Part 2 May 10, 2021, 12:05 p.m.

The second half was based on H.G. Wells'
《月球上最早的人类》
"The First Men in the Moon."
早期关于太空旅行的描述展现了角色们
Early depictions of space travel show characters
可以自如地移♥动♥ 打开舱门
just moving about freely, opening up the door,
格兰特·威佐夫
讲师
哥伦比亚大学
毫无困难地在太空里行走
and walking out into space with no trouble.
《火星之旅》
氧气不是必须的
在这个大气层里我们可以轻松地呼吸
但随后的几十年内对太空
But within a couple decades, things change pretty quickly
和太空旅行的电影描写手法发生了飞速变化
in cinematic depictions of, uh, outer space and space travel,
所以早在二十世纪二十年代
so, as early as the 1920s,
有《月球上的女人》这样的电影
you have films like "Woman in the Moon"
《月球上的女人》
是弗里茨·朗拍摄的
by Fritz Lang,
角色们被绑在座位上
where characters are strapped into their seats,
飞船起飞的时候
and as the ship is taking off,
他们能感受到重力
they can feel the pressure
对他们胸腔的压力
of the g-force on their chests,
升空时会呼吸困难
struggling to breathe as they lift off.
然后又有一些作家
And then you've got writers that worked
加里·K·沃尔夫
作家
《伟大的科幻小说作品是怎样炼成的》
为约翰·W·坎贝尔工作
for John W. Campbell Jr.
在他开始编辑《惊人的科幻》杂♥志♥的时候
when he began editing "Astounding Science Fiction,"
《惊人的科幻》
他坚持科学逼真性的标准
who were held to a standard of scientific verisimilitude,
《惊人的科幻》
那个时候你就可以看到真实的
and that's when you start getting realistic,
可信的太空历险了
believable space adventures.
没时间倒计时了准备
No time for count-off! Stand by.
《登陆月球》
点火
Fire!
给我们讲讲这次月球旅行
Tell us about this trip to the moon.
你觉得这有可能实现吗
Do you -- Do you think this is possible?
罗伯特·海因莱因
在《登陆月球》片场
是的非常有可能
Oh, yes. Yes. It's quite possible.
我们的技术水平已经足够了吧
We're here, aren't we?
不仅技术水平够了而且
Not only are we here, but, uh,
它是可以实现的
it can be done.
只要有人愿意买♥♥单
It can be done as soon as anyone
就可以实现
is willing to foot the bill to do it.
罗伯特·海因莱因曾是硬科幻小说大♥师♥
Robert Heinlein was the guru of hard science-fiction,
但我认为除此之外更重要的是
but I think, before that and beyond that,
《异乡异客》
罗伯特·海因莱因
他是逻辑科幻小说的大♥师♥
he was the guru of logical science-fiction.
海因莱因提出了一个问题
Heinlein asked the question --
罗伯特·海因莱因
《地球上的绿色山丘》
正是硬科幻的一个经典疑题
which is the classic hard science-fiction question --
怎样才能做到怎样才能解决那个问题
How do you do it? How do you solve that problem?
直至今日这仍是科幻小说的一个关键主题
Even today, that's a key theme in science fiction.
残片连锁反应失控
Debris chain reaction is out of control.
并飞速扩散
and rapidly expanding.
多颗卫星受波及坠毁
Multiple satellites are down and they keep on falling.
凯文·格拉齐尔
科学顾问
《地心引力》
夸龙父子意图重建
The Cuaróns wanted to recreate the good, the bad,
太空旅行的善恶与丑陋
and the ugly of space travel.
我们得马上撤离
Look, we need to get the hell out of here.
-明白 -马特要帮忙吗
- All right. - You need some help there, Matt?
-不用别等我们 -卡住了
- No, don't wait for us. - It's stuck!
我和夸龙父子讨论过
One of the things I discussed with the Cuaróns
凯斯勒现象也就是说
was the Kessler syndrome and the notion
卫星残骸会变成碎片
that a destroyed satellite can lead to debris,
从而破坏更多卫星导致更多碎片的形成
which destroys more satellites and more debris.
如今太空碎片对任何需要穿过近地轨道的
Space debris is a real concern for any spacecraft
宇宙飞船来说都存在威胁
that has to travel through low Earth orbit today.
