扯淡生命史（2024）

太好了
Great.
很好 - 谢谢
Brilliant. - Thank you.
对
Yeah.
后续预告...
Still to come...
电脑能够重新编码生命的意义？
Will computers recode the meaning of life?
以后有可能支持 我们把灵魂上传到电脑上？
Will we ever be able to upload our souls to a computer?
我近距离观察克隆
I take a closer look at cloning.
如果要克隆双胞胎
If you clone twins,
是拿其中一个克隆两份
do you get two copies of one of them, or one copy of both of them?
还是两个分别克隆一？
布莱恩·考克斯给出苍穹的科学观点
Brian Cox gives a scientific view of the firmament.
晚上也让星星亮着 不会浪费能源？
Isn't it a waste of energy leaving the stars on at night?
不会
No.
但首先 是时候思考我们 在一个无情、无神的宇宙中的命运了
But first, time to contemplate our fate in a pitiless, godless universe.
上帝已死 存在主义的绝望日益盛行
With God dead and existential despair all the rage,
人类在宇宙中似乎很孤独
it seemed humankind was all alone in the universe.
我们又回到了原点
We were back to square one,
凝望着夜空 思考是怎么来到这里的
staring up at the night sky and wondering how it got there.
为了找到答案 我们要重启史上最重大的悬案
To find out, we'd have to reopen the biggest cold case of all time.
(终章 新的希望)
《圣经》称 宇宙是上帝创造的
The Bible had claimed the universe was God's creation.
但现在我们知道 那是骗人的
But now we knew that that was a lie,
我们必须再想出一个新的 难以置信的理论
we'd have to come up with a new implausible theory.
在1923年10月5日
It's October 5th, 1923.
天文学家埃德温·哈勃 即将揭开惊人的发现
An astronomer, Edwin Hubble, is about to make an incredible discovery.
他通过使用望远镜观察
Peering through his telescope, he becomes the first human
成为观察到我们星系以外的星系中 一颗造父变星的史上第一人
to observe a Cepheid variable star in a galaxy beyond our own.
哈勃跑回家告诉他妻子格蕾丝
Hubble raced home to tell his wife, Grace,
妻子在他整个职业生涯一直坚定支持
who had loyally supported him throughout his career.
他哭着说:“我成功了!” 是用他的声音说 不是我的声音
"I've done it!" he cried. But in his voice instead of mine.
“我基本上已经改变了 人类对宇宙的看法”
"I've fundamentally altered our concept of the universe."
她回答:“亲爱的 太好了”
"Oh, darling, that's wonderful," she replied.
她的眼睛闪耀着骄傲的光芒 他们拥抱在一起
Her eyes shone with pride, and they embraced.
当他们如饥似渴地接吻 这种兴奋逐渐被激♥情♥取代
As they kissed hungrily, their excitement gave way to passion,
他们移♥动♥到了卧室 匆忙脱掉衣服
and they moved to the bedroom, hurriedly shedding their clothes.
两个人肉体相压
Flesh pressed on flesh
肉体尽情放纵 探索彼此的身体
as they explored each other's bodies with carnal abandon.
他们一起稳步走向狂喜的高♥潮♥
Together, they steadily built towards a crescendo of ecstasy,
他们的脸因幸福而扭曲
their faces contorting with bliss.
两个人同时高♥潮♥ 两个人的身体不禁颤抖
And a mutual orgasm shuddered through their bodies.
他们静静地缠绕着身体躺一起
There they lay, quietly entwined,
精疲力尽 但在他们结合的 温暖余晖中闪闪发光
exhausted yet resplendent in the warm afterglow of their union.
然后哈勃用他的背心 把潮湿的地方擦干净
Then Hubble mopped up the damp patch with his vest.
哈勃的发现 为宇宙形成的开创性理论
Hubble's discovery paved the way for a groundbreaking theory
打下了基础
about how our universe was formed,
这个理论直到今天 仍然让书呆子们兴奋
a theory that still excites nerds to this day.
为什么大家说 宇宙是由大包扎产生？
Why do people say the universe came out of a big bag?
你说的应该是大爆♥炸♥
I think you mean Big Bang.
包扎也能爆？
A big bag that went bang?
不是 大爆♥炸♥ 跟包扎没关系
No, no. Just a Big Bang, no bag.
有人承认过 这次大爆♥炸♥是自己造成的？
Has anyone ever claimed responsibility for the Big Bang?
就是直接发生了
It just happened.
所以根本没办法找到罪魁祸首了
So we're no nearer finding a culprit.
大爆♥炸♥是一种理论
The Big Bang is a theory,
像所有理论一样 正常人无法理解
and like all theories, no one understands it.
如果谁距离答案太近了 就会被中♥央♥情报局暗♥杀♥
If they come too close to working it out, they're assassinated by the CIA.
但如果真的发生过这件事
But if it did happen,
大爆♥炸♥让宇宙中充满了物质
the Big Bang filled the universe with matter.
这是一个原子
This is an atom.
太小了
It's so tiny
你们可能看不到 就算用超清屏幕观看 也看不到
you probably can't see it, even if you're watching in 4K.
其实 因为太小了
In fact, it's so small,
可能在开始拍摄前就掉在地上了
chances are I dropped it before we started filming.
你、我、我们周遭的一切 都是这种东西组成的
You, me, and everything around us is made from these,
除了这个外套 这个是100%羊绒
apart from this coat, which is 100% cashmere.
