CORBELL: I started getting a bunch of texts.
他遭到突袭 不仅是FBI
He’s being raided, not just by the FBI,
还有许多其他机构
by multiple agencies.
法♥院♥收集代理商资料 有人对他们的电脑做镜像
Forensic collection agents, people mirroring computers.
他们把他的生意搞得一团糟
They turned his business upside down.
我已经和一些联邦探员谈过了
And I’ve talked to a number of federal agents.
他们的工作就是做这样的操作
Their job is to do operations like this.
你不必为一个完成营业额的公♥司♥去做书面材料 只需要打个电♥话♥
You do not go for a full turnover of a place of business for paperwork; you make a phone call.
鲍勃•拉扎尔从来没有回答过他是否拥有115号♥元素
NARRATOR: Bob Lazar never provided an answer to the question of whether he was in possession of Element 115.
但是为什么呢?
But why?
FBI可能在监听吗?
Could it be that the FBI was listening in?
如果是这样的话 他们是不是突袭了他的生意 试图为自己找到答案?
If so, did they raid his business in an attempt to find the answer for themselves?
但更重要的是
But more importantly,
如果他的故事是真的
if his story is true,
这对人类意味着什么?
what are the implications for humankind?
一些科学家认为 如果美国政♥府♥拥有鲍勃•拉扎尔所描述的那种技术
Some scientists suggest that if the U.S. government is in possession of the type of technology Bob Lazar described,
它可能导致人类历史上最大的技术飞跃
it could lead to the greatest technological leap in human history.
莫斯科 1963年
NARRATOR: Moscow, 1963.
天体物理学家尼古拉•卡尔达舍夫 检测到来自一个名为CTA-102的类星体的一个未经确认的无线电辐射
Astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev examines an unidentified radio emission coming from a quasar named CTA-102.
这是苏联第一次官方努力寻找外星智能生物
It is the first official Soviet effort in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
这激发了卡尔达舍夫的灵感 他推测外星文明可能领先我们数百万甚至数十亿年
And it inspires Kardashev to speculate that alien civilizations could exist that are millions-- or even billions-- of years ahead of us.
他创造了卡尔达舍夫量表
He creates what is known as the Kardashev scale,
文明的三个层次的分类方案
a classification scheme ranking three levels of civilizations,
基于他们驾驭能源的能力
based on their ability to harness energy.
I型文明拥有整个星球的能量
A Type I civilization has the energy of an entire planet.
例如 它们可能控制天气、地震和火山
They might, for example, control the weather earthquakes, volcanoes.
他们可以修改这些因素
They can modify them.
他们拥有行星的力量
They have the power of a planet.
这是I型
That’s Type I.
II型文明已经掌握了恒星的能量
A Type II civilization has mastered the energy of a star.
他们殖民了附近的行星
They’ve colonized the nearby planets,
与《星际迷航》中的星际联盟非常相似
very similar to the Federation of Planets like in Star Trek.
《星际迷航》是一个II型文明
Star Trek would be a Type II civilization.
然后是III型
Then there’s Type III.
银河
Galactic.
他们漫步在银河的太空航线上
They roam the galactic space lanes.
他们利用黑洞的力量
They harness the power of black holes.
就像星球大战帝国一样
That’s like the Empire of Star Wars.
那就是III型文明
That would be a Type III civilization.
现在 在这个宇宙的尺度上 我们是什么?
Now, on this cosmic scale, what are we?
我们能控制地球吗?
Do we control the Earth?
我们能控制星星吗? 我们能控制银河系吗?
Do we control the stars? Do we control the galaxy?
我们是0型
We are Type 0.
我们只能从死去的植物中获取能量
We get our energy from dead plants.
一些科学家认为 如果人类上升到卡尔达舍夫所说的I型文明
NARRATOR: Some scientists suggest that if humans were even to ascend to what Kardashev called a Type I civilization,
我们目前对宇宙规律的理解将会发生巨大的变化
our current understanding of the laws of the universe would be dramatically altered.
道雄:现在 我的一些同事说
KAKU: Now, some of my colleagues say,
“呸 欺骗 星星是如此遥远”
"Bah. Humbug. The stars are so far away,
“外星人不可能找到我们 ”
aliens can’t possibly reach us."
但这只是假设它们是一类文明
But that assumes that they’re just Type I.
如果他们比我们领先一千年呢?
What happens if they are a thousand years ahead of us?
