与摩根·弗里曼一起穿越虫洞（2010）

Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman S02E10

Part 6 April 19, 2021, 2:38 p.m.

阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦以及数学家埃利·嘉当
Albert Einstein and mathematician Elie Cartan
相信在时空结构中物质
believed matter could also twist individual fibers
也能扭成特别的纤维
in the fabric of space-time.
然而，扭曲的效果是如此地小
However, the effects of torsion are so tiny,
它们是无法测量的
they are impossible to measure.
没有任何手段来测试它
Without any means to test it,
爱因斯坦和嘉当放弃了这一理论
Einstein and Cartan abandoned the theory.
但尼科德姆在他们停下的地方拾起这一理论
But Nikodem picked up where they left off.
他把他的理论运用到
He applied their theory
黑洞中的无情的引力上
to the unforgiving gravity inside a black hole,
在黑洞中物质飞速旋转
where matter spins so fast,
扭曲把时空扭成一个螺旋弹簧
torsion twists space-time into a coiled spring,
等待爆发
waiting to explode.
这是即将崩塌的黑洞
So, here is the collapsing black hole.
在一个管子中的龙♥卷♥风♥可见到
Tornado in a tube visualize the very violent dynamics
物质通过视界时的非常剧烈的动力学
of the motion of the matter through the event horizon.
在极高的密度下
At extremely high densities,
扭曲开始变得明显
torsion starts becoming significant
而表现为一种力量
and manifests itself as a force
与万有引力对立
that opposes gravitational attraction.
当物质接近黑洞中心时
As matter approaches the heart of a black hole,
扭曲变得如此极端
torsion becomes so extreme
以至于它用强大的力量使周围的物质四处旋转
that it spins the matter around with intense force.
物质没有坍塌为奇点
Matter does not fall into a singular point.
反而，黑洞的中心是漩涡口
Instead, the heart of a black hole is a swirling opening.
物质恰恰不会消失
The matter cannot just disappear.
能量一定是守恒的
The energy must be conserved.
所以所有的物质穿过视界
So all the matter goes through the event horizon
从一个黑洞到另一边的成长中的白洞
from a black hole to the growing white hole on the other side
参与创建新成长的宇宙
and participates in creating new growing universe.
如果尼科德姆是对的
If Nikodem is right,
当恒星的质量塌陷成一个黑洞时
when the mass of a star collapses into a black hole,
它在另一边喷涌出一个白洞
it spews out on the other side as a white hole,
一个易爆的质量和能量源
an explosive fountain of mass and energy
在新的平行宇宙中
in a new parallel universe.
但这个想法不只是适用于
But this idea does not just apply
我们宇宙中的黑洞
to black holes in our Universe.
如果我们假设每一个黑洞的内部
If we assume that every black hole
都产生一个新宇宙
produces a new universe inside,
那么我们的宇宙一定诞生于
then our Universe must have been born in a black hole
另一个宇宙中的黑洞
which exists in another universe.
尼科德姆相信创造我们宇宙的大爆♥炸♥
Nikodem believes the Big Bang that created our Universe
实际上是一个白洞
was actually a white hole
由另一个宇宙的死亡的恒星创造
created in turn by the death of a star in another cosmos,
那个宇宙是我们的母亲
a cosmos that is our parent.
如果这一理论是正确的
And if this theory is correct,
这两个世界之间
there should be a cosmic umbilical cord
应该有一个
between these two worlds,
从来没有被切断的宇宙脐带
one that has never been severed.
如果我们在一个黑洞内
If we are inside a black hole,
那么一定有一个
then there must be a connection
从母宇宙到我们的宇宙的联♥系♥
from the parent universe to our Universe.
这位科学家偶然发现通向另一个宇宙的桥梁了吗？
Has this scientist stumbled upon a bridge to another universe?
在夜晚的天空中奇怪的能量爆发
And could strange bursts of energy in the night sky
实际上会是完全出乎意料的东西吗？
actually be something totally unexpected...
来自于平行宇宙的居民的消息？
messages from the inhabitants of a parallel universe?
黑洞是宇宙中
Black holes are the most terrifying things
最可怕的东西
in the Universe.
掉落其中的任何事物会永远消失
Anything that falls into one is gone forever.
但事物去了哪里了呢？
But where does it go?
答案可能是另一个宇宙
The answer could be another universe.
如果这个想法是正确的
If this idea is right,
黑洞可能是一种把消息发送到
black holes might be a way to send a message
平行宇宙的方式
to a parallel world.
并且还有另一种可能性