原子有什么意？
What's the point of atoms?
我们真的需要原子？还是没有也？
Do we really need them, or could we just do without?
我们确实需要原子 因为我们就是由原子组成的
We do really need them because we are made of atoms.
世界上的一切都是由原子组成的 没有原子 我们也无法存在
Everything in the world is made of atoms so without them, we wouldn't be here.
眼睛是由原子组成的？
Are eyes made of atoms?
是
Yes.
因为我朋友保罗曾经嗑过氯♥胺♥酮♥
'Cause my mate Paul did ketamine once,
他说嗑完之后 都开始数眼睛里的原子了
and he said he started counting all the atoms in his eyes.
然后他想 把一条毛巾吃下去 就进医院了
Then he tried to eat a towel and ended up in hospital.
好吧
Okay.
我的脚是原子组成的？- 是
Are my feet made of atoms? - Yes.
你直接不用挨个问了...
I mean, I could save you the bother by...
你说的一切 所有东西都是由原子组成的
Everything you say, all stuff is made of atoms.
思想是由原子组成的？
Are thoughts made of atoms?
不是 思想是...
Well, no, thoughts are--
那也不是一切 - 好吧
Well, there you go then. - Okay.
但思想...好吧
But thoughts... Okay.
你们可能认为 没有比原子更小的东西了
You might think nothing's smaller than atoms,
但毫不意外 你们又一次错了
but as usual, you'd be wrong.
非常难以置信 原子本身 是由更小的次原子微粒组成的
Incredibly, atoms themselves are made of even smaller subatomic particles.
科学家用了几十年的时间 试图解释清楚
Scientists have spent literally decades attempting to explain
这些为什么有趣
why these are interesting
最终以失败告终
to no avail.
可能正是因为这样 在日内瓦附近的地下深处
Perhaps that's why, deep underground near Geneva,
建造了一台巨大的机器 称为大型强子碰撞机
they built a gigantic machine called the Large Hadron Colly-der.
它可以把次原子微粒粉碎在一起
It smashes subatomic particles together,
重现大爆♥炸♥的条件
recreating the conditions of the Big Bang.
我正在走进去 戴着安全帽
And I'm actually walking into it now, wearing a hard hat.
防止质子砸在我头上
in case a proton falls on me.
所以这就是大型强子对撞“鸡”
So, this is... this is the actual Large Hadron colander.
这个东西有可能会证明 人类身体中
So am I right in thinking that this might prove
存在能量中心“七轮” 我这样想是对的？
the existence of chakras within the human body?
不对
No.
你对七轮不感兴？
You're not interested in chakras?
不感兴趣 我对鬼魂也同样不感兴趣
No. In the same way I'm not interested in ghosts.
但我的姑姑卡罗尔 能感应到别人体内的七轮
But my aunt Carol, she can sense chakras in someone's body,
她根本不需要机器来检测
and she doesn't need any machines.
这东西随时有可能爆♥炸♥？- 不会
Um, this could explode at any minute. - No.
这东西里面的质子速度能有多？
How fast do the protons in this thing go?
光速的99.999999%
99.999999% the speed of light.
人的嗅觉会更快 不是？- 不是
Your sense of smell is faster, isn't it? - No.
那为什么有人在厨房♥煎培根 你走进厨房♥
How come that when someone's frying bacon and you walk in the kitchen,
还没看见就能直接闻到？
you can smell it straight away before you've even seen it?
你试过把培根放进去？
Have you ever tried putting bacon in here?
没有 - 应该试试
No. - Yeah, you should try it.
说不定能造出量子培根
You might make quantum bacon.
这样会更有趣？- 有点吧
Would that make it more interesting? - A little bit.
为什么会更有？因为那是...
Why would it be more interesting? 'Cause what it's--
我在非常努力地帮你
I'm desperately... I'm trying to help you out here.
我在努力让这东西 看起来更有趣一点点
I'm trying to make it even slightly more interesting than it is.
但这东西探测到了 一种叫做希格斯粒子的东西
But what it did was it detected a thing called a Higgs particle.
没有希格斯粒子
Without the Higgs particle,
你、我还有我们宇宙中 已知的所有东西
you, me, and everything else that we know of in the universe,
那些东西就都不会存在了
none of those things would exist. - Right.
2012年 欧洲核子研究中心的专家 有了重大发现
In 2012, the megaboffins at CERN discovered something incredible,
希格斯玻筛子
the Higgs bosom.
希格斯玻筛子在解释 我们宇宙是怎样形成的问题中
Because of its significance in explaining how our universe was made,
具有重要意义 因此被称为上帝粒子
the Higgs bosom is sometimes referred to as the God Particle.
也可以称为安♥拉♥粒子
But it could also be called the Allah Particle
反正我们也没办法给大家展示照片
because we can't show you any pictures of it.
刚才跟我说话的这个人就是权威
No less an authority than the man I just spoke to
他说这是他有生之年 最重大的科学发现
claimed it was the biggest scientific discovery in his lifetime.
我觉得这是我有生之年 最重大的科学发现
I think this is the biggest scientific discovery in my lifetime.
跟历史上各种伟大的科学发现并肩
And it stood with the great scientific discoveries of all time.
跟历史上各种伟大的科学发现并肩
And it stands with the great scientific discoveries of all time.
希格斯玻色子能让时间倒转？
Can the Higgs boson rewind time?
