As far as I know, very little study was done on what came to be known as the echo of the Big Bang. When detected, the hum which emanates from everywhere in the universe was identified as the radiation left behind following the explosion that created the universe. Researchers talked about it in relation to other subjects but did little to put it under the experimental knife, so to speak.
That must
change now, and thorough experiments must be conducted on the subject because
even if they fail to yield the expected results, we shall learn from them an
enormous amount of knowledge about ourselves and the place we occupy in the
universe.
We can
make the Big Bang speak to us, and possibly yield two secrets by treating its
echo as a wave and also a particle. What we need to do first, is recall how the
vacuum tube (a diode then a triode) was used to turn invisible waves and
inaudible sounds into the loud and clear messages that modernity cannot live
without when it comes to being informed and entertained. Here is how the vacuum
tube works:
A heated
electrode called cathode is connected to the negative terminal of a power
supply. It produces the electrons which are attracted by the other electrode in
the tube, called the anode. This one is electrically neutral by design, but the
fact that it is in a circuit connected to the positive side of the power supply,
makes it attract the electrons emitted by the cathode.
Having
only two terminals, this contraption is called a diode. Its function is to let
the current go in one direction inside the vacuum tube (from cathode to anode)
but not in the other direction. A third electrode was then added to the
contraption, transforming it from being a diode into a triode.
The new
electrode which is actually a grid, is placed between the other two. It serves
as a screen that plays the role of filter. It lets the electrons move from
cathode to anode but not without being intercepted by the grid. This makes it possible
for a small electrical change applied to the grid to produce an identical
change in the big cathode-to-anode current. This operation is called
modulation, and it is how amplification is obtained.
I
believe that building and using a similar contraption while adding to it some
modifications—and using it in the reverse manner that we use the vacuum tube—we
can detect the de Broglie wave-matter that’s produced by a magnet here on Earth.
We can then compare that wave with the echo we’re getting from the Big Bang.
But whatever the result, this should yield a wealth of information, so here in
practical terms, is what we should do:
First
and foremost, we need a place that’s protected against electromagnetic and
other radiation that may interfere with the experiment. A depleted and
abandoned mine will do just fine. In a strong and permanently magnetized bar or
an electromagnet, we use a grid to intercept the magnetic field that it
produces. The idea is to interfere as little as possible with the flow of
whatever the field is made of (electrical, magnetic or wave-like) while
capturing enough of it to compare against the echo of the Big Bang. Whatever
the result that’s shown by a dual-trace oscilloscope, it will be of enormous
value to the current researchers as well as future ones.
To
verify the assumption that a swinging pendulum produces particles that can
physically move a nearby pendulum, we replace the grid intercepting the field
produced by the magnetic bar with a sheet that’s made of a very light material.
This is to see if there exists a de Broglie wind that can physically move the
sheet. If this happens, it will explain the sympathy oscillation of the nearby
pendulum.
If that will be the case, and if we find that the echo of the Big Bang looks almost identical to the assumed de Broglie wave produced by the bar’s magnetic field, we shall claim that nature has strewn ears throughout the universe to converse with us from everywhere in space and everywhen in time.