And there's another possibility.
来自另一个宇宙的人
Beings from another universe
可能已经尝试过与我们联♥系♥
may already have tried to make contact with us.
物理学家尼科德姆·波普拉瓦斯基相信
Physicist Nikodem Poplawski is convinced
我们的宇宙静止在
that our Universe rests at the bottom of a black hole
平行世界的黑洞的末端
in a parallel world.
并且他正试图探索
And he's trying to discover
在那个平行世界中人们是否
whether beings in that parallel world
可能有一种方法与我们联♥系♥
might have a way to communicate with us.
想象一下
And this is a visualization
当物质和能量走向黑洞时
of what happens to the matter and energy
会发生什么
when it goes to a black hole.
黑洞里面的引力是很强烈的
The gravity inside a black hole is so intense,
如果你跳进一个黑洞
if you jumped into one,
它会撕裂你身体里的每个原子
it would rip apart every atom in your body.
但这并不意味着没有东西可以生存之旅
But that doesn't mean nothing can survive the trip.
现在我要用波兰语写下“时空”这个词
Now I'm going to write the word "Space-time" in Polish,
"Czasoprzesetrzen."
现在我要把它撕下
Now I'm going to rip it off,
并把这一小张纸放到搅拌机中
and I'm going to put little piece of paper to the blender.
接着我要按下按钮
And I'm going to press the button.
无论我想要按住按钮多久
No matter how long I'm going to press the button,
信息仍然存在
the information is still there.
现在信息完全失真
Now it's very distorted.
我们不能轻易地识别出
We cannot easily recognize it.
然而，它在黑洞中
However, it is inside a black hole,
它会出现在另外一面，在白洞内
and it will appear on the other side inside the white hole,
并且我们希望有一天
and we can hope that one day
有人能解读这条信息
someone will be able to decipher this information.
我们的宇宙母亲可能正在给我们发送信息吗？
Could our cosmic parents be sending us messages?
尼科德姆认为我们可能已经已经发现了
Nikodem thinks we may already have detected evidence
她们发信息的证据
that they are.
几十年来，天文学家们获得
For decades, astronomers have picked up
来自宇宙遥远区域的
powerful bursts of energy
巨大能量爆发
coming from the farthest reaches of the cosmos.
伽玛射线爆发是除宇宙大爆♥炸♥以外
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions
我们在我们的宇宙中观察到的最强的爆♥炸♥
that we observe in our Universe besides the Big Bang.
并且我们仍然不是很了解
And we still do not understand well
形成它们的机理
the mechanism that causes them.
我们看到它们从遥远遥远的地方来了
We see them coming from far, far away.
他们可能是从母宇宙来到我们宇宙的
They may be indications of matter
物质的象征
coming from the parent universe to our Universe.
这些能量脉冲实际上会是一种莫尔斯电码形式吗？
Could these pulses of energy actually be a form of Morse Code
来自于另一个宇宙的居民
from inhabitants of another universe,
一个意义深刻的宇宙智慧的消息
a message of profound cosmic wisdom
基于数十亿年的经验
based on billions of years of experience
在我们的宇宙诞生以前？
before our Universe was even born?
尼科德姆的理论还在初期
Nikodem's theory is still young,
并且数学史令人畏惧的
and the math is intimidating.
他可能是错的
He could be wrong.
但在他的扭转平行宇宙的奋争过程中
But in his struggle to wrench parallel universes
从空想的领域
from the realm of fantasy
变成一个严肃的科学可能的领域
to one of serious scientific possibility,
他并不孤独
he is far from alone.
一旦你细想整个多元宇宙这一观点
Once you consider the full multiverse point of view,
你看到一个更广泛的现实描绘
you see a much broader picture of reality.
每当两个不同的事情发生
Whenever two different things happen,
你只会察觉到其中的一个
you would just be aware of one of them.
你会错误地认为没有发生其他的结果
You would think mistakenly that the other outcome didn't happen,
但实际上，你的另一个副本
but in fact, the other copy of you
会感觉其他方式
would feel just the other way around.
我们开始讨论
We start discussing things
以前属于科幻小说的领域的东西
which previously belonged to realm of science fiction.
我们现在正在非常，非常认真地思考
We are right now thinking about this very, very seriously,
而且也许最终我们会找到一些答案
and maybe eventually we will find some answers.
“宇宙”这个词被认为意味着存在的任何事物
The word "Universe" is supposed to mean everything that exists.
今天，我们几乎确定
