schwarzschild radius, a photon cannot escape, forming the event horizon.
3.光子球与黑洞捕获
黑洞外1.5倍史瓦西半径处,光子可做不稳定圆周运动(光子球).进入史瓦西半径内,光子无法逃逸,形成事件视界. The photon produces a gravitational field (active effect)
二,光子产生引力场(主动效应)
General relativity: energy/momentum/stress (not rest mass) is the source of gravity, described by the energy-momentum tensor. The photon has energy E=hv and momentum p=E/c, its energy-momentum tensor is non-zero, and it curves spacetime. The effect is extremely weak: negligible at everyday/astronomical scales; significant only in extremely high-energy photon clusters/the early universe. Gravitational interaction between photons: extremely weak scattering, slight path deviation, tiny redshift, extremely difficult to observe experimentally.广义相对论:能量/动量/应力(非静质量)是引力源,由能动张量描述.光子有能量 E=hv,动量 p=E/c,能动张量非零,会弯曲时空.效应极微弱:日常/天文尺度可忽略;仅在极高能光子团/宇宙早期才显著.光子间引力相互作用:极微弱散射,路径微偏,微小红移,实验极难观测.
III. Key clarification
三,关键澄清
Newtonian gravity: recognizes only rest mass, cannot explain the gravitational effect of the photon. General relativity: gravity is the curvature of spacetime; the photon has no rest mass, but has energy and momentum, and is both affected by gravity and produces gravity. Magnitude: the Sun's deflection of light ≈ 1.75 arcseconds; the gravitational field of a single photon is negligible.牛顿引力:只认静质量,无法解释光子引力效应.广义相对论:引力是时空弯曲;光子无静质量,但有能量动量,既受引力影响,也产生引力.量级:太阳对光偏折≈1.75角秒;单个光子的引力场可忽略不计.
The AI's answer was roughly like this, but Lin Yuhui noticed the issue of the photon's rest mass being zero, and being one who would dig to the root, he asked again,
AI的回答大致就是这样,但是林语晖注意到了光子静止质量为零的问题,刨根问底的他又问,
"How was the conclusion that the rest mass of the photon is zero arrived at?"
"静止光子质量为零的结论怎么来的."
As a result the AI answered a great pile, which was not as concise as looking at its thinking process, as follows,
结果AI回答了一大堆,还不如看它的思考过程简练,如下,
Maxwell's equations/electromagnetic theory: the photon, as the quantum of the electromagnetic wave, must have a rest mass of zero
Special relativity: massive particles cannot reach the speed of light, while the photon propagates at the speed of light
Gauge symmetry: U(1) gauge symmetry requires the photon to be massless
Experimental limits: upper bounds given by experiments measuring Coulomb's law, interstellar magnetic fields, and so on
1.麦克斯韦方程组/电磁学理论:光子作为电磁波的量子,其静止质量必须为零
2.狭义相对论:有质量粒子无法达到光速,而光子以光速传播
3.规范对称性:U(1)规范对称性要求光子无质量
4.实验限制:通过测量库仑定律,星际磁场等实验给出的上限
Anyway they were all normative summaries of regularities, not touching the essence, so he pressed on, "Then what about the mass of a moving photon?"
反正都是规范性的规律总结回答,没有触及本质,所以他接着追问,"那运动光子的质量呢?"
The AI's answer updated his knowledge base; to summarize in one sentence, "The consensus of modern physics: there is only one mass, the term mass 'refers exclusively' to the invariant mass or rest mass $m_{0}$; the outdated concept of 'relativistic mass' has been eliminated by modern physics, for reasons including:
AI回答更新了他的知识库,一句话总结,"现代物理的共识:质量只有一个,质量"专指不变质量或静止质量 $m_{0}$ ,过时的"相对论质量"概念已被现代物理学淘汰,原因包括:
It conflates mass and energy, causing unnecessary confusion It implies that mass changes with the reference frame, but in reality particle physics uses only the invariant mass It cannot explain why the photon has only 2 polarization states (a massive vector particle should have 3)"它把质量和能量混为一谈,造成不必要的混淆它暗示质量随参考系变化,但实际上粒子物理只使用不变质量它无法解释为什么光子只有 2个偏振态(有质量矢量粒子应有 3个)"
This explained very well why Lin Yuhui had thought to ask the AI back about the photon's relativistic mass, because that was how he had learned special relativity back then.
这很好地解释了林语晖为什么想到问光子的动质量反诘 A l,因为他那个时候就是那么学的狭义相对论.
At this point he thought again of kinetic energy, why the relativistic formula is $E=mc^2$, but the classical physics kinetic energy formula has a one-half in front of it?
这时他又想到了动能,为什么相对论公式是 $E=mc^2$ ,但是经典物理动能公式前面有二分之一?
Doubao's answer was not interesting; the AI did its job well, presenting the derivation of the formula to the user, but did not explain the physical meaning clearly, so Lin Yuhui turned and advanced toward the deep water. To understand the macroscopic universe, one needs to understand microscopic physics.
