What the Ʃi???
One fine morning some 2,500 years ago, the Greek philosopher Democritus was waiting for a meal when the smell of baking bread wafted from the kitchen to his nostrils. Democritus postulated that although the bread was far away, small parts of that bread crossed the distance to reach his nose.
Democritus went on to imagine a very sharp knife that would cut the bread in tinier and tinier pieces of matter down to a piece that could no longer be cut. He called this the Atomos – that which cannot be divided: the building blocks of our universe.
In 1803 AD, John Dalton formulated his Atomic Theory, and prematurely called the tiny creature at its center Atomos. (While scientists would later learn that atoms could be further divided into a collection of particles, we still erroneously use the word “atom.”)
The quest for finding the Atomos rages on. It is the Grail of all scientific endeavor. For the time being our physicists have been able to divide matter down to quarks, leptons, and bosons, which are even smaller chunks of matter that form the atoms that form us humans. Yet, it doesn’t look like we’ve made it to the undividable building block at this time, and the road might still be very long.
In some forty-three thousand years from now, in the first chapter of The Cell, the Ʃi makes its very first appearance in literature. This Ʃi – pronounced eye – is the Atomos of Democritus, the smallest thing ever to exist. Known as “zero’s shadow,” this creature is so small and light that nothing can divide it. In the novel the Ʃi is a combination of immaterial information.
You can discover more details about the nature of the Ʃi in future chapters. However, in the first chapter of The Cell, Luna and her team have mastered the handling of Ʃis and gathered enough of them to create their own miniature black hole, the GZS probe, that they sent to the core of Sagittarius A*, our galaxy’s center black hole, to retrieve the history of the universe…
