简并物质(Degenerate matter)是密度极高的物质。这是由于包利不相容原理(Pauli exclusion principle)妨碍组成粒子占有相同量子态,强迫许多粒子进入高能量子态,而显示简并压力,使密度增大。简并物质有:白矮星,中子星,奇异物质,金属氢和黑洞等。
但他们也并不需要从一颗真正的中子星表面挖来一块中子星简并物质。
But they didn't have to scoop a chunk of neutron degenerate matter from the surface of a real neutron star either.
但最好的事情莫过于他们不必真的制造出中子简并物质本身,只要把一些锂- 6气体冷却到接近绝对零度,然后把它们抓到激光阱并使之振动即可。
But the best thing is that they don't have to actually create neutron degenerate matter itself, just cool some lithium-6 gas to nearly absolute zero, grab it inside a laser trap and make it wobble.
我收到一个家伙写来的信,是关于我写的一集Doctor Who剧本,跟超压缩物质、简并态物质和引力场的关系。
'I had a letter from a guy about something I'd written in a Doctor Who script, to do with super-compressed matter, degenerate matter and gravitational fields.
