Reconstruction of ice

We continue the publication of the heads of the dedicated cosmology of the book “Breakthrough over the World” beyond the authorship of Boris Stern . Two numbers ago, an interview with Andrei Linda from the same book was published, last year - the head of Fred Hoyle. The first two chapters were published in the Russian Reporter. This time we publish the chapter from the side story: the history of knowledge of the world by European Paths - intelligent creatures living under the ice in the ocean of the satellite of Jupiter of Europe. According to the author, this storyline demonstrates amazing opportunities that scientific methodology gives even to those who are in the most unfavorable conditions. In the previous chapters, the European Paths reach the ice sky, find that they live under tremendous pressure, evaluate the thickness of the ice, find out that their world is a rotating ball, that it is illuminated outside the external source and moves in orbit in the gravitational field of a large attorney, which is thousands of times surpassing their world. In this chapter, the European parties are discovered by the remaining three Galileo satellites using a slightly reminiscent of our studies of the early universe using relict radiation. At the same time, as a lyrical digression, a crisis of European civilization is described. The insightful reader, after reading the published passage, will be able to guess what European Paths will do in the following chapters. The book is published by the Trinity Option itself and is already in the printing house. Exit - June 15. The first sale will probably be held at a conference on the 100th anniversary of Zeldovich in Iki (early June 16).

Here we need to take a breath and return to European Parties with their scientific problems that we, living on a planet with a transparent atmosphere, seem completely simple. They do not seem simple out of ice.

Deprived of the opportunity to see outside the nearest hundreds of meters, European Pians tried to feel the surrounding space through the ice shell through the shell itself. For this, an expensive and prolonged experiment called "Second Bid" was undertaken. He continued the last experiment “Heavenly Breath”, which revealed the existence of a large attorrator of a huge mass around which the world turns.

A lot of time passed between these experiments, one might say, the abyss, more precisely, the crisis of civilization. The era of satisfaction ordered to live long thanks to the transition through a critical point predicted by the mathematician Hurum Braz.

The theory was simple to obviously. The infrastructure of civilization turns and requires regular repairs. The elements of the infrastructure are interconnected, and one breakdown entails a chain reaction of malfunctions for a failure. Usually everything goes well, since the infrastructure is repaired and modernized. This continues until there are enough specialists who are able to repair and modernize. It would seem that these experts should not be transferred even in the era of satisfaction, since there are detailed written instructions and rules that you can learn the last idiot. However, accidents and breakdowns are both full -time, stipulated by the instructions, and abnormalities, when the only salvation is a specialist who can independently make decisions in an unfamiliar situation. Hurum Braz showed on abundant statistical material that the share of such emergency breakdowns is about five percent.

But the main merit of Hurum Braza was his theorem about the critical number of specialists who were able to act outside the framework of instructions. As soon as the share of the latter falls below 8.2%, the number of malfunctions begins to grow avalanialy in exponent. Soon, over the final time (according to Khurum Braz-for one generation), a complete collapse of civilization and the pace of accidents and breakdowns falls to zero due to the disappearance of the subject of malfunctions. At the same time, the formation of the era of satisfaction led to a systematic decrease in the number of European, capable of thinking independently, which was recognized even by opponents of Hurum Braz. This ability did not correspond to the spirit of time and was recognized as ideologists of the era of excessive, or even harmful.

And yet the mathematician was mistaken. He believed that the critical point would be passed through half a half, while in fact it was already passed at the time of publication of his article. In addition, the achievements of the collapse turned out to be twice as shorter than predicted. Thus, Khurum Braz got the opportunity to personally observe the triumph of his theory in all details, such as panic buying products, robberies, hunger in cities, reprisals against the rulers. The civilization finally collapsed when the last power plants on the geyser jets stopped-the fasteners of turbines due to corrosion and vibration, the windings of the generators leaked.

