When people first hear about the Big Bang theory, they say, well, where did it take place?
當人們第一次聽說大爆炸理論時會問道，那么它發生于哪里呢？
It took place over there? It took place over there? Where did it take place?
它在這里發生？在那里發生？它到底發生在哪里？
Actually, it took place everywhere. Because the universe itself was extremely small at that time.
事實上，它發生在每個地方。因為那時宇宙極其渺小。
He’s rallied some of the most abstract and difficult concepts there are. So, here is a mind bender. What came before the Big Bang?
這里匯集了世界上最抽象最難懂的概念。還有一個傷腦筋的問題，大爆炸之前是什么樣子？
The philosophers in ancient times, you should say, how could something arise from nothing.
根據古代哲學家們的思想，你會問物質怎么會憑空生成呢？
And what is amazing to me is that the Laws of Physics allow that to happen.
更讓我吃驚的是物理學定律也同意這個說法。
And it means that our whole universe, everything we see, everything that matters does today could have arisen out of precisely nothing.
這就意味著我們整個宇宙，人類看見的任何事物，現代社會看重的一切都可能是無中生有。
It's one of the biggest hurdles to understanding the Big Bang.
這是人類要了解大爆炸就必須克服的最大障礙之一。
First, you have to buy into the premise that something was created out of nothing.
首先，你必須借鑒這個假設，萬物不是由物質生成或轉化而來的。
It's impossible to describe the moment of creation in human language.
人類語言也無法描述萬物形成的那一刻。
All we know is that from what may have been nothing, we go to a state of almost infinite density and infinite temperature and infinite violence.
我們只知道宇宙處于一種密度極大，溫度極高，內部極度不穩定的太初狀態。
Understanding how nothing turned into something may be the greatest mystery of our universe.
了解萬物從無到有的過程也許就是最大的宇宙之謎。
But if you understand that you start to understand the Big Bang when time and space began and the great biggest explosion created everything.
明白這一點，你就已經開始了解時空開始時的大爆炸，了解是這場最大的爆炸造就了萬物。
At the dawn of time, the universe explodes into existence from absolutely nothing into everything.
在時間之初，宇宙從無到有發生爆炸，逐步形成現在的大千世界。
But everything is actually a single point, infinitely small, unimaginably hot, a superdense speck of pure energy.
但實際上一切物質最初匯聚于一點，一個體積無限小，溫度密度高得難以想象的純能量粒子。
The Big Bang was so immense that it brought into existence,
大爆炸規模太大，因此就形成了，
all of the mass and all of the energy contained in all of the 400 billion galaxies we see in our universe in a region smaller than the size of a single atom.
這個大千世界，這個人類能觀測到的4000億個星河，而最初它們比一個原子還小。
The entire observable universe was a millionth of a billionth of a centimeter across at that time. Everything was compressed into an incredibly hot, dense region.
在那時整個可觀測到的宇宙也不過只有千萬億分之一毫米大。一切都被壓縮在一個溫度極高，密度極大的區域里。
