The Big Beginning

[Magnus Magnusson]Id like to start,if I may,with Professor Hawking
請允許我請教一下霍金教授
How did the universe start?With a big bang?
大爆炸理論是如何解釋宇宙的起源的？
[Stephen Hawking]We observe that distant galaxies are moving away from us
我們觀察到了星系的紅移現象
They must have been closer together in the past
這意味著遙遠的星係正遠離我們而去
It was the beginning of the universe
這就是宇宙的誕生
And of time itself
和時間的開始
Anything that happened before the big bang
大爆炸前發生的一切
Could not affect what happened after
都無法影響到大爆炸之後
[Richard Dawkins]The poetry of the expanding universe
膨脹的宇宙就如一首唯美的詩
The poetry of the complexity of life
歌頌著宇宙中千萬的文明
Were not normally equipped to understand
渺小的人類很難去理解
And science gives it
但科學讓我們離真理又近了一步
Science is opening your eyes
科學打開你的雙眼
To the wonderfulness of whats there
讓你一睹世界的色彩
Science is opening your eyes
科學拓寬你的眼界
To the poetry of the expanding universe
讓你理解宇宙的真理之詩
Could you help me
您是否能夠用通俗易懂的語言
by putting in laymans terms
給大家講講
What was involved with the big bang
什麼是宇宙大爆炸
The early cosmos was everywhere white hot
嬰兒時期的宇宙處於熾熱的狀態
But then as time passed
隨著時間的流逝
The radiation expanded and cooled
輻射逐漸釋放並且宇宙開始冷卻
Then ,little pockets of gas began to grow
然後呢，小團的氣體開始聚集在一起
Steadily brightening, we call them the galaxies
漸漸變得耀眼，這就是我們的星系
It was the beginning of the universe
我們的世界就此誕生
And of time itself
時間的沙漏開始流逝
Anything that happened before the big bang
大爆炸前發生的一切
Could not affect what happened after
都無法影響到大爆炸之後
The poetryof the expanding universe
膨脹的宇宙就如一首唯美的詩
The poetry of the complexity of life
歌頌著宇宙中千萬的文明
Were not normally equipped to understand
渺小的人類很難去理解
And science gives it
但科學讓我們離真理又近了一步
[Tara Shears]In the big bang we had equal amounts of matter and anti-matter
在大爆炸中，物質和反物質的總量相等
And as soon as they met each other
一旦它們邂逅彼此
They annihilated together
就會發生湮滅現象
And this battle played out
兩者之間發生的戰爭
Whilst the universe expanded
讓我們的宇宙不斷膨脹
In its first minute of existence
從宇宙誕生的第一刻開始
They annihilated together
它們就會發生湮滅
And this battle played out
戰爭之中產生了巨大的能量
Whilst the universe expanded
讓我們的宇宙不斷膨脹
In its first minute of existence
從宇宙誕生的第一刻開始
[Neil Tyson]Its not all that hard to detect the big bang
找到大爆炸的證據並不難
All you need to do is change the channel
你需要做的就是轉換一下電視頻道
Until you come between two stations
證據就在每兩個頻道之間切換時
All you need to do is change the channel
你需要做的就是轉換一下電視頻道
About one percent of the snow and noise
屏幕上雜亂無章的雪花信號和雜音
Comes from the big bang itself
其中蘊藏著大爆炸的信息
Were all eavesdropping
我們都可以感受到
On the birth pangs of the cosmos
宇宙的啼哭
It was the beginning of the universe
屬於我們的故事寫下了第一筆
And of time itself
時間悄悄地流逝
And this battle played out
正反物質之戰不斷地進行著
Science is opening your eyes
科學拓寬你的視野
To the poetry of the expanding universe
讓你理解宇宙的真理之詩
And this battle played out
正反物質之戰仍然不斷地進行著
Whilst the universe expanded
讓我們的宇宙不斷膨脹
In its first minute of existence
從宇宙誕生的第一刻開始
It was the beginning of the universe
世界從混沌之中誕生
And of time itself
時間簡史就此拉開序幕
