Stephen Hawking sings Mont用Python… Galaxy song
布朗太太,當你覺得生活不幸
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
當你覺得諸事艱難
And things seem hard or tough
當你覺得眾人愚蠢、厭惡
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
當你覺得你受夠了
And you feel that youve had quite enough
請記住,你所在的星球在不斷進化
在以900英里每小時的速度自轉
Just remember that youre standing on a planet thats evolving
在以19英里每小時的速度圍繞著
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
我們所有能源的源頭——太陽公轉
Thats orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so its reckoned
太陽、你、我,以及我們所有能看到的恆星
A sun that is the source of all our power
每天要移動上百萬英里
我們在這個星系的外旋臂,1小時移動4萬英里
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
我們稱它叫做“銀河”
Are moving at a million miles a day
我們的星系擁有數百億恒星
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
每個恆星相隔數万光年
Of the galaxy we call the milky way
銀河系中間是一個膨脹體,直徑超過16000光年
但我們只能看見其中3000光年
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
一個來回要兩百萬年
Its a hundred thousand light years side to side
而銀河系在這個不斷膨脹的多彩宇宙中
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
只是幾百萬數十億星系中的一個
But out by us, its just three thousand light years wide
在這個神奇的膨脹的宇宙中
宇宙本身在不斷膨脹膨脹
Were thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
在向四面八方呼嘯而去
We go round every two hundred million years
以最快的速度——光的速度
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
每分鐘一千二百萬公里( 299,792,458 m/s ),這就是最快的速度
In this amazing and expanding universe
當你覺得十分渺小,十分不安
你的出生是多麼神奇的一件事~
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
祈願宇宙中某個地方有智慧的生命——
In all of the directions it can whizz
因為地球上到處是煩人的瑣事。
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and thats the fastest speed there is
So remember, when youre feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that theres intelligent life somewhere up in space
Cause theres bugger all down here on Earth