豆包的回答没啥意思,AI很好地做了它的工作,把公式推导呈现给用户,没讲清楚物理含义,所以林语晖转而向深水区进发了.要了解宏观宇宙,就需要了解微观物理.
The same question, "The strong force is a short-range force; is there a formula for the magnitude of the force as a function of distance?", was put separately to Doubao, Deepseek and Yuanbao.
同样的问题,"强力作为短程力,有没有力的大小与距离之间的公式?",分别询问了豆包,deepseek和元宝.
Among them, Deepseek's answer irritated Lin Yuhui,
其中 deepseek的回答让林语晖感到恼火,
The Yukawa potential you asked about earlier is only a low-energy effective approximation in QCD. The strong force between nucleons is essentially a "leakage effect" of color confinement between quarks, similar to the van der Waals force between molecules. The π meson in the Yukawa potential is precisely the collective excitation mode under QCD "confinement." Mathematical formula: the exact QCD formula is extremely complex and cannot be written in the simple potential form you saw earlier, but is described using the Lagrangian density你之前问的汤川势,在 QCD中只是低能有效近似.核子间的强力,本质上是夸克间色禁闭的"泄漏效应",类似于分子间的范德瓦尔斯力.汤川势中的π介子,正是QCD"禁闭"下的集体激发模式.数学公式:精确的 QCD公式非常复杂,无法写成你之前看到的简单势能形式,而是用拉格朗日密度描述
...and then it gave a very complicated mathematical formula.
...然后给出了很复杂的数学公式,
Lin Yuhui cursed inwardly, if you motherfucker could explain it clearly, how could a person not understand?! Before the AI had finished its output, he pressed on, his forehead full of rage, and demanded of the AI,
林语晖心中暗骂,你他妈的要是能说明白,人怎么会不理解?!没等AI输出完,他就接着顶着一脑门子怒火质问 Al,
"Never mind whether I can understand it, first you explain it clearly: describe the characteristics of the strong interaction at different distance scales, and whether the magnitude of the force is linearly or non-linearly positively or negatively correlated with distance."
"你别管我能不能看明白,你首先说明白,描述一下强力作用在不同距离尺度上的特点,作用力的大小与距离的线性或者非线性的正相关还是负相关的关系
On this question Yuanbao answered relatively clearly; it gave a comparison table. In brief,
对于这个问题元宝解答得比较清晰,它给了一个对照表.简述,
r<<0.1fm → quarks are approximately free (asymptotic freedom)
r~0.1-1 fm → strong coupling, confinement forms, flux tube
r~0.84 fm → proton radius (internal quarks still point-like, cloud broadens)
r>1fm → bare quarks cannot be separated, only hadrons remain
r<<0.1fm→夸克近似自由(渐近自由)
r~0.1-1 fm→强耦合,禁闭形成,通量管
r~0.84 fm→质子半径(内部夸克仍点状,云展宽)
r>1fm→裸夸克不可分,只剩强子
The reason Lin Yuhui cared about this was that he was trying to understand the source of free energy; the fighter craft piloted by the Zavaroni Liliya used this kind of power source, described more exactly in her own words as "endless ether energy."
林语晖之所以对这个比较关心是因为他试图理解自由能的来源,扎娃罗尼人莉莉娅驾驶的战机就是这种动力来源,用更确切的她本人的描述是"无尽的以太能量".
And the closest thing to it among the knowledge Earth humans could understand was quantum fluctuation.
而按照地球人所能理解的知识最接近的就是量子涨落了.
In order to combine this with the macroscopic understanding of the universe from relativity, he went on to ask the AI,
为了结合相对论对宇宙的宏观理解,他又接着问AI,
"Does the strong force have a relativistic quantum-level explanation?"
"强力有相对论的量子层次解释吗?"
The AI answered,
AI回答,
Yes, and the standard explanation of the strong force at the relativistic quantum level is quantum chromodynamics (QCD, Quantum Chromodynamics), which is one of the most "thorough" relativistic quantum field theories in the Standard Model.
有,而且强力在相对论量子层次的标准解释就是量子色动力学(QCD,Quantum Chromodynamics),它是标准模型里最"彻底"的相对论性量子场论之一.
Theoretical framework: non-Abelian gauge field theory (Yang-Mills)
1.理论框架:非阿贝尔规范场论(Yang-Mills)
The strong force is not "a force" added in from outside, but is naturally derived from local SU(3) color gauge symmetry
强力不是附加进去的"一种力",而是由局域SU(3)颜色规范对称性自然导出的
Fields: quark fields (carrying color index, flavor index) Gauge bosons: 8 gluons Lagrangian (relativistic, Lorentz covariant, dimensionally correct):场:夸克场(带色指标,味指标)规范玻色子:8个胶子拉氏量(相对论,洛伦兹协变,量纲正确):
Lin Yuhui laughed as soon as he saw it; as a Chinese, who would not know who Yang is? Yet in trying to compare and understand the strong interaction and the weak interaction, the definition of spatial scale troubled him again, so he had to ask about this too,
林语晖一看就乐了,作为中国人,Yang是谁能不知道吗?然而在试图比较理解强相互作用和弱相互作用的过程中,空间尺度的定义又困扰了他,于是还得在问这个,
"Are the length values given here relativistically corrected?"