或者 对于三类文明来说
Or, for a Type III civilization,
他们比我们先进十万年?
a hundred thousand years more advanced than us?
然后新的物理定律开始出现
Then new laws of physics begin to open up,
所有的“呸 骗子”都得扔出窗外
and all the "bah humbugs" have to be thrown out the window,
因为一旦你是第二类或第三类文明 一个新的物理尺度就会出现
because a new scale of physics emerges once you are Type II or Type III.
有几个理论物理学家认为 一旦人类达到了第一类文明的地位
NARRATOR: There are several theoretical physicists who believe that once humans achieve the status of a Type I civilization,
进化到II型和殖民其他行星将很快发生 将类似于我们从猿到人类的飞跃
evolving to Type II and colonizing other planets will happen quickly and will be akin to our leap from ape to human.
如果是这样的话 那么鲍勃•拉扎尔关于外星飞船逆向工程的描述 是否标志着人类进化到了革命性转折点呢?
If so, could Bob Lazar’s accounts of reverse engineered alien spacecraft signal a revolutionary turning point in human evolution?
也许通过研究最近的一项科学突破可以找到进一步的线索
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a recent scientific breakthrough.
俄♥罗♥斯♥ 杜布
Dubna, Russia.
2003年8月10日
August 10, 2003.
俄♥罗♥斯♥和美国联合核研究所的核物理学家 将一束钙原子射向95号♥元素镅的目标
Russian and U.S. nuclear physicists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research shoot a beam of calcium atoms at a target of element 95, americium,
在粒子加速器里
inside a particle accelerator.
碰撞产生了迄今为止观察到的最重的原子:
The collision results in the creation of the heaviest atom ever observed:
115号♥元素
Element 115.
因为115号♥元素高度不稳定
Because Element 115 is highly unstable,
在分解成放射性碎片之前 它只以稳定的形式存在了几分之一秒
it exists in stable form for only a fraction of a second before disintegrating into radioactive fragments.
但这可能就是鲍勃•拉扎尔所说的外星飞船的燃料来源吗?
But could this be the very same element that Bob Lazar said was the fuel source for an extraterrestrial craft?
一些物理学家认为 如果他们能制♥造♥出这种新合成元素的稳定形式
NARRATOR: Some physicists believe that if they can produce a stable form of this newly synthesized element,
它有可能推动人类历史上最大的技术飞跃
it has the potential to facilitate the greatest technological leap in human history.
除了铀 这些元素中的大多数
Most of these elements, beyond uranium,
只存在了几分之一秒
only exist for a fraction of a second.
他们出现了一会 然后又消失了
They’re there, and then they’re gone again.
但是我们物理学家认为 我们可以利用它来制♥造♥比钚更有效的核能
But we physicists think that we can make use of it to create nuclear energy on a much more efficient scale than plutonium...
如果它能变的稳定
and that variations of it could be stable,
它可能最终为星际飞船提供燃料
and might eventually provide fuel for a starship.
这项技术绝对可以瞬间改变我们的世界 超乎我们的想象
This technology can absolutely, instantaneously alter our world beyond our wildest imagination.
而且它发展的速度如此之快 会对人类的意识造成冲击
And it could do so so rapidly that it would be a shock to the human consciousness.
所以 我们的想法是研究这些技术 并试图从中获得一些有益于人类的东西
So, the idea is to study these technologies and try to get parts of it that will benefit humanity.
主流科学家认为 现在还需要几十年的时间来稳定为星际飞船提供动力的“镆”
NARRATOR: Mainstream scientists believe stabilizing enough Moscovium to power an intergalactic spacecraft is still decades away.
但问题依然存在: 这个115号♥元素和鲍勃•拉扎尔声称被美国♥军♥方找到的是同一元素吗?
But the question remains: could this Element 115 be the same Element 115 that Bob Lazar claims was recovered by the U.S. military?
一直以来 人们都认为115号♥元素本身确实存在 但直到2003年 我们才真正制♥造♥出了它
It has always been theorized that Element 115 itself does exist, but we hadn’t physically made it ourselves until 2003.
然而 鲍勃•拉扎尔得到的115号♥元素
However, the Element 115 that Bob Lazar had his hands on,
它有不同的同位素比例使其稳定
that had a different isotopic ratio that allowed it to be stabilized.
