一些古代宇航员理论家认为
Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest that substances,
像甘露这样的物质 ，只是象征性的装置而已
like ambrosia, were merely symbolic devices
代表了神灵延长生命的能力
representing the gods' ability to extend their lives.
而且他们认为这是用科学家
And they believe this was accomplished using the same
如今正在开♥发♥的同样的技术完成的
technology that scientists are developing today,
即基因拼接
gene splicing.
马萨诸塞州 剑桥
2021年1月6日
一组科学家团队在使用
A team of scientists working with a gene-manipulating
一种被称为CRISPR的
technology known as CRISPR
基因操纵技术时
at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT
有了一个突破性的发现
makes a groundbreaking discovery.
通过编辑小鼠的特定基因
By editing specific genes in mice,
研究人员能够
the researchers were able
使他们的测试对象的寿命延长一倍
to double the life spans of their test subjects.
你可以把CRISPR想象成
CRISPR, you can think of it like
我们可以切割和剪掉我们的DNA片段
we can cut and snip out pieces of our DNA.
而如果我们能够发现 例如
And if we can discover, for example,
我们的部分遗传密♥码♥中
part of our genetic code
与衰老有关的部分
that has to do with aging,
我们也许可以把它剪掉
we can maybe cut it out,
或者我们可以在遗传密♥码♥中添加一些
or we can add things into the genetic code
可能延长生命的东西，从而有可能创造
that might extend life to potentially create
一个可以长生不老的人
a human that could live forever.
如果我们能够重写DNA代码
If we could rewrite the DNA code,
原则上我们可以长生不老
in principle we can live forever.
我们已经能够对老鼠的DNA进行切割
Already we've been able to slice and dice that for a mouse,
最终我们将对人类的DNA进行切割
and eventually we'll do it for a human.
尽管CRISPR技术是否
NARRATOR: While it remains to be seen if CRISPR technology
能成功延长人类的寿命 还有待观察......
will succeed in increasing the human life span...
但一些科学家认为
...some scientists believe the key to immortality
通过研究一种奇怪海洋生物
may be found by studying a strange sea creature
可能会找到长生不老的关键
that has the ability to live forever.
因此 自然界中有一种东西似乎
So, one thing in nature that seems
是不死的，那就是永生水母
to be immortal is the immortal jellyfish,
它实际上可以在受损或面临危险时
where it can actually revert to an earlier state
恢复到早期状态
when damaged or at risk
然后重新生长到成年状态
and then regrow back into the adult state.
所有动物的细胞最初都是干细胞
NARRATOR: The cells of all animals begin as stem cells,
然后发展成器官、肌肉、骨骼
which then develop into organs, muscles, bones,
和其他任何生物体需要的东西
and whatever else the organism needs.
一种叫道恩灯塔水母的物种
The jellyfish species Turritopsis dohrnii,
通常被称为永生水母
commonly known as the immortal jellyfish,
可以将成熟的成年细胞
can take mature adult cells
变成干细胞
and turn them back into stem cells,
使水母实际上可以
allowing the jellyfish to, in effect,
重新开始发育
start its development all over.
因此 你真的是在逆转生物的时间线
So you're really reversing the biological
然后重新设定它向前发展
timeline and then resetting it going forward,
这样你实际上不仅活得更长
so that you're actually not only living longer
而且更年轻
but you're also younger.
对我来说，思考这些东西
And thinking about how these things
是如何被逆转的，是接近生物学中永生的
get reversed, to me, is an intriguing way
一种有趣的方式
to approach the biology and the immortality.
通过了解
NARRATOR: By understanding species
像永生水母这样的物种
like the immortal jellyfish
并通过基因编辑技术
and through the technology of gene editing,
我们是否可以大大延长人类的寿命？
might we greatly extend the human life span?
外星人会不会使用
And could extraterrestrials have used
类似的手段来实现永生
similar means to achieve immortality,
使他们能够在太空中进行长途旅行？
allowing them to travel great distances through space?
索卡罗斯：在我看来 我们经常生活在一个重新发现的时代
TSOUKALOS: It often seems to me that we live in a time of rediscovery,
也就是说
meaning that the fact that we
我们想出了一些方法来改善
come up with ways with which to improve
和延长我们的生命
and prolong our lives,
其实外星人很早就知道了这一点
extraterrestrials have figured that out long ago.
尽管科学家们对通过基因工程延长人类寿命
NARRATOR: But while scientists are optimistic that the human
持乐观态度
life span can be lengthened through genetic engineering,
但许多航♥天♥专家认为条件
many aerospace experts believe that biological
生物体根本不具备
bodies are simply not equipped
可以抵御长♥期♥太空旅行的严酷考验
to withstand the rigors of extended space travel.
