but we'll get to a point whereyou could actually capture
但是，我们会捕捉到一切细节
every detail about a personand then recreate that personality.
然后重新塑造这个人
The implications are, of course,staggering.
复♥制♥当然是一种模拟
Chief among them,is the possibility of immortality.
加果取得成功有道德上的限制
You can backup your files.
你可以寻找关于你的文件
If the hardware dies it'snot the end of your files,
你将文件拷贝到一台机器里
you just copy them overto a new machine.
The whole personality of your machinecan be preserved,
然后将机器保存下来
you can make another copy of it...
可以另外做一份拷贝
And the machines themselves will beintelligent enough to self-replicate,
机器是高级智能化可以自我分♥析♥
and steadily improve their design.
然后按照它的设计进行排序
We see self-replication in computers,for example, the software virus.
我们可以在电脑中存储软件
That's an entity, it's not physical,
我们可以增加一些密♥码♥
it's just a piece of software butit's actually able to copy itself.
而它们可以自身复♥制♥
So, someone can put outone software virus,
先让它们进行自我复♥制♥
and it's busy copying itself,and moving through the Internet,
and pretty soon it can be on a billioncomputers, so that's self-replication.
可以放到网络上但是它已经不光是一台电脑了
这就是复♥制♥
还有智能飞行器
And, of course, intelligent machinesthat are both immortal
它们可以在另外一个空间内飞行
and much less vulnerable to radiationand other hazards of space,
could possibly survivelong-term interstellar voyages.
可能进行远程航行
It's an argument that leads Ray Kurzweiland other futurists to believe
这个争论已经在另外一个领域中展开
人们相信我们首先遇到的外星人
that our first alien encounterwill more likely be
更像是智能机器
with intelligent machines thanbiological creatures.
而不太会像生物
Any civilization intelligent enoughto make the trip here
这样的争论已经进行了很多年
they're not gonna sendbig, squishy creatures,
我们可能对这些特征非常熟悉
they're gonna send little nanobots,
non biological systems,and that's what we're gonna do.
它们并不是生物系统我们也会加此做
Intelligent or not,biological or not,
不管是不是智能生物
是否为智能生物
the discovery of any formof extraterrestrial life
对于宇宙中生物的发现
would arguably be the mostprofound scientific revelation
将成为人类文明中的重要根本性的变革
in the historyof human civilization.
Some would even argue it couldhave a profoundly positive influence
有人会认为可能会干扰人类的生物遗产
on human interaction.
To me, I would think that this wouldreally change our perspective as a people.
对我来说这真的会改变我们的观念
I mean, if nothing else,just to give us the perspective
加果没有外界生物
that we are one species onone world in the Universe
假设只有我们这一物种
在宇宙中，我们是独特的物种
in which we are unique for what we are.
And if this doesn'tprovide leverage for us
加果不能改变我们的特性罗伯特?赫特加利福尼亚州工学院
to get past some ofthe foolish differences,
I don't know what will.
I think, ultimately, it mightbe one of the best things
我想，这可能是最好的结果了
that could happen for us.
There's even the possibility thatcontact with an alien civilization
还有一种可能同夕卜星人联♥系♥
wouldn't cause panic in the streets,as some might predict.
不会带来混乱同有些人估计的一样
At the proper moment the invasionwill be launched from our platform.
现在，可以通过平台进入
- I'm getting out of here!- Stay where you are!
我一定要离开这里在这里
I think humans areready to meet aliens
我想人类已经准备好去遇见它们
much more thanthey're given credit for.
他们相信会遇到
I think we're a lot more flexible andopen to these things,
我想，他们已经非常开放更有弹性观念
and the idea that we'll tearourselves apart in panic
而对于可能造成社会混乱的想法
and that society would colapse,
I think that actuallysells us way short.
我想，人们并不肯定
But, what if we neverfind the answer?
加果我们无法找到答案呢
加果我们找不到外星人信♥号♥♥呢
What if we never hearany alien signals?
Never meet an intelligent speciesoutside of our own?
永远找不到智能生物
Silence, in its own way, would bean equally profound response...
安静在某种程度上就是一种答案
It tells us that life is unique,
这告诉我们，生命是独特的
and that intelligent life is precious.
高等生物是很珍稀的导演托尼?隆恩