虽然科学家们认为有可能创造出稳定的镆
NARRATOR: While scientists suggest that it may be possible to create a stable version of Moscovium,
有些人认为这种新合成的元素只是一种诱饵
there are some who believe this newly synthesized element is simply a decoy.
会不会是某个秘密的政♥府♥机构 为了说服公众而引进了这种高度不稳定的元素
Could it be that some secret government agency arranged for the introduction of this highly unstable element in order to convince the public
鲍勃•拉扎尔描述的115号♥元素其实不存在?
that the Element 115 Bob Lazar described... does not exist?
每当有人在科幻小说中提出一个奇怪的主张 比如115号♥元素
Whenever somebody makes a bizarre claim that’s written off for science fiction, like Element 115 was,
然后 几年后 科学就会赶上来了
and then, years later, the science catches up,
“哦 是的 他是对的”
and it’s, "Oh, yeah, he was right.
“有一种115号♥元素 我们刚刚制♥造♥了一些 ”
There is an Element 115, and we’ve just manufactured some."
这是一种错误的信息
Well, it’s the idea that this is disinformation.
他们会说这是重元素之一
And they’ll be saying it’s one of these heavy elements
它只在很短的一段时间内稳定
that’s only stable for a very short period of time.
那不可能是星际旅行得以实现的真正燃料
That simply can’t be the real fuel by which interstellar travel was made possible.
他在瞎编
He’s making it up.
因此 他不会泄露任何机密信息
Therefore, he’s not divulging anything classified.
但是当这个公告第一次发布的时候
But when this announcement was first made,
有些人说:“等一下”
some people said, "Wait a minute.
“如果鲍勃•拉扎尔关于115号♥元素的说法是正确的”
"If Bob Lazar was right about Element 115,
“他还有什么是对的?”
what else was he right about?"
对于古代宇航员理论家来说
NARRATOR: For ancient astronaut theorists,
115元素已经被添加到元素周期表中
the fact that an Element 115 has now been added to the periodic table,
科学家们已经在推测它将如何用于太空旅行
and that scientists are already speculating about how it might be used for space travel,
这似乎进一步证实了鲍勃•拉扎尔的说法
seems to lend further credence to Bob Lazar’s claims.
但如果军方真的从坠毁的外星飞船上找到了115号♥元素的稳定版本
But if the military really did recover a stabilized version of Element 115 from a crashed alien craft,
他们是偶然发现它的
did they come upon it by chance,
还是它可能是外星议程的一部分?
or could it have been given to us as part of an extraterrestrial agenda?
1947年10月18日
NARRATOR: October 18, 1947.
前苏联的阿斯特拉罕地区
The Astrakhan Region of the former Soviet Union.
一个名为卡普斯丁•杨的军事航♥天♥发展实验室
From a military aerospace development lab known as Kapustin Yar,
科学家成功发射了他们的第一枚远程弹道导弹:一枚德国A4火箭
scientists successfully launch their first long-range ballistic missile: a German A4 rocket.
在接下来的十年里 这里将是苏联唯一的弹道导弹试验基地
For the next decade, this will be the Soviet Union’s only test site for ballistic missiles,
以及将第一颗卫星和第一个人类送入太空的太空计划的开始
and the beginning of a space program that put the first satellite and the first human being into space.
奇怪的是 1948年
Curiously, in 1948,
卡普斯丁•杨也是苏联首次报道有UFO遭遇的地点
Kapustin Yar was also the site of the Soviet Union’s first reported UFO encounter.
1948年6月19日 苏联雷达探测到一个雪茄形状的物体
On June 19, 1948, a cigar-shaped object was detected by Soviet radar.
一个银色的雪茄状物体
A silverish, cigar-shaped object,
出现在测试场地
uh, appeared over the testing grounds.
苏联人试图击落它
And, um, the Soviets tried to shoot it down.
这是一个高度机密的案子
It’s a highly classified case.
我们不知道到底发生了什么
We don’t know exactly what happened,
但是 据说 他们击落了这个物体
but, allegedly, they were able to actually shoot this object down.
他们在里面发现了尸体
They found remnants of bodies in it,
还包括技术
and also technology,
该物体被找到并带到当地地堡
which was recovered and taken to the local bunker,
据说他们把它放了好几年
where they kept it, allegedly, for years,
用它来逆向一些工程技术
and used it to reverse engineer some of the technology.
据说卡普斯丁•杨事件发生在著名的罗斯韦尔事件的一年内