探索者
Explorer.
以碎片的速度哪怕像螺栓那样的小物件
At the speeds debris can travel, a small object like a bolt
打到你时的动能可达到
can hit you with the kinetic energy
榴弹炮那么大
of a howitzer round.
电影《地心引力》在视觉上是十分引人入胜的
The film "Gravity" is visually compelling
希娜·吉福德
首席健康与安全官
NASA火星模拟员
因为它建立了一种无情的动态系统
because it really sets up the unforgiving dynamic,
只需向错误方向迈出的微小一步
how just the smallest step in the wrong direction
就足以打破这一系列事件的平衡
is going to send the entire series of events tumbling.
几乎毫不费力
And it only takes that much.
不
No!
他们在电影中犯的唯一的大错是
The only really big mistake they made
当你在宇宙空间站上时
in that movie is that, if you were up on a space station,
是绝对不会轻易放弃乔治·克鲁尼的
the last thing you'd do is let George Clooney go.
宇宙中无穷无尽的奥秘
There's a lot of secrets in the universe.
大多不为人知
We don't know anything.
这是我唯一确信的事
That's the one thing I do know for sure.
但我们需要突破我们所在的太阳系
But we've gotta get out of our solar system.
到达另外一个太阳系
We've gotta get to another solar system.
乔治·卢卡斯
导演制片人
但爱因斯坦说过
Yeah, but Einstein says you can't travel
光速是无法被超越的
faster than the speed of light.
在科幻电影中基本上
Science fiction is basically saying
不存在任何限制
there are no limits.
-是这样 -要跳出思维局限
- That's right. - Think outside the box.
不管别人说什么
No matter what somebody tells you...
不管你都学了什么
No matter what you've learned,
把那些都扔到一旁只用想着
throw all that away and say,
"任何我想的我都能做到
"I can do anything I wanna do.
你身处一个完全不同的宇宙"
You're in a completely different universe."
穿梭超时空可不像打理庄稼孩子
Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dustin' crops, boy.
我们时常会忘记
We sometimes forget that space
太空有宇宙那么大
is cosmologically big.
亚当·卢瑟福
科学记者
BBC电台第四频道
依靠现有技术去宇宙中的其他地方旅行
Traveling to the rest of the universe would take
要花数十年甚至上千年
tens, thousands of years with current technology.
我们之所以用光年来测量
The reason we measure them in light-years
是因为到达这么远的距离
is because it takes that long
以光速行驶需要的时间是这么久
for the speed of light to travel that distance.
超光速旅行是太空旅行的必杀技
Faster-than-light travel is the holy grail of space travel.
戴维·杰罗尔德
作家
《星际旅行》《巴比伦五号♥》
如今 "无中生有"是
And right now, it's the "Baloneum" That we --
无中生有指的是你为了自圆其说编出的东西
baloneum is that stuff you make up to make the story work
它和"掩人耳目"还不一样
and it's different from "Handwaveum,"
掩人耳目是使读者
which is how you distract
或者观众分心
the reader or the viewer,
但这又不是"望尘莫及"
but, uh -- and it's not "Unobtainium."
这里主要是无中生有
That's a diff-- But baloneum is that stuff.
如果我们捏造对了
If we had the right baloneum,
我们就能让超光速旅行可行
we could make faster-than-light travel work.
这里便是对一位艺术家的完美限制
So, here is a perfect limitation for an artist.
你无法超越光速
You can't go faster than light speed.
马特·辛格
总编辑
打破荧幕[美国影评网站]
我们又如何绕过它来探索宇宙呢
How are we gonna get around it to explore the universe?
科幻小说的作者们说
Science-fiction writers said,
"好吧那么我就就要造出一个
"Okay, well, we have to create a speed
比光速还快的速度"
faster than light speed."
准备好和我们的太阳系说再见了吗
Are you ready to say goodbye to our solar system?
执行跳跃
Execute jump.
我不确定哪里出了差错
I'm not sure what's wrong here.
是停泊制动器开了吗
Is the parking brake on?
压缩机
Compressor.
这么匆匆忙忙的
What a rush.
《禁忌星球》
伴着那阵匆忙科幻小说推出了探索时代
And with that rush, science fiction launches an age of exploration.
我们下降到光速的0.3896倍了
We're down to 0.3896th of light speed.