他们认为
They suggest that,
如果人类有朝一日
if humans are to one day colonize
要在其他星球上殖民，就需要将人和机器合并
other planets, it will require merging man and machine.
华盛顿特区
国家新闻俱乐部
2001年5月9日
在一个名为 "披露计划 "的UFO调查小组
NARRATOR: In a press conference organized by a UFO investigative group
组织的新闻发布会上
called the Disclosure Project,
前陆军中士克利福德·斯通
former Army Sergeant Clifford Stone
宣布了一个惊人的消息
makes a shocking announcement.
他声称自己是一个绝密军事单位的成员
He claims to be part of a top secret military unit
曾经负责为美国政♥府♥回收外星飞船
once tasked with recovering extraterrestrial craft
和它们的飞行员
and their pilots for the U.S. government.
我曾经参与过的情况是 我们实际上是在
I was involved in situations where we actually
回收坠毁的飞碟
did recoveries of crashed, of crashed saucers,
因为缺乏一个更好的术语 所以叫碎片
for lack of a better term, debris thereof.
其中一些坠毁事件涉及到尸体
There were bodies that were involved with
此外 有些外星人还活着
some of these crashes. Also, some were alive.
当我们在做这一切的时候
While we were doing all this, we were telling
我们告诉美国公众，这里没发生什么
the American public there was nothing to it.
我们告诉世界，这里没发生什么
We were telling the world there was nothing to it.
斯通中士后来描述说
NARRATOR: Sergeant Stone would later describe
在一次具体的任务中 他了解到一个外星飞船的飞行员
a specific mission in which he learned that the pilot of
是 "一个生物机器人"
an extraterrestrial craft was "a biological robot."
所以，他发现，这些所谓的灰色外星人
NEWMAN: So, what he found was, is that these so-called
具有瘦小的身体和巨大的头
Grey aliens with the skinny bodies and giant
就像生物机器人一样
heads were like biological robots.
他们的器官很少
They-they had few organs.
他们体内有一些机械
They had all this machinery
和计算单元
and computing inside them,
他真的质疑这一切到底是怎么回事
and he really questioned what this was all about.
所以结论是，他们一定是为了跨越从他们的星球
And the conclusion was that they must have been created
到这个星球的巨大距离而创造出来的
to travel huge distances from their planet to this planet
因为 如果他们只是一个生物实体
because, if they were just a biological entity,
他们根本不可能存活
they simply would not have survived.
是否可能地球正在被
NARRATOR: Could it be that Earth is being visited
部分是机器的外星实体所访问？
by alien entities that are part machine?
这就是为什么古代人把神称为
Is this why the ancient people referred to the gods as
不死之身，因为他们不完全是生物体
immortals, because they were not entirely
似乎永远不会衰老
biological beings and appeared to never age?
为了进一步支持这一观点
As further support for this notion,
古代宇航员理论家
ancient astronaut theorists
指出了一个出现在法国18世纪的奇怪人物
point to a strange figure that appears in 18th century France,
神秘的圣日耳曼伯爵
the mysterious Count de Saint-Germain.
科林斯：圣日耳曼伯爵
COLLINS: The Count de Saint-Germain is
可能是人类历史上最神秘的绅士之一
probably one of the most enigmatic gentlemen of human history.
他是一个冒险家，他是一个科学家
He was an adventurer, he was a scientist,
他是一个作曲家
he was a composer.
他懂得几种语言
He knew several languages,
但奇怪的是，每当有人见到他时
yet, strangely, he always was the same age
他的年龄从未变过
whenever anybody saw him.
埃廷顿：关于这位伯爵的
ETTINGTON: One of the most interesting stories
最有趣的故事之一 是当他在一个社交聚会上
about the count was that when he was at a social gathering
遇到一位老妇人，这位老妇人说：
he met an old woman, and the old woman said,
"我在60年前遇到你，那时我还是个年轻的女人"
"I met you 60 years ago when I was a young woman,
"你当时看起来只有40多岁,和现在一样 "
and you looked in your 40s then, same as you do now."
他并没有变老
He hadn't aged.
人们谈论的另一件事是
Another thing that people talk about was that he had
他有很多历史和科学的知识
so much knowledge of history and of science.
他知道很多领导人和国王的情况
He knew a lot of the leaders and kings.
据说在他漫长的一生中
NARRATOR: Throughout his reportedly very long life,
圣日耳曼伯爵结交了许多贵族和统治者