However, then it happened that the scientist did not predict, since this was already beyond his competence. Civilization has shown amazing survivability. Shock made many European wake up - they were surprised to find that the information made in school was not just verbal spells. Sometimes they, being applied to the surrounding reality, help to survive. Former cogs of civilization, facing face to face with the real world, were forced to study through blood and sweat, comprehending the knowledge obtained by their ancestors. Then this phenomenon will be called "shock pedagogy."

The swiftness of the crisis turned into a quick recovery. So the countries destroyed by the war quickly get out of the ruins, and the slowly degrading civilizations are vegetated in the darkness for centuries. Former engineers and teachers mastered the cultivation of bottom mollusks and nutrient plants on the surface of self -seized shreds. Soon, spontaneous self-organization began, the division of labor, and so on, which already passed, only hundreds of times faster.

Once a large brigade of strong Europian gathered, which did what seemed impossible. They, with the help of gates, ropes, rollers, Poluzhev with an old leverage song (“Break, break the jymor to the wood, the jimurs of the day! It is bending, bastards bent, jimurs of a lot!” Etp), etc.) put a turbine that was lying nearby, framing a powerful gerama stream. And when, having fixed it with surviving studs, they lowered the bolt of the idle issue, the turbine, having at first a disgusting rattle, spitting out the cloud of turbidity, became in motion and began to pacem. Then the generator windings were restored, soaking them according to the prescription of the ancestors with resin of black stlanic, and the generator earned. Finally, they revived the hydrolysis installation, which gave the first post -crisis fuel. And the first rifle, a former medium -hearted container ship named “indomitable”, being repaired and tucked, went to a triumphant cruise for the revived ruins.

On the way to the settlements, he was met by flocks of stray ulzins-at first emitting a frightened-aggressive crack and pouring crimson in red glow. Then, realizing that the monster does not pay attention to them, the curious Ulzeni cautiously swam. Finally, as if remembering how their ancestors met the rifles, they began to joyfully rush around with a jerky squeal, sparkling with green flashes.

The amazed settlers arose from the darkness, glowing pale blue. Half of them saw a live rifle for the first time. After hearing the parliamentarians, they tried to ask the team the most delicious mollusks and escorted the ship, sharply pulling up the limbs and flashing with blue light, which meant the highest degree of cordiality in the wishes of a happy path.

The “indomitable”, leaving with the escort of exciting sparkling ulzins, reserved settlements infected with hope that turns into confidence: they can also, they will succeed - there will be a wretched existence, there will be energy, fuel, bright light, medicines, communication from looters - they will do all this themselves, with their hands and united.

The restoration has gone in a chain reaction mode from the “indomitable” cruise. Civilization was revived in a new quality. Her heroes were no longer the stars of the media, but the creators. As soon as the restoration of the industry began, they took up science. It also had to be restored from the ruins, but, fortunately, something has been preserved. Pupils of pre -crisis scientists who absorbing knowledge and skills in conditions close to underground have been preserved. Even in a clear mind, even some of those scientists who made a name before the crisis survived and in a clear mind. There were units, they were very old, but appreciated with its weight in gold.

One of the first large scientific projects was the experiment “Second Binding”. It was as follows.

Several so -called “squeaks” - acoustic stations with parabolic plates, sending sound rays in different directions were attached to the sky at different latitudes. The emitters were signed from generators with a stable frequency, and the signal was simultaneously transmitted down the cable, so that the receivers at the bottom could easily record the phase of the acoustic signal, determining the displacement with an accuracy of one claw. And not only vertical displacements, but also horizontal. Of course, the accuracy in the claw was purely theoretical, the convective trends have practically spoiled the picture. They tried to measure and take them into account, as a result, the accuracy was twenty claws for horizontal and ten claws for vertical ice movements.

But the goal was not even in these claws. She was in the search for periodic displacements. The convection did not harm so much - the periodic signal is very well pulled out of interference during a large observation time.

