与摩根·弗里曼一起穿越虫洞（2010）

Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman S02E05

Part 4 April 19, 2021, 2:35 p.m.

地球的磁场就像是大海的波涛
Earth's magnetic field is like an ocean rippling with waves.
我们大脑的电活动
Electrical activity from our brains
能够处在风口浪尖
can surf along on top of it,
从一个人传递给另一个人
passing from one person to another.
这是个激进的想法
It's a radical idea,
不过迈克尔设计了一个精心的实验
but Michael has designed an elaborate experiment
来对此进行测试
to put it to the test.
无论如何你都别钻到他的脑袋里去
And whatever you do, don't drill into his head.
环钻术在加拿大是不合法的
Trephining is outlawed in Canada.
他的研究小组安排了两个课题曼迪和马克
His team placed two subjects, Mandy and Mark,
分别在相距20英尺的房♥间里
in rooms 20 feet apart.
房♥间相互之间是
The rooms are acoustically and visually isolated
声光隔离的
from one another.
他们还完全屏蔽掉
They are also completely shielded
地球的磁场
from Earth's magnetic field.
迈克尔换上了
Michael replaces that
精心控制的磁场由他亲自设计的
with a precisely controlled magnetic field of his own design
产生于这个头戴的电子线圈
generated by electrical coils on this headband.
如此一来他就能够确保
In this way, he can be sure
曼迪和马克经受到完全相同的磁场
that Mandy and Mark experience identical magnetic fields.
通过对相距一段距离的
By producing the same complex configuration
两个不同的大脑
of a magnetic field in two different brains
产生同样复杂编排的磁场
at a distance,
你基本上模仿的是
you're basically imitating what happens in nature
地球磁场实际情况
in the Earth's magnetic field.
我要关灯了
I'm going to turn off the lights,
我将全程记录你的脑电图
and I'll be recording your E.E.G. the entire time.
我们的确将能够看到他们的脑活动
And we'll be able to see if, indeed, their brain activity
是否相同一旦他们分享同样的磁场的话
is the same once they share the same magnetic field.
在接下来的20分钟里
Over the course of the next 20 minutes,
马克那里的灯将闪烁几次
a light will flash at Mark several times
期间曼迪在其黑暗的房♥间里不受干扰
while Mandy remains undisturbed in her darkened room.
迈克尔和他的小组
Michael and his team
监视着他俩的大脑活动
monitor both of their brains' activity.
三分钟后马克房♥间里的灯
Three minutes in, the light begins to flash
开始闪烁
in Mark's room.
你可以看到一个峰值出现在那里
You can see a nice spike right there.
约5分钟后
About five minutes later,
灯光再次闪烁
the light flashes again.
同样的强度其实甚至对这个人你都可以看到峰值
Same intensity. Actually, you can see the spikes even in this one.
曼迪的脑活动的飙升
Mandy's brain activity
恰好就是马克看到闪烁的灯光的时候
spiked right at the time mark saw the flashing light.
现在伯辛格博士的小组需要知道
Now Dr. Persinger's team need to know
曼迪在她坐在暗房♥里的感受
what Mandy experienced while she sat in the dark.
约三分钟时
Well, at about three minutes in,
在我的左眼的左侧
in my left visual field of my left eye,
我感受到了闪光
I experienced a bright flash.
它很短暂
And it lasted very briefly,
其感觉就好像是再次消逝在黑暗中
and it felt like it just sort of faded into the darkness again.
在约6到8分钟后
Later on at around six to eight minutes in,
我看到有闪光在我的右侧
I had a flash in my right peripheral field.
在灯光对一个人闪烁时
When the light was flashing to one,
产生了所有这些变化
producing all these changes,
另一个人的大脑活动
the other person's brain activity,
即使他们处在暗处
even though they were in the dark,
同样也发生了变化
also changed.
实验似乎表明
The experiment seems to show
不同地点的两个大脑
that two brains in separate locations
可以共享一个经历
can share a single experience.
人的思想并不是非物理的
Human thoughts are not non-physical.
它们是动作电位的物理单元
They are physical units of action potentials
出自神经本身
from the nerve itself.
它们能跨越空间传送么？
Can they be transmitted across space?
在某种条件下绝对可以
Under certain conditions, absolutely,
对此是有证据的
and there's evidence for it.
如果我们有70亿个人脑
If we have seven billion human brains