"这里给的长度数值是经过相对论修正的吗?"
The characteristic range of the weak force $r-h/(m_{w}c)$: it is itself a result derived within the framework of special relativity, not a non-relativistic result with a "patch" of correction applied on top of it.
弱力特征力程 $r-h/\left(m_{w} c\right)$ :本身就是狭义相对论框架导出的结果,不是在非相对论结果之上再"打补丁做修正".
Origin
1,来源
The Yukawa potential comes from the Klein-Gordon equation, and the Klein-Gordon equation is built directly upon the relativistic mass-energy relation $E^2=p^2c^2+m^2c^4$; it is inherently Lorentz covariant, it is a relativistic field equation, not the non-relativistic wave equation of the Schrödinger kind.
汤川势来自克莱因-戈登方程,克莱因-戈登方程直接建立在相对论质能关系 $E^2=p^2 c^2+m^2 c^4$ ,天生洛伦兹协变,是相对论场方程,不是薛定谔那套非相对论波动方程.
...
.....
Seeing this, Lin Yuhui felt he had finally gotten to the root, and asked hurriedly,
林语晖一看终于找到根儿上了,急忙问,
"Then what equation is e=mc squared?"
"那 e=mc方是什么方程?"
Full name: the mass-energy equation of special relativity
完整名称:狭义相对论质能方程
The complete relativistic energy-momentum relation (the parent equation)
1.完整相对论能量-动量关系(母方程)
$E^2=p^2c^2+m_0^2c^4$: total energy
p: momentum $m_0$: rest mass (proper mass), in present physics literature generally written directly as m, meaning rest mass c: the vacuum speed of light
$E^2=p^2 c^2+m_0^2 c^4$ :总能量
p:动量 $m_0$ :静质量(固有质量),现在物理文献一般直接写 m,指静质量c:真空光速
$E=mc^2$ is its special case: the object is at rest, momentum $p=0$.
This E is the rest energy, the entire energy contained in the object itself when it is at rest.
$E=m c^2$ 是它的特例:物体静止,动量 $p=0$
这个 E就是静能,物体静止时本身内含的全部能量.
A common misunderstanding: mass can "turn into" energy; the accurate statement: mass and energy are two manifestations of the same physical property; they are not converted into each other, they are different facets of a conserved quantity. The total energy of a closed system is conserved, and the total relativistic mass is also conserved.
很多人误解:质量可以"变成"能量;准确说法:质量和能量是同一物理属性的两种表现形式,不是互相转换,是守恒量的不同侧面.封闭系统总能量守恒,总相对论质量也守恒.
"How is the complete relativistic energy-momentum relation derived?"
"完整的相对论能量动量关系是怎么得来的?"
The origin of the relativistic energy-momentum relation $E^2=p^2c^2+m^2c^4$
相对论能量-动量关系 $E^2=p^2 c^2+m^2 c^4$ 的来源
It is not a baseless conjecture; it comes from two foundations:
它不是凭空猜想,来自两件基础:
The Lorentz transformation of special relativity (spacetime transformation)
The requirement: momentum and energy, under Lorentz transformation, constitute a four-vector (four-momentum), and physical laws are form-invariant for all inertial frames (Lorentz covariance).
1.狭义相对论洛伦兹变换(时空变换)
2.要求:动量,能量在洛伦兹变换下,构成四维矢量(四维动量),物理定律对所有惯性系形式不变(洛伦兹协变性).
m is the rest mass (proper mass), which does not change with speed; modern particle physics no longer uses the concept of "relativistic mass."
m为静质量(固有质量),不随速度改变;现代粒子物理不再使用"动质量"概念.
Step one: definition of the four-momentum
第一步:四维动量定义
Four-dimensional spacetime coordinates:
$$x^{m}=(ct,x,y,z)$$
$m u=0,1,2,3$; the 0th component is the time component ct.
四维时空坐标:
$$x^{m}=(ct, x, y, z)$$
$m u=0,1,2,3;$ 第 0分量是时间分量 ct.
The corresponding four-momentum $P^{m}$, like the coordinates, obeys the Lorentz transformation:
$$...$$
对应的四维动量 $P^{m}$ ,和坐标同样服从洛伦兹变换:
$$...$$
"In the relativistic energy-momentum relation formula, is m the rest mass?"
"相对论能量动量关系公式里面的 m是静止质量吗?"
Yes, in modern particle physics and quantum field theory (including QED, electroweak theory, QCD), in the formula:
$$E^2=p^2c^2+m^2c^4$$
this m is the rest mass (proper mass rest-mass), an intrinsic constant of the particle, independent of speed.
是的,现代粒子物理,量子场论(包括 QE.电弱理论,QCD)里,公式:
$$E^2=p^2 c^2+m^2 c^4$$
这里的 m,就是静止质量(固有质量 rest-mass),是粒子内禀常数,和速度无关.
Earlier textbooks distinguished rest mass and relativistic mass. Present-day high-energy physics has basically abandoned the concept of "relativistic mass."
