Scale this up to the universe as a whole,and it gets even weirder.
把此實驗提升到整個宇宙的層次 就會變得更光怪陸離
If reality depends on where you are.
若現實取決于人的位置
Then how can you know what's really going on in the universe.
那宇宙的實際狀況又該如何得知
What's more,what chance do we stand to finding the key.
更重要的是 我們查出的幾率有多大
to how the universe works if we can't even tell if.
有關宇宙運作關鍵 如果我們自己都無法判定了
two events are simultaneous or not.
兩件事是否同時發生
Don't worry,because Einstein thankfully came out with the answer.
別擔心 因為幸好愛因斯坦提出了解答
in his famous theory of special relativity.
在他著名的狹義相對論當中
Einstein proposed that reality is flexible because time itself is flexible.
愛因斯坦提出彈性現實的理論 因為時間本身就有彈性
It might sound strange,but this flexibility is just the start.
這聽來可能很怪異 但這種彈性卻開啟了
of a whole new concept in physics.
在物理學上全新的概念
Einstein went down to suggest that just like magnetism,electricity and light.
愛因斯坦繼續主張 就像磁性、電力和光線一樣
both time and space are inextricably linked in what he called "spacetime".
時間和空間都在彼此糾結 在他所稱作"時空"中
This spacetime is flexible as well.
而這個時空也有彈性
It can be bended and warped by the shear mass of heavy things
時空的彎曲變形取決于重物的質量
like stars,and planets and galaxies.
好比恒星、行星 以及星系