全都沉没于磁场中这样它们就
all immersed in the magnetic field, which they are,
一个发生变化如果它是联♥系♥的
then a change in one, if it's connected --
我们因为有磁力线
and we are 'cause the magnetic flux lines
正好经过我们正好经过我们的大脑
go right through us, right through our brains --
于是一个人的变化就能影响到每一个人
then a change in one could influence everyone.
迈克尔·伯辛格认为他已经证明了
Michael Persinger believes he has evidence
第六感的原始形态
for a primitive form of sixth sense --
能够分享
an ability to share simple sensations
远离我们的人的简单感觉
with people who are far away from us.
不过我们的感觉或许不光能穿越空间
But our senses may not just be able to travel across space.
它们或许能够穿越时间
They may be able to reach out across time
感觉到未来
and feel the future.
科学全都是似乎难以相信的想法
Science is full of ideas that seem hard to believe.
来看量子力学
Take quantum mechanics.
在这个亚原子的陌生世界里
In this strange world of subatomic physics,
粒子可以同时身处两地
a particle can be in two places at once...
直到我们看到它
Until we look at it.
多数物理学家会告诉你
Most physicists will tell you
粒子的归宿之地就是掷骰子
where the particle ends up is just a roll of the dice.
不过有另一个理论
But there's another theory.
我的心智
My conscious mind
可能受到这个亚原子世界的控制
could be controlling this subatomic world.
第六感
And the sixth sense
可能就是产生宇宙时间的东西
could be what makes the universe tick.
加来道雄是个理论物理学家
Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist.
作为弦理论的先驱
As a pioneer of string theory,
该理论认为世界实际上是九维的
which proposes the world is actually nine-dimensional,
他认为科学家需要
he believes scientists need to keep an open mind
对第六感保持开放的心态
about the sixth sense,
无论它听上去有多怪异
no matter how strange it may sound.
我们物理学家是保守的革命家
We physicists are conservative revolutionaries
一定意义上我们得直面
in the sense that we have to be open
各种疯狂怪异的现象
to all sorts of crazy, bizarre phenomenon.
谁会想到
Who would have thought
有所谓的放射性的东西呢？
that there's something called radioactivity?
谁会想到我们会有量子力呢？
Who would have thought that we would have quantum forces?
所以我们得直面这些东西
So we have to be open to these things.
空前最成功的物理理论
The most successful physical theory of all time
就叫做量子力学原子的理论
is called quantum mechanics, the theory of the atom,
因为它的基础概念就是概率
because it's based on the idea of probabilities,
你实际上并不知道电子在哪里
that you don't really know where an electron is.
电子的存在某种意义上
And electrons can exist, in some sense,
可以同时有多种状态
in multiple states at the same time.
亚原子粒子的不确定性
The fuzzy nature of subatomic particles
或许就提供了一个途径来解释第六感
might just provide a way to explain the sixth sense.
薛定谔
Erwin Schrodinger,
量子力学的奠基人之一
one of the founders of quantum mechanics,
设计了一个思想实验来阐明
designed a thought experiment to drive home
其理论的奇怪规则
the strange rules of his theory.
比方说我们将一只猫和一瓶毒药放在一个盒子里
Let's say we put a cat and a vial of poison in a box.
我们放入一个放射性铀原子
We add an atom of radioactive uranium
和一个盖革计数器
and a geiger counter.
如果铀原子发生衰变它就会启动盖革计数器
If the uranium decays, it sets off the geiger counter,
于是就释放出毒药默默地毒死小猫
which then releases the poison and silently kills the cat.
在我们打开盒子观察之前
Before we open the box and look,
我们其实无法得知铀衰变与否
we can't actually know whether the uranium has decayed or not
因为放射性衰变
since radioactive decay
是一个概率量子事件
is a probabilistic quantum event.
问题来了
Here's the question.
猫是死是活呢？
Is the cat dead or alive?
这个根据量子力学
Well, according to quantum mechanics,
猫既没死也没活着
the cat is neither dead nor alive
而是这两种形态并存
but the sum of the two states.
那好此时你会说别胡说八道了
Well, at that point, you say, "Well, that's nonsense.