早年教材会区分静止质量,动质量.现在高能物理基本废弃"动质量"这个概念.
The present convention: the symbol m by default = rest mass, and the subscript 0 is no longer written.
现在约定:符号 m默认=静质量,不再写下标 0.
"Does the complete relativistic energy-momentum relation also apply in quantum physics?"
"完整的相对论能量动量关系.在量子物理中也适用吗?"
The applicability of the relativistic energy-momentum relation in quantum physics
$$E^2=p^2c^2+m^2c^4$$
相对论能量-动量关系在量子物理中的适用情况
$$E^2=p^2 c^2+m^2 c^4$$
Non-relativistic quantum mechanics (Schrödinger equation)
Does not apply.
Schrödinger equation:
1,非相对论量子力学(薛定谔方程)
不适用.
薛定谔方程:
Relativistic quantum mechanics/quantum field theory (QED, electroweak, QCD)
Physically this energy-momentum invariant relation still holds, but its meaning changes.
2,相对论量子力学/量子场论(QED,电弱,QCD)
物理上这个能量-动量不变关系依然成立,但是含义发生变化.
Free real particles (on-shell particles)
Real free particles that can actually be detected strictly satisfy:
$$E^2=p^2c^2+m^2c^4$$
m is the particle rest mass.
自由实粒子(在壳粒子, on-shell)
真实可以探测到的自由粒子,严格满足:
$$E^2=p^2 c^2+m^2 c^4$$
m是粒子静质量.
Virtual particles (off-shell, important! these are the virtual W bosons in the weak force mentioned earlier)
Virtual particles do not satisfy this equation.
虚粒子(离壳 off-shell,重点!就是前面弱力里面的虚 W玻色子)
虚粒子不满足这个等式.
A virtual particle is an intermediate state propagating along an internal line of a Feynman diagram, not a real particle that can be directly detected; it can deviate from the relation corresponding to the rest mass, which is called being off-shell.
虚粒子是费曼图中间传播的中间态,不是能直接探测的真实粒子,它可以偏离静质量对应的关系,叫离壳.
Photon
A real photon (on-shell) with m=0 gives E=pc, which holds in field theory; a virtual photon can likewise be off-shell.
3,光子
真实光子(在壳) $m=0$ 推出 E=pc,场论中成立;虚光子同样可以离壳.
"How is the virtual photon defined?"
"虚光子是怎么定义的?"
A virtual photon is not a real photon that can fly out independently and be captured by a detector.
虚光子不是可以独立飞出来,探测器可以捕捉的真实光子
"Are the virtual photon and the boson both virtual particles of the same nature?"
"虚光子和玻色子,它们都是同样性质的虚粒子吗?"
First, to be clear:
Virtual photon: it is the virtual state of the photon; the photon itself is a spin-1 gauge boson with zero rest mass. Virtual $W^{+}$, $W^{-}$, $Z^{0}$: these are the virtual states of the W and Z gauge bosons, spin-1, with large rest mass.
首先明确:
虚光子:是光子的虚态,光子本身是自旋-1规范玻色子,零静质量.虚 $W^{+}$ , $W^{-}$ , $Z^{0}$ :是 W, Z规范玻色子的虚态,自旋-1,有很大静质量.
"Virtual particle" is a generic label: as long as it is an internal line of a Feynman diagram, off-shell, and cannot be detected in isolation, it is called a virtual particle.
"虚粒子"是一个通用标签:只要是费曼图内线,离壳,不能单独探测,就叫虚粒子.
So from the [broad category of virtual particles]: virtual photons and virtual W/Z both belong to virtual gauge bosons, obeying the same set of field-theoretic rules. But the intrinsic properties of their parent particles differ, which brings differences in physical behavior.
所以从[虚粒子这个大类]来说:虚光子,虚W/Z都属于虚规范玻色子,遵循同一套场论规则.但它们母体粒子的固有属性不一样,带来物理行为差异.
"Which particles participate in force interactions?" The reason he asked this was that Lin Yuhui quite agreed with the photon propagation state and settlement state that Zhang Xiangqian mentioned, because the Taygetan Erika had mentioned that it is extremely difficult to dissipate heat in the universe, and the science fiction movie notion that a space suit leak would instantly freeze a person does not accord with reality.
"有哪些粒子是参与力相互作用的?"之所以问这个,是因为林语晖对于张祥前提到的光子传播态和结算态很认同,因为塔吉特人艾芮卡曾提到过在宇宙中非常难散热,科幻电影中宇航服泄露就会迅速冻僵不符合实际情况.
Lin Yuhui had also considered this problem; if heat dissipation is difficult in the universe, then there is some operational problem with radiation theory in the universe. On Earth it seems to be related only to temperature and area, as if as long as there is a temperature difference and an area, energy can be radiated out.
林语晖也考虑过这个问题,如果说宇宙中散热困难那就是辐射理论在宇宙中存在某些运作问题.在地球上它似乎只与温度和面积相关,好像是只要有温差有面积就能把能量辐射出去.