The first discovery was that the ice shell of the world made daily rotational fluctuations back and forth relative to the bottom. Small fluctuations, just in the plane of the equator. Everything was clear here. Due to the small elongation of the orbit, the world was slightly turning relative to the direction to a large attorney. Due to the elongation of the world itself, the power of gravity sought to turn it a little back, and the torque was more affected by the ice shell than on the bowels. So they appreciated the eccentricity of the orbit - 0.009.

The next achievement was the measurement of the mass of a large attorrator. As mentioned above, for this it was necessary to measure the difference in allertical breathing at opposite points in the world. The mass of the attorrator was equal to 40 thousand mass of the world, and the distance to it is 200 with a small diameter of the world. These were amazing, but expected discoveries.

The unexpected discovery was buried in the harmonious decomposition of the movements of the ice shell. With the announcement of the results, they pulled to the time when rumors crawled, threatening to negate the entire pompous of the event. Finally, it was decided to hold the announcement ceremony not as a press conference, but as a scientific seminar, but with an invited press and a direct broadcast.

The audience had the form of a dome with which the rods hung for the equipment of journalists and for the “mooring” of the older scientists, who already had problems with the autonomic regulation of buoyancy - there were several cases when the fellow patriarchs of science slowly lowered to the floor, which served as a screen, and woke up, twitting and crying out, in the rays in the rays projector. The public younger huddle hung freely under the dome, occasionally rebuilt so as not to block each other's screen.

The seminar was opened by a high-ranking official-it is always very difficult to evade this when it smells of something important. Fortunately, his magnificent speech was short, and he conveyed the floor to the head of the project. He without a preface displayed a graph to the screen, where, slightly trembling, two crooked curves walked, describing a high narrow peak in the middle of the picture.

- What about the axes?! -cried out from under the dome before the speaker managed to make the first sound.

- Here is the result of the harmonious decomposition of the movements of the ice sky. Horizontal - the frequency in reverse gyroscope days, vertically - a square of the harmonic decomposition coefficient. This is called the "harmonic spectrum of power." Black curve-equatorial fashion, blue-vertical, that is, displacement of the surface up and down. This well -known peak per unit reflects our orbital movement around a large attorrator, in other words, gyroscope days. In the future, I will lower the adjective “gyroscope”, which is nothing more than a tribute to history. There is a day for a day.

Let me remind you that this peak is what has long been known as "breathing".

Now we go to higher frequencies (the curve and numbers on the axis ran to the left). Here. We will increase the vertical scale. Look, what a wonderful diet! The period is exactly half a day!

- And what about that? This is just the second harmonic of the daily peak, ”the voice was breaking out from above.

- Of course, the second harmonica, but is it harmonica, what should it be? We are well able to consider breathing and his harmonics. And here is what we counted: dotted curves. This is the reconstruction of how the second harmonic should look for the rotation of our world in a slightly elongated orbit around the attorrator. The dashedrs are noticeably lower. That is, the amplitude of the semi -dry peak is greater than the second harmonic should have. But if with the amplitude it can still be assumed that we were mistaken, then it is impossible to make a mistake in the ratio of the equatorial and vertical mod. And here it is different! Equatorial fashion is more expressed. This means that in this peak really besides the second harmonic, there is something else. And this is something ... - the speaker raised two limbs, which meant "the most important thing will happen now!" - This is perfectly described by a double of the world moving around the attorrator in orbit of a smaller radius with a period of exactly half a day! - Noise in the audience.

- Why on earth did his period be exactly half as much?

- On the way that there is a resonance of Khruam Mzeny and here is all the conditions for him. By the way, the resonance does not have to be 1/2. The ratio of the periods of orbit can be any fraction - 2/3 or 3/5, for example. Resonance 1/2 is the strongest, of course.

- By the way, I described this resonance 5 periods earlier than Khruam Mzeny, why does no one mention me? - There was a voice from the bar.

