你非常有把握的事
Especially those things.
特别是你非常有把握的事
It's being called the largest scientific experiment
这被称作是有史以来规模最大的
in history,
科学实验
and some say one that could cause Armageddon.
甚至有人说它会造成世界末日
It's the strangest experiment ever:
这也是有史以来最特别的一次实验
mankind's most ambitious attempt
人类为了理解世间万物
to understand how we all got here.
所做的最有野心的尝试
Thousands of scientists from around the world

spent 20 years designing an extraordinary machine.
花费了20多年设计建造出了这个非凡的机器
It cost 5 billion pounds and will switching on very soon.
这个总共花费了50亿英镑的庞然大物即将启动
This is a genesis machine,
这是一部创世的机器
a window on creation.
可以打开创造万物秘诀的窗口
Five months of testing on...
历经了五个月的测试
They're looking for something called the God Particle,
他们在寻找一个被称作上帝粒子的东西
but skeptics are saying nobody knows what will happen
但是怀疑论者说没有人知道
when they turn on the switch.
当开关按下去后将会发生什么
A group of French scientists believe the collider
一组来自法国的科学家们相信
might create a black hole
这个对撞机将会生成一个黑洞
that could swallow up the earth,
而这个黑洞会吞噬整个地球
and they filed suit to stop the project from going forward.
他们甚至提起诉讼要求中止这个项目
Hello?
你好
No, absolutely not.
不 完全不可能
Well, no, there is no scientific ground to what they say.
他们提出的观点完全没有理论依据
It's not possible that the LHC is going to destroy the world.
大型强子对撞机不可能毁灭整个世界
It's absolutely ridiculous.
这简直太荒谬了
Okay, it is 9:15.
好的 现在是9点15分
We are 15 minutes away from beam.
距离首次启动测试开始还剩15分钟
We've been sitting here, about 7:00,
我们从早上7点就坐在这了
and absolutely nobody brought food.
也没人给我们送吃的来
Again, 15 minutes to beam.
再说一遍 还剩15分钟！
Ciao, ciao. Stress levels are high.
你好 你好 每个人都特别的紧张
Ciao.
你好
But since I'm in a room full of Italians,
但是因为房♥间里都是意大利人
the stress level's pretty cool here.
所以也就不怎么感觉紧张了
But we have no coffee either.
而且我们也没有咖啡
No coffee. Who didn't bring coffee?

What we're going to see today
我们今天将要看到的是
is the launch of the first beam of protons
在这个超大的环形管道中
around this enormous ring.
射出第一束质子
Very shortly, Lyn Evans, the project director,
再过不久 我们的项目带头人林恩·埃文斯
is going to be addressing CERN staff,
将要告诉这里的工作人员们
who are gathered at different points
他们将会被分派到
around this massive complex.
这个大型装置的哪个部分去
It's just the first glimpse at the fact the machine can run.
这只是一项简单的测试 告诉我们这个机器能够正常地运转
I mean, so what you need, really,
你需要做的是
is, you need two beams colliding together
让两束粒子相撞
for quite a few...
并且保持
quite a long period of time before you calculate,
保持一段时间 让我们有足够的时间来计算
get enough...
以得到
sufficient statistics in which to actually
足够多的数据
be able to look for the new physics.
来探究新的物理现象
But single beam, the first beam, isn't even that.
但就首次启动测试来说不需要那样
You're not even getting any collisions.
不需要任何碰撞
It's just one beam going around in a circle,
只要让一束质子在环形管道里旋转就可以了
not even at the high energies.
甚至都不需要太大的能量
Just one beam going around in the low energy circle,
仅仅是让一束质子沿着管道低速旋转
that sort of says, "Okay, we made it around the ring once
就像是说“好的 我们首次成功地使一束质子
for the first time."
在管道里旋转了”
And it's a huge event.
但这仍然是一个重大事件
Right, after 19 years, you've been waiting
要知道为了这第一步
for this first step.
已经等待了19年
Let's get started, everybody.
各位 我们开始吧
Now comes the day of reckoning.
这一天终于来了
Five, four, three,
５ ４ ３
two, one...
２ １
Now.
启动
No beam.
没有反应
Yeah.
是的
So where are we with the injection kicker?
发射器现在是个什么情况？
Oh, well... they're out.
噢 好的...质子发射出来了
Okay, never mind.
那就好 没事了
Let's go.
我们重新开始
Five, four, three,
５ ４ ３
two, one, zero.
２ １ ０
We get a beam on this pulse?
质子被发射出去了吗？
I hope so.
是的
Yes!
太好了！
Well, last night I was, like, waking up constantly.
事实上 昨晚我一直睡不着 脑子里想着各种事
Like, "Did we set that right?
“我们实验数据设定的对么？
What about... did we disable... oh, my gosh!"
我们是不是忘了关上...我的天！”
Marzio.
玛琪奥
I have a plot for you.
给你看一个图表
Okay, check this out.
好了 看下这个
This is Z.
这里表示Z
This is timing, in nanoseconds,
这是时间轴 单位是纳秒
which we knew from the cosmic data.
这是我们从数据中得出的
That is very nice. Yes.
看起来真棒 没错
Upstairs, I think people were more excited about this.
楼上的人看到这个谷歌♥的图标应该会更加激动
If you're in Google, that means... that's the world.

It tells us that the magnetic properties
它告诉我们这部机器的
of the machine are good,
磁性质很好
that the aperture is clear.
且孔径光洁
There's nothing is sticking into the beam pipe anywhere.
也没有任何东西粘附在管道内壁上面
So a very, very encouraging sign and remarkable progress.
总的来说是一个非常鼓舞人心的标志
Did you guys see our beautiful plot?
你们看过我们漂亮的图表了吗？
What? Okay, I want to show you this.
什么？ 好吧 给你们看下这个
Come on, show them the plot.
来嘛 让他们看看
You can take a picture of... here you go.
你可以把它拍下来 没错
Well, see if you can get it.
看看能不能拍清楚
I don't think there's anyone else
我觉得除了他们以外
I can show my plot to, so...
没有人会看我的图表 所以
It worked.
成功了
It just worked.
真的成功了
And there are so few times in life where it just works.
人的一生中没有几次可以像现在这样
And there are so even fewer times in life
特别是能够取得这种成功
where it just works great.
的机会更是少之又少
We rocked.
我们太棒了
I mean, Tile, first beam...
想想看 首次启动
We destroyed that shit.
我们干的太漂亮了
They got a beam circulating.
他们让一束粒子沿着环形管道转圈
They've had beams circulating for a full 30 seconds.
他们让一束粒子循环运动了30秒
So let me understand.
让我确认一下
This is one beam going one way?
仅仅是一束粒子沿着一个方向运动
They have one beam going one way,
是的 先是只有一束粒子沿一个方向运动
and then they went to the other beam going the other way.
然后又加入一束粒子沿反方向运动
Well, does it work?
那他们成功了么
The second beam, did it go fully around?
第二束粒子也能绕一个完整的圆
Everything... they both went around.
成功了 都成功了
I think they had the beam go around
我想他们已经成功地让一束粒子
about a million times.
循环运动了几百万次
Something like that.
大概就是那样
Yeah, their Twitter feed said 10 million.
没错 他们在推特上说已经一千万次了
Now we'll become, you know, CERN Twitter junkies.
这次我们也要开始在推特上刷屏了
I guess this is exciting.
我想这是件令人激动的事
My logical self wants to be excited.
我理性的一面想让我激动一些
My psychological self is very cautious.
而我感性的那一面却非常镇定
