Hawking once proposed an idea to develop an aircraft with a light sail, which would be accelerated by a laser and fly to the "hometown of Trisolarans" - Alpha Centauri, to explore whether it is suitable for human survival. Looking at a box of dried and wrinkled passion fruits, Xu Fan, a professor at the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Fudan University, suddenly had an idea: Can a model be used to predict and control the wrinkles of the cosmic light sail film? Otherwise, the direction of laser reflection will cause irregular changes, causing the aircraft to deviate from the route. Even Xu Fan himself felt that it would be difficult to apply for scientific research funding for this idea, so he kept it buried in his mind for five years. Until two years ago, Shanghai took the lead in piloting the "Basic Research Special Zone" in the country. He tried to apply, but to his surprise, not only was he selected, but he also received the largest single funding since he started doing scientific research. Why are seemingly fanciful ideas so popular? Base
