-I asked for it.
想接近你们这些实验物理学家
Wanted to be close to you experimentalists.
理论总是灰色的
Theory will get you only so far.
我们正在建造一台电子加速器
We’re building a machine to accelerate electrons.
太神奇了
Magnificent.
你愿意帮忙吗？
Would you like to help?
建造? 哦 不 不 不
Build it? Oh, no. No, no.
但我正在研究一些理论 我想用它来检验一下
But I am working on theories I’d like to test with it.
你什么时候开始教书？
When do you start teaching?
一个小时后就开始第一个
I’ve got my first in an hour.
-研讨会？
-学生
-Seminar?
-Pupil.
一个学生? 就一个？
One student? That’s it?
我在教一些这里没有人梦想过的东西
I’m teaching something no one here has dreamt of.
但一旦人们开始听说你能用它做什么……
But once people start hearing what you can do with it…
就回不去了
There’s no going back.
-哦 我一定走错……
-洛曼尼茨先生？
-Oh, I must have missed the…
-Mr. Lomanitz?
-是我
-是的 就是这里
-Yeah.
-Yes, this is it.
请坐
Please, take a seat.
你对量子力学了解多少？
What do you know about quantum mechanics?
只知道些皮毛
I have a grasp on the basics.
那你就错了
Then you’re doing it wrong.
生命是由粒子还是波组成的？
Is life made up of particles or waves?
量子力学说两者都是 怎么可能两者都是？
Quantum mechanics says it’s both. How can it be both?
-不可能
-不可能
-It can’t.
-It can’t.
但事实如此
But it is.
这是矛盾的 但是 很有用
It’s paradoxical, and yet, it works.
谢谢
Thank you.
洛曼尼茨先生 你会没事的
Mr. Lomanitz. You’re gonna be okay.
斯奈德先生
Mr. Snyder.
现在 让我们谈一谈星星
Now, let’s consider a star.
一颗恒星 就像一个在外太空燃烧的巨大熔炉
A star, a vast furnace burning in outer space,
火焰克服自身重力向外推进 保持平衡
fire pushing outwards against its own gravity, balanced.
但一旦炉子冷却了
But if that furnace cools,
重力开始占上风 它就会收缩
and gravity starts winning, it contracts.
-密度增加
-正确
-Density increases.
-Correct.
-重力增加
-密度增加
-Increasing gravity.
-Increasing density.
-然后呢？
-这是一个恶性循环 直到……
-And?
-It’s a vicious cycle until…
循环的尽头是什么？
What’s the limit here?
我不知道 看看数学怎么说
I don’t know. See where the math takes us.
我保证那是我们之前没人去过的地方
I guarantee it’s somewhere no one’s been before us.
我？
Me?
是的 你 你的数学比我好
Yes, you. Your math is better than mine.
在奥本海默博士的档案里
Dr. Oppenheimer’s file contained details
有他在伯克利活动的详细信息