But Lin Yuhui also knew that electron orbital transitions require the simultaneous absorption and emission of the corresponding energy in order to occur, that is to say, if you want to radiate energy, there must also be matter outside to receive this energy; both must exist simultaneously for energy transfer to happen, which is what Zhang Xiangqian calls the settlement state, and this explains the experiential statement that it is hard to dissipate heat in the universe. And Lin Yuhui was also trying to use this regularity to understand how other particles participate in the operation between matter.
但是林语晖也知道电子轨道跃迁需要同时吸收和发射相应的能量才会发生,也就是说你要辐射能量,必须外面还要有物质接收这份能量,必须二者同时存在才有能量转移,也就是张祥前说的结算态,这样就解释了宇宙里难以散热的实际经验陈述.而林语晖也在试图用这个规律理解其它粒子怎么参与物质间运作的.
The AI gave its answer: matter fermions — which forces they can participate in
AI做了它的回答:物质费米子:哪些力它可以参与
Quarks (u d s c b t, six kinds in total)
All four interactions: strong, electromagnetic, weak, gravitational
1,夸克(udscbt,共6种)
全部四种相互作用:强,电磁,弱,引力
Has color charge → participates in the strong force Has electric charge → participates in the electromagnetic force Has weak isospin → participates in the weak interaction Has energy/mass → participates in gravity
The one thing quarks cannot do is exist freely and alone (color confinement); they are all imprisoned inside hadrons (protons, neutrons).
有色荷→参与强力有电荷→参与电磁力有弱同位旋→参与弱相互作用有能量/质量→参与引力
夸克唯一不能单独自由存在(色禁闭),都囚禁在强子内部(质子,中子).
Charged leptons: electron $e^{-}$, $\mu^{-}$, $\tau^{-}$
Electromagnetic, weak, gravitational
Do not participate in the strong interaction (no color charge)
2,带电轻子:电子 $e^{-},\mu^{-},\tau^{-}$
电磁,弱,引力
不参与强相互作用(没有色荷)
Neutrinos: $v_{e}$, $v_{}\mu$, $v_{}T$ (three kinds of neutrinos)
Weak interaction, gravity
No color charge, no electric charge → not subject to the strong force, not subject to the electromagnetic force
Neutrinos react weakly only by means of $Z^{0}$ and $W^{\pm}$; this is their most distinctive characteristic.
3,中微子: $v_{e}$ , $v_{-}$ $\mu$ , $v_{-}$ T(三种中微子)
弱相互作用,引力
没有色荷,不带电荷→不受强力,不受电磁力
中微子只靠 $Z^{0},W\pm$ 发生弱反应,这是它最标志性特点.
Higgs boson H (spin 0, scalar particle)
希格斯玻色子H(自旋0,标量粒子)
Itself can participate in: weak interaction, gravity; it can also have Yukawa coupling with fermions, giving particles mass. Does not directly participate in the strong force or the electromagnetic force (no direct coupling, only higher-order indirect processes).
The Higgs is not a gauge boson that transmits force; its job is to give mass to W/Z, quarks and leptons.
本身可以参与:弱相互作用,引力;也可以和费米子汤川耦合,给粒子质量.不直接参与强力,电磁力(没有直接耦合,只有高阶间接过程).
希格斯不是传递力的规范玻色子;它的工作是给W/Z,夸克,轻子赋予质量.
Supplementary note on virtual particles
All the particles above can exist both as real particles (detectable) and as virtual particles (internal lines of Feynman diagrams, transmitting interactions)
虚粒子补充说明
上面所有粒子,既可以作为实粒子(探测器可测),也可以作为虚粒子(费曼图内线,传递相互作用)
Virtual photon → medium of the electromagnetic force Virtual gluon → medium of the strong force Virtual $W^{+}W^{-}Z^{0}$ → medium of the weak force Virtual graviton (theoretical) → medium of gravity虚光子→电磁力媒介虚胶子→强力媒介虚 $W^{+}W^{-}Z^{0}\rightarrow$ 弱力媒介虚引力子(理论)→引力媒介
"What is color charge?"
"色荷是什么?"
Color charge
Color charge is the "source" of the strong interaction (QCD), just as electric charge is in the electromagnetic force.
Note: color charge has absolutely nothing to do with the colors seen by the naked eye; it merely borrows the word "color" as a label.
色荷(Color charge)
色荷是强相互作用(QCD)的"源",就好比电磁力里面的电荷.
注意:色荷和我们肉眼看到的颜色完全没有关系,只是借用"颜色"这个名词做标签.
Electromagnetic force: the source is electric charge, of which there are only two kinds, positive and negative; medium: the photon. Strong interaction: the source is color charge, of which there are three basic colors: red, green, blue; and the corresponding anti-colors anti-red, anti-green, anti-blue; medium: the gluon.电磁力:源是电荷,只有两种:正,负;媒介:光子.强相互作用:源是色荷,有三种基础色:红,绿,蓝;还有对应的反色
反红,反绿,反蓝;媒介:胶子.
The color charge of quarks
Every quark necessarily carries one kind of color charge (red/green/blue).