- Do you mean your article about the movement of two bodies in the central field with indignation? Read. Well, there is nothing about resonance there. The formulas are correct and a lot. But there is nothing about resonance.

- And it is necessary to understand the formulas better - everything follows from them!

“Do you want the reader to finish your work and draw a conclusion that you yourself do not think of?” And so that you are still awarded priority? Khruami Mzen clearly and clearly laid out on the shelves ...
(The presiding judge interrupts the discussion, offering to finish it on the sidelines.)

- So, move on. So, the mass of this double is a little more than the mass of our world. It moves in the same plane, since there is a strong equatorial fashion, but there is no meridional one at all. Now we go the other way (curves run to the right), increase the vertical scale. Here! A nice diet, the period - almost exactly two days. There can be no half harmony here! Another world in a larger orbit! Again almost in resonance with ours. This one will be more heavier than our times, -Sum in the audience. - There is no meridional fashion again.

But that's not all. Let's get back to the main peak. Here, to the right of the peak, something seems to be there too. We will increase the scale. You see a hillock - it is almost statistically significant. The frequency of more than twenty percent is less than that of the main peak - there is obviously no harmonic. It is necessary to continue the measurements, and if this detail is confirmed, then there is the fourth world with the period of circulation of 4.7 days.

So, we have a system of at least three, and probably from the four worlds rotating around a large attorrator in one plane. Our world is the second and, apparently, the smallest. Throughout the long history of civilization, it was believed that it embraces everything that exists. Now we know his real place. But we know not to the end. There is also an external source around which the same systems probably rotate. But we can only guess about this. Just guess - until the ice is drilling.

Moreover. Now we know the answer to another question. Why is our world warm? Where does the energy of erupting volcanoes come from? It seems that the answer was already known: due to the fact that the orbit of the world is slightly elongated, so under the gravity of the attorrator the world breathes, which is why heated from the inside. This is so, but why does the world have a long orbit for a long time? Indeed, due to friction caused by breathing of the bowels, the orbit should become exactly circular over time. Our world is very ancient, judging by the fact that a significant part of Uranus in crystals managed to turn into lead. Its age is many times higher than the time for which the orbit would have become exactly circular, and the world would have frozen. Now we know why this did not happen: the three worlds, who are addressing in resonance, swing each other's orbits, do not allow them to become circular.

Are there any questions?

- Can there be a life similar to ours?

- To answer this question, you need to know how elongated by their orbits. It depends on this how much heat is released in their bowels. If everyone has an eccentricity is the same as the world, then the subsoil should be melted on the first, there should be a lot of eruptions. Непонятно, может ли он быть покрыт при этом водой. Скорей всего, нет. Третий и тем более четвертый миры греются слишком слабо. Там, вероятно, только лед и скальные недра, без жидкой воды. Но это если эксцентриситеты орбит одинаковые.

— Ты сказал «пока не пробурим лед». А это в принципе осуществимо?

— Появилась надежда. В северо-западном секторе есть мощный вулкан, который извергался десять-пятнадцать периодов назад. Как оказалось, над ним на небе протаял лед и образовался купол. При этом главное не то, что бурить меньше, а то, что в куполе скопилась смесь метана с этаном. Они не замерзают даже при той температуре, которая должна быть у наружной поверхности льда. Значит, проблема замерзания скважины снимается. Но задача остается чудовищно сложной.

Председатель предложил поблагодарить докладчика. Раздалось синхронное гуканье, означавшее на языке европиан аплодисменты. Вдруг гуканье резко усилилось, переходя на более высокий тон, что соответствует бурной овации. Докладчик, не понимая, в чем дело, обернулся: в свете проектора медленно опускался, открывая глаза и тряся головой, Хруам Мзень собственной персоной. Видимо, он пристегнулся мимо штанги. Однако патриарх не растерялся и, окончательно проснувшись, выгнул две пары противоположных конечностей так, что они образовали восьмерку. Это означало выражение бесконечной признательности.
