An Adventure to Guoker Planet

Chapter 8 - A Conversation about the Flying Saucer During Our Ride(2/4)

"The reason behind this is that all objects in the universe have a rest momentum

mass multiplied by the vector speed of light6 , and the rest momentum is conserved.

"When the velocity part of the rest momentum is zero7, the mass part becomes infinite. We dislike the infinity. If the infinity that we dislike does not appear, there is another possibility - the rest mass is zero.

"You Earthlings recognize the rest energy in the theory of relativity, but you do not realize that the source of rest energy is rest momentum.”

I seemed to understand a bit and asked, "So, your UFOs can travel at the speed of light. In the books on Earth, it’s said that the distance between most stars and us is measured in light-years, which means traveling at the speed of light would still take years. How do you say it only takes a few hours to reach your planet? Are you very close to us, always hiding nearby?"

"When an object moves at the speed of light, the length of space in its direction of movement shrinks to zero," Norton’s words surprised me.

Suldair added, "It’s like what people on Earth say, ‘Far in the sky, yet close

before your eyes8.’"

"When the spatial length in the direction of motion is zero, wouldn’t your flying saucers not require any time to travel at the speed of light? Then why do you say it takes several hours for your flying saucers to return to your planet?"

"For instance, a flying saucer with a mass of 450 tons (the exact number is

P_rest=m’C’, where m’ is the rest mass, which is different from the mass m during motion. C’ is the vector speed of light in the space around an object when it is stationary. Its direction is different from the vector speed C of light around the object when it is moving at a speed V, but its modulus remains the same, both are scalar light speed c.

forgotten) needs time for the process of its mass decreasing from 450 tons to zero at takeoff, which is called transitioning the spacetime state. Similarly, the process of its mass returning from zero to 450 tons upon landing also requires time.

In fact, when the flying saucer is on our planet, it first uses external electrical or field energy to reduce its mass to a very minute amount, such as 0.450 grams, reaching a near-excited state. At takeoff, the flying saucer uses its own energy to reduce its mass from 0.450 grams to zero. Once its mass reaches zero, it enters an excited state and starts moving at the speed of light without needing any additional force applied.

When the flying saucer arrives at your planet, its mass is not changed back to 450 tons but to a very small amount, to save energy. This is because changing the mass of the flying saucer and transitioning to the spacetime state requires a significant amount of energy, and the flying saucer itself cannot carry too much energy.

The energy equation of the flying saucer is its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light. From this equation, it’s evident that changing the mass of the flying saucer requires a tremendous amount of energy," Norton explained.

"When there’s a thin gas in front of the spacecraft, we can use the field generated by the flying saucer to transition the spacetime state of the gas, making its mass zero as well, thus preventing any interaction with our spacecraft. Two objects with zero mass can pass through each other without any interactive forces.

This way, our spacecraft can pass through without any effect on us. Or we can use the field generated by the flying saucer to directly push the gas away. Since the nature of the field is an intangible material moving in a cylindrical spiral through space, it doesn’t produce sound when it interacts with air. Both methods allow the flying saucer to fly through the air without any noise.

However, if we encounter a planet, we cannot reduce the entire planet’s mass to zero or transition its entire spacetime state due to the massive amount of energy required.

We can only avoid the planet. Avoiding the planet requires changing states. If our flying saucer encounters no planets in its path, the only time required is for its mass to change to zero at takeoff. Upon reaching a planet, changing the

mass from zero back to a small amount upon landing requires time, while mid-flight does not require time. The hours spent in flight are mainly for transitioning spacetime states to avoid planets."

Sudair said, "According to the theory of relativity on your planet, if we assume our planet is 50 light-years away from Earth, a flying saucer departing from our planet to yours and immediately returning would be perceived by people on both our planet and yours as taking 100 years. However, the passengers inside the flying saucer would feel the round trip only took a few hours."

"Is this true? If it is, then the people on your planet also have to wait a long time for your return. A trip to Earth wouldn’t be easy," I said.

"In reality, we also need to consider the difference in the passage of time between our planet and yours; the rate at which time passes varies across different planets in the universe.
