Lightning is a normal natural phenomenon in nature. It is a strong electric discharge phenomenon between clouds and ground, or between clouds and clouds. I believe everyone has seen it, but when you look up at those ultra-long lightning that stretches for hundreds of kilometers At that time, I still felt extremely spectacular and mysterious, as if the sky was cracking.
But the more mysterious is ball-shaped lightning , a ball-shaped lightning that actually exists in nature, but it is extremely rare and regarded as a supernatural phenomenon by scientists. As of today, only a few cases have been captured in the world, and in 2020 In 1991, Chinese scientists successfully caught one case, and for a while, it once again aroused people's curiosity.
The ball lightning can not only move freely, but also has the ability to penetrate walls and enter the room through the hole in the door lock. The ball lightning is so strange that by the 20th century, scientists still knew nothing about it, but now, Some physicists have proposed a new insight, which may come from different dimensions.
The earliest record of ball lightning can be traced back to 1031 AD. The "Mengxi Bi Tan" compiled by the Song Dynasty Shen Kuo mentioned ball lightning: in the west room of the hall, thunder and fire came out from the window, and the eaves were impressive. I thought that the hall had been burned, so they all escaped. And Leizhi, his house is literally, and the walls and windows are all Qianlong.
Abroad, the ancient Greeks also have records of ball lightning. They reported that they saw a small plasma ball that was very bright and hovered on the ground before disappearing. In 1902, at the Georges du Loupe Hotel near Nice, France, someone observed a path of the arrival of a ball lightning. According to witness descriptions, the diameter of the ball lightning generally ranges from 15 to 40 cm, and the colors are yellow, purple, and blue. , White, green, orange, red.
Now out of personal interest, Aiello, a theoretical physicist at the Max Planck Institute of Light Science, has a keen interest in the phenomenon of spherical lightning, because he saw it with his own eyes when he was a child.
Ai Luo’s memories
In the spring of more than 30 years ago, only teenager Ai Luo and his sister were playing together at home. It was under a thunderstorm outside. They were playing with unplugged cables in the room. Suddenly, they A ball of light the size of a football appeared in front of him, only a few meters away. The
light ball has no noise, no smell, and no heating. After a few seconds, it disappeared. At that time, Ai Luo just started high school, but there was no science at all in the high school course. Many years later, Ai Luo realized that the ball of light he saw as a child was actually a ball lightning.
Ai Luo believes that ball lightning may come from the five-dimensional space
Although scientists have provided many hypotheses for the formation of ball lightning, Ai Luo now believes that ball lightning may come from the fifth dimension space, which can be explained by digital geometry. However, he emphasized that this additional dimension has nothing to do with the field of science fiction, because string theory believes that the universe in which humans live may be a D3 membrane in 9+1 dimensional spacetime.
From the perspective of geometry , lightning is actually a cylinder connecting the sky and the ground. If we cross the cylinder, then the cross section of the cylinder is only a circle. In other words, a three-dimensional cylinder is a circle in two-dimensional space.
So if lightning in five-dimensional space appears in three-dimensional space, what is its cross-section shape? Ailuo thinks it might be a spherical shape, which means that if a cylindrical lightning in a five-dimensional space gets a three-dimensional space, then it looks spherical.
Ai Luo's five-dimensional space lightning theory raises doubts
Although Ai Luo's Ai Luo's five-dimensional space lightning theory provides new insights into ball lightning, the five-dimensional space explanation may be more tempting to us, but it has been met by many fellow scientists. Doubt, because ball lightning is not his professional research field.
three-dimensional space is a space composed of three dimensions of length, width and height, four-dimensional space is composed of three space dimensions and one time dimensionThe five-dimensional space is an abstract term that often appears in science. It is the unity of time, space, and hierarchy. It means that time and space can be switched freely. Whether the five-dimensional space actually exists remains to be verified.
Summary
Although humans have studied ball lightning for more than centuries, ball lightning is still a natural phenomenon that has not yet been revealed. The mechanism is still unclear.
However, it should be impossible to say that it comes from a five-dimensional space, because the existence of a five-dimensional space is still an unknown number, it only exists in our thinking. What do you think of this?
