比如

时间旅行可能吗

Such as is time travel

possible?

我们能打开通往过去之门吗

Can

we

open

a

portal to the past?

或者找到通往未来的捷径

Or find a shortcut

to the future?

我们最终能利用

Can

we

ultimately

use

the

laws of nature

自然规律操纵时间吗

to

become

masters

of

time itself?

一起去探索吧

Check it out.

时间旅行

时间旅行曾一度被当作科学邪说

Time travel

was once considered scientific heresy.

由于害怕被贴上科学怪人的标签

I

used

to

avoid talking about it

我过去常常避免谈及此事

for

fear

of

being

labeled a crank.

现如今

我不会再顾虑这些

But

these

days,

I'm not so cautious.

实际上

我更像是建造巨石阵的那些人

In

fact,

I'm

more

like

the

people

who

built

stonehenge.

我对时间着迷了

I'm obsessed by time.

若我有台时间机器

If had a time machine

我想去拜访鼎盛时期的玛丽莲·

梦 露

I'd visit

Marilyn Monroe in her prime

或者去拜访正用望远镜

or drop in on Galileo

as

he turned his telescope to

the heavens.

我甚至想穿越到宇宙的尽头

Perhaps

I'd

even travel to the end of the universe

去探寻宇宙的完整故事结局

to

find

out

how

our whole cosmic story ends.

要验证这些想法能否实现

To

see

how

this

might be possible,

我们需要像物理学家那样

we need to look at

time as physicists do

以

四

维

的

< br>角

度

看

时

间

as

the

fourth

dimension.

四维时空并不像听起来那样令人费解

It's

not as hard as it sounds.

所

有的物

体

甚

至是我和

我的椅

子

All

physical objects, even me and my chair,

都是三维的

exist in three dimensions.

任何事物都有宽度

高度和长度

Everything

has a width and a height and a length.

但是还存在另一种维度

即时间维度

But

there

is

another

kind

of

length

--

a

length

in

time.

与人类的

80

While

a

human

may survive for 80 years,

这些石头延续得更久远

these stones will last

much longer

甚至长达数千年

-- for thousands of years.

而太阳系则能达到数十亿年

And

the

solar

system will last for billions of years.

所有事物在时间上都有长度

Everything

has

a length in time,

在空间内同样如此

as well as space.

时间旅行意味着

Traveling in time means

穿越第四维时空

traveling through this fourth

dimension.

为更好地理解

我们以日常旅行为例

To see

what that means, let's do a bit of normal

来直观体会一下四维时空的含义

everyday

traveling just to get a feel for it.

一辆高速行驶的车能让实验变得更生动

A

fast car makes it a bit more fun.

在一条直线上行驶

是在一维空间内

Drive

in

a

straight

line,

and

you're

traveling

in

one

dimension.

左转或右转

就增加了第二维空间

Turn

right

or

left,

and

you

add

the

second

dimension.

在蜿蜒的山路上下颠簸

Drive

up

or

down

a

twisty mountain road,

就增加了高度的维度

and that adds height.

这样就算是在三维空间内行驶了

So

that's

traveling in all three dimensions.

但我们究竟要怎样才能实现时间旅行呢

But

how on earth do we travel in time?

怎样才能找到一条

How do we find a path

通往第四维空间的路呢

through

the

fourth

dimension?

让我们用一个小小的科幻情节放松一下

Let's

indulge

in

a

little

science

fiction

for

a

moment.

出现一个巨型高耗能机器

这台机器开辟了一条通往四维空间的道路

The machine creates a path through the fourth

dimension,

一条时间隧道

a tunnel through time.

这种构想兴许有些牵强

the

may be very different than this,

但想法本身并没那么疯狂

物理学家也一直在为时间隧道绞尽脑汁

Physicists have been thinking about tunnels in

time,too,

不过我们要从另一个角度来揭示这个问题

but we covered it from a different angle.