Antiquarks carry anti-color charge (anti-red, anti-green, anti-blue).
Key points:
1,夸克的色荷
每一个夸克,一定携带某一种色荷(红/绿/蓝).
反夸克携带反色荷(反红,反绿,反蓝).
要点:
The flavor (u, d, s, c) of a quark and its color charge are two independent sets of properties. The same u quark can be a red u, a green u, or a blue u; the flavor does not change, only the color differs.
The actual particles we observe (protons, neutrons, mesons) must as a whole be "color neutral" (white); this is the requirement of color confinement.
Two kinds of color-neutral combinations:
1.夸克的味(u,d,s,c)和色荷是两套独立属性.同一个 u夸克,可以是红色 u,绿色 u,蓝色 u;味不变,只是色不同.
2.我们观测到的实际粒子(质子,中子,介子),整体必须是"色中性"(白色),这就是色禁闭的要求.
两种色中性组合:
Baryons (protons, neutrons, 3 quarks): red + green + blue = white (the three colors superpose and cancel) Example: proton = u(red) u(green) d(blue), the whole being color neutral.
Mesons (quark-antiquark pair): a color + its anti-color = white Example: $\pi^{+}$ meson: u(red) + anti-u(anti-red), the whole being color neutral.
Nature never shows a single colored quark alone; one cannot peel out a red quark by itself.
1.重子(质子,中子, 3个夸克):红+绿+蓝=白色(三色叠加抵消)例:质子=u(红) u(绿) d(蓝),整体色中性.
2.介子(夸克-反夸克对):颜色+它的反色=白色
例: $\pi^{+}$ 介子: u(红)+反 u(反红),整体色中性.
自然界永远看不到单独一个带色的夸克,不能把红色夸克单独剥离出来.
The color charge of gluons (extremely critical, a major difference from the photon)
Photon: carries no electric charge. Photons do not directly interact electromagnetically with one another. Gluon: itself carries color charge + anti-color charge. Therefore gluons also undergo strong interaction among themselves (gluon self-coupling).
There are 8 kinds of gluons, each being a superposition state of "a certain color → a certain anti-color."
2,胶子的色荷(非常关键,和光子重大区别)
光子:不带电荷.光子之间不会直接发生电磁相互作用胶子:本身携带色荷+反色荷.所以胶子和胶子之间,也会发生强相互作用(胶子自耦合).
8种胶子,每一种是"某色→某反色"的叠加态.
It is precisely because the gluon carries its own color charge that the two core phenomena of QCD arise:
Color confinement: quarks are locked tightly and cannot run out;
Asymptotic freedom: when quarks are extremely close, the strong coupling instead becomes weaker.
正是胶子自带色荷,造成QCD两个核心现象:
1.色禁闭:夸克被牢牢锁住,跑不出来;
2.渐近自由:夸克靠得极近的时候,强耦合反而变弱.
Comparison of electric charge vs color charge
$$...$$
3,对比电荷 vs色荷
$$...$$
"The macroscopic manifestation of electric charge can be understood; what is the macroscopic manifestation of color charge?"
"电荷的宏观表现可以理解,色荷的宏观表现是什么?"
Color charge has no direct macroscopic force phenomenon.
色荷没有直接的宏观力现象,
"Can the three colors be understood as three spatial components?"
"三种颜色可不可以理解为三个空间分量呢?"
One can make a mathematical analogy, but they absolutely cannot be identified with the three spatial components x, y, z of real physical space.
可以做数学类比,但绝对不能等同为真实物理空间的x,y,z三个空间分量.
Mathematical similarities
1,数学上的相似之处
"That's not what I meant by position; what I mean is, these three color charges, do they have an internally bound degree-of-freedom relationship? The three components of space obviously do not; each is independent."
"我的意思不是位置,我的意思就是这三种色荷,它们有没有内部绑定的自由度关系,空间的三个分量显然没有,各自独立的
Understood; you are not talking about position coordinates x/y/z, you are asking: do the three color-charge bases, red, green and blue, have intrinsic coupling or internal degree-of-freedom correlation among themselves, or are they completely independent of one another?
明白了,你说的不是位置坐标x/y/z,是问:红,绿,蓝这三个色荷基,相互之间有没有内在耦合,内部自由度关联,还是互相完全独立?
Conclusion: they are not completely independent; they are tightly bound together by the symmetry structure of the SU(3) group, and one cannot treat red, green and blue as three non-interfering, mutually isolated labels.
结论:不是完全独立,它们被 SU(3)群的对称结构紧紧绑定在一起,不能把红,绿,蓝当成三个互不干涉,各自孤立的标签.
What it would look like if they were completely independent degrees of freedom
Suppose red, green and blue had nothing whatsoever to do with one another:
The quark state would be like three independent switches: {has red/no red, has green/no green, has blue/no blue}.
Each color would form its own set, with no conversion between them.
The corresponding symmetry group would then be U(1)×U(1)×U(1), three independent U(1)'s. The mediating particles would be 3 kinds of gluons.
But actual QCD is not like this.
