The Martial Unity

Chapter 3543: Connected

“In fact,” the Esoterist continued, “we know that this planet must have had a constant increase in the amount of negatron matter within its core due to the fact that this planet would have been torn apart if it didn’t.”

After all, the negatron core was repelling the rest of the planet away from it. If it was too strong, then it would completely overwhelm gravity and destroy the planet.

“Clearly, the planet has not been destroyed, thus we can assume that the negatron core must have remained proportional to the mass of the planet so that the gravitational force did not vary too much,” the Esoterist continued. “This suggests that the presence of negatron matter within our planet is likely the result of a dynamic process rather than a one-time cosmic miracle.”

The screen shifted, projecting a three-dimensional hologram midair of a GIF of the planet growing larger over the span of many, many thousands of years.

The planet grew larger and larger, gaining both more negatron and normal matter as the two countered each other, ensuring that gravity on Gaia did not change even though the planet became astronomically larger than it was before.

“This largely questions the Xenological Origin Hypothesis of the negatron matter that has been put forth for the origin of negatron matter,” the Esoterist claimed with a serious expression. “After all, the Xenological Origin Hypothesis state that the negatron matter that we see at the very bottom of the ocean came from afar in a meteorite and crashed into what is now the ocean floor of the Great Void Ocean. This is incompatible with the insights that we now have that the amount of negatron matter inside our planet could not have remained constant and must have grown at a linear rate.”

Something that wasn’t possible with a single one-time delivery of negatron matter.

“Either something has been periodically delivering negatron matter to our planet every year, which I like to think that we would have noticed, or somehow the amount of negatron matter in the core is constantly increasing through some process that we don’t understand for reasons that we don’t understand,” the Esoterist continued with a serious tone. “Most likely the natural origin hypothesis has at least some truth to it that there is likely something within our planet that is naturally causing the amount of negatron matter within it to increase along with some inexplicable increase in the mass of the planet.”

After all, if the expansion of the planet was caused by just rising negatron matter pushing the rest of the planet outwards like a balloon, then the gravity of the planet would reduce over time due to a growing radius and an increasing amount of negatron matter, which repelled everything.

“Thus, not only can we conclude that there is a core of negatron matter that accounts for the disparity in gravity, but we can also assume that both matter and negatron matter have been consistently increasing within Gaia to cancel each other out,” the Esoterist continued. “Thus, I hypothesize the Dual Matter Generation Hypothesis, which states that some quantum or cosmic process is increasing both the amount of negatron and ordinary matter within our planet over a long period of time.”

His words altered their worldview on the perspective of the planet even more. While the scientists of the true world were highly brilliant, the insights of the Esoterist had proven to be beyond even their fathoming. The Immortal Sages were not as dominant in their fields in the true world as they were within Gaia, but they were still at the very top nonetheless.

More importantly, his discoveries, scientific theory, and derived hypotheses were stunning.

It painted a truly exotic picture of Gaia. She was not an ordinary planet but instead some exotic negatron chamber of sorts for reasons people could not fathom.

“I also suspect that this Dual Matter Generation Hypothesis has something to do with the esoteric matter that is present within the Panama Continent,” the Esoterist continued. “It might be that the exotic matter present in our continent is responsible for triggering the dual matter generation process that is causing the expansion of the planet without changes in gravity. For now, we don’t know much more. We will have to conduct more tests try to verify this truth by deploying some kind of probe into the depths of the planet to confirm the Negatron Core Theory that I have proposed. We might even be able to confirm the cause by doing so, but…”

His expression grew more serious. “This is extremely difficult for obvious reasons. The gravitational pull from the astronomical planet and the immense push from the negatron core will likely cause an astronomical level of compressive pressure that not even pathwalkers can withstand. The journey is extremely long, not to mention. It will be very difficult to confirm this. And, as I’m sure you all know, all funds have been redirected to the negatron mines at the very bottom of the ocean.”

Each of the scientists had experienced the radical changes in allocation of research and development budgets, shifting it from research and development of other topics to that of aquatic mining.

“And my final conjecture to offer is…” His eyes sharpened, “…that the Epoch of Evolution more than 187,000 years ago may have something to do with the Negatron Core Theory and the Dual Matter Generation Hypothesis. It might be that the event that caused the Age of Tumult of extreme environmental conditions, which forced all of your ancestors to undergo extreme evolution on six continents, birthing six different species, is connected to the discovery of negatron matter within the planet. This is merely conjecture with no evidence, unlike my early hypothesis and scientific theory. But…”

He counted with his fingers. “The Epoch of Evolution. The Disappearance and Return of the Lost Continent. The esoteric matter within it. The expansion of the planet. The gravitational anomaly. And the negatron mines at the bottom of the Great Void Ocean… I believe all of these things are connected.”

His voice was solemn.

His eyes were serious.

“They are connected in a manner beyond our wildest fathoming.”