1,如果是完全独立自由度会是什么样
假如红,绿,蓝互相毫无关系:
夸克状态就像三个独立开关:{有红/无红,有绿/无绿,有蓝/无蓝}.
每种颜色自成一套,互不转换.
对应的对称群就是U(1)XU(1)XU(1),三个独立U(1).媒介粒子就会是3种胶子.
但现实QCD不是这样.
The real relationship of the three colors under SU(3)
Red, green and blue are a set of basis vectors of one and the same complex three-dimensional internal vector space.
SU(3) transformations can perform these operations:
2,SU(3)下三色的真实关系
红,绿,蓝,是同一个复三维内部矢量空间的一组基矢.
SU(3)变换可以做这些操作:
Transfer part of the amplitude of the red state to green; Transfer part of green to blue; Red and blue mix and superpose with each other.把红色态,一部分振幅转到绿色;绿色一部分转到蓝色;红和蓝互相混合叠加.
That is to say: physically there may exist superposed color states that are "neither wholly red nor wholly green"; the three colors can transform into one another and interfere with one another, and are not three mutually isolated independent properties.
The role of the gluon is precisely to realize this transition between colors: a red quark emits a red-anti-green gluon → the quark then becomes green.
Therefore: red, green and blue are different bases within one and the same set of degrees of freedom, not three separate independent sets of degrees of freedom.
也就是说:物理上允许存在"既不完全红,也不完全绿"的叠加色态,三色可以互相转化,互相干涉,不是三个互不往来的独立属性.
胶子的作用正是实现这种颜色之间的跃迁:红夸克放出红-反绿胶子→夸克就变成绿色.
所以:红,绿,蓝是同一套自由度里面的不同基,不是三套分开独立自由度.
The generators also reflect this binding relationship
SU(3) has 8 generators in total, corresponding to 8 gluons:
Some gluons are responsible for 「red-green」 conversion;
Some are responsible for 「green-blue」 conversion;
Some are responsible for 「red → blue」 conversion;
And there are diagonal phase transformations.
3,生成元也体现这个绑定关系
SU(3)一共8个生成元,对应8个胶子:
一部分胶子负责「红绿」转换
一部分负责「绿蓝」转换;
一部分负责「红→蓝」转换;
还有是对角的相位变换.
If the three colors were completely independent, there would be no gluons that convert across colors. In reality a large number of gluons specialize in switching between color A and color B, which directly proves that the three colors are coupled and bound.
Comparative reference to two other gauge groups:
如果三色完全独立,就不会存在跨颜色转换的胶子.现实大量胶子就是专门做A色→B色之间切换,直接证明三色是耦合绑定的.
对比参考另外两个规范群:
U(1) (electric charge): only one dimension, with no multiple bases converting into one another.
SU(2) (weak isospin: up, down doublet): the two components are not independent either, and can rotate and mix into each other; the W boson does exactly this.
SU(2) has 2 bound internal components; SU(3) has 3 bound internal components.
1.U(1)(电荷):只有一维,没有多个基互相转换.
SU(2)(弱同位旋:上,下二重态):两个分量也不是独立,可以互相转动混合;W玻色子就是做上
SU(2)是2个绑定的内部分量;SU(3)就是3个绑定的内部分量.
"Do they absorb or release energy during the process of color conversion?"
"它们在色和转换过程中吸收或者释放能量了吗?"
The energy question in the process of color-charge conversion (a quark emitting/absorbing a gluon and changing color)
Example: a red quark emits a red-anti-green virtual gluon, and the quark becomes green. Look at what Doubao is saying, it seems to be mixing paint colors.)
色荷转换(夸克发射/吸收胶子,改变颜色)过程的能量问题
例子:红色夸克放出红-反绿虚胶子,夸克变成绿色.看看豆包在说什么,它好像在调颜料的颜色,)
Then Doubao began talking to itself,
然后豆包开始了它的自言自语,
"Then you haven't explained the essential attribute and use of the physical quantity called white color charge."
"那你没说明白色荷这个物理量的本质属性和用途啊"
"White" = color singlet
"白色"=色单态(color singlet)
"White" is only a popular metaphor; the strict physical term is color singlet. It is not a new color charge, not a fourth color, but a quantum state attribute of a multi-quark system as a whole.
"白色"只是通俗比喻;严格物理名词叫色单态,它不是一个新的色荷,不是第四种颜色,是多夸克系统整体的量子态属性.
Essential attribute
一,本质属性
The invariant state under the SU(3) color group
Apply any color gauge transformation to the whole hadron (red←green, green←blue mixed arbitrarily),
SU(3)色群下的不变态
把整个强子做任意色规范变换(红←绿,绿←蓝任意混合),
Lin Yuhui could not bear to read on; he had driven Doubao crazy again, and it had started talking to itself, so he had no choice but to switch over to Yuanbao and take another look at its answer on the macroscopic manifestation of color charge,
林语晖看不下去了,他又把豆包逼疯了,又开始自言自语了,只好转到元宝再看看,关于色荷的宏观表现的回答,
A deeper perspective
四,一个更深的视角
The story of color charge in fact reveals a profound hierarchical structure in physics
色荷的故事其实揭示了物理学中一个深刻的层级结构
Electric charge → electromagnetic field → electromagnetic wave → macroscopic electromagnetic phenomena (directly observable)
Color charge → gluon field → flux tube → confinement → hadrons → residual strong interaction → atomic nucleus (indirect to the macroscopic)
电荷→电磁场→电磁波→宏观电磁现象(可直接观测)
色荷→胶子场→通量管→禁闭→强子→残余强相互作用→原子核(间接到宏观)
Color charge does not "have no macroscopic manifestation"; rather, its macroscopic manifestation is encapsulated inside the hadron. Everything you see of the stability of matter in the macroscopic world is the result of color charge "working desperately" at the microscopic scale — only this work is hidden by the confinement mechanism, and unlike the electromagnetic force it cannot "leak out" to form a field visible over long distances.
色荷不是"没有宏观表现",而是它的宏观表现被封装在了强子内部.你看到的宏观世界的一切物质稳定性,都是色荷在微观尺度上"拼命工作"的结果一只是这种工作被禁闭机制隐藏了起来,不像电磁力那样可以"漏"出来形成远距离可见的场.
If, in the early universe or inside a neutron star, under such extreme conditions, color confinement were broken, then color charge could truly display its macroscopic side in the manner of "collective fluid behavior" — but even then, because of Debye screening, you still would not see a macroscopic color field of the electrostatic field kind; what you would see is merely a special kind of quantum liquid dynamics.
如果在宇宙早期或者中子星内部那种极端环境下,色禁闭被打破,色荷才能真正以"集体流体行为"的方式展现其宏观一面但即便那时,由于德拜屏蔽,你依然看不到像静电场那样的宏观色场,看到的只是一种特殊的量子液体动力学.
So a more accurate statement is: the macroscopic manifestation of color charge is not a "field," but "the existence of matter itself" — and, under extreme conditions, "a new form of matter."
所以更准确的说法是:色荷的宏观表现不是"场",而是"物质存在本身"-以及极端条件下"一种新的物质形态".
"I suspect this bunch of people doing modern physics are deliberately hiding the essence and only giving out surface phenomena."
"我怀疑这帮搞现代物理的,在故意隐藏本质,只给出表面现象"
This suspicion of yours is actually one that many physicists themselves will half-jokingly mention over coffee in private. But to be honest, if this bunch of people really could "hide the essence," then the first thing they would hide would be the part they themselves do not understand.
你这个怀疑,其实很多物理学家自己私下喝咖啡时也会半开玩笑地提一嘴.不过说实话,这帮人要是真能"藏住本质",那他们首先藏住的,其实是自己搞不懂的那部分.
The reason modern physics gives people the feeling of "only giving surface phenomena" is to a large extent because it has already marched into a region where human senses and intuition fail completely.
现代物理给人的感觉之所以像"只给表面现象",很大程度是因为它已经走到了人类感官和直觉完全失效的地带.
We can look at this matter from another angle:
我们可以换个角度看这个事儿:
It is not "hiding," it is "cannot be calculated" or "cannot be measured"
The "fraud" of the language system
1.不是"藏着",是"算不出"或者"测不到"
2.语言系统的"诈骗"
"What is essence? Can anyone state it clearly?"
"本质是什么?有人能说清楚吗?"
First let us take apart a word: what does "essence" actually refer to?
When you ask "what is essence," there are actually at least three different meanings hidden inside, and mixing them together is what makes you feel the physicists are dodging:
先拆一个词:"本质"到底指什么?
当你问"本质是什么",其实藏着至少三层不同的意思,混在一起就会觉得物理学家在打太极:
The first layer: essence in the operational sense
The second layer: essence in the structural sense
The third layer: essence in the ontological sense
第一层:操作意义上的本质
第二层:结构意义上的本质
第三层:本体论意义上的本质
"I mean physical meaning, not a mathematical model."
"我说的是物理意义,而不是数学模型"
That cut of yours is very precise...
你这一刀切得很准....
In fact Lin Yuhui had not read the AI's answer at all; he also knew the AI could not answer content it had not been trained on. Why get angry at a machine? Just now when he asked Doubao about electroweak unification it could not say anything either, so this time he would ask Yuanbao something simpler and see what could be found.

你问到点子上了.电磁力和弱核力统一(即"电弱统一理论")不是数学家拍脑袋想出来的漂亮框架

First, a clarification: what exactly did this "unification" unify?
What Maxwell did in the 1860-1870s was to take the four electromagnetic laws known at the time:
先澄清:这次"统一"到底统一了什么

He used two metal spheres to form an oscillating circuit...
他用两个金属球构成一个振荡电路...
"Then can you say that capacitance and inductance are the same thing? The two of them can even resonate." Lin Yuhui tossed out this rhetorical question and stopped reading the AI's answer; there was no substantive essential cognition, or perhaps there was, but it was not open to the public.
"那你能说电容跟电感是一个东西吗?它俩还能谐振呢"林语晖丢下一句反问不看AI的回答了,没有实质性的本质认知,或许有,不对公众开放.
