To get your head rumished,let's return to that idea that the.
為了讓大家了解 我們再來回顧這種講法
strings of string theory unlike notes played by a string quartet.
弦理論的弦就像 四重奏演奏的音符一樣
Each vibration of the strings gives rise to the fundamental particles and to the forces of nature.
弦每次振動都會 產生基本粒子和自然力
which between them,make up everything in the universe.
兩者結合后進一步生成宇宙萬物
But of course,the quartet could just as well be playing a different tune.
當然 四重奏可以用不同的振動音符來
with different vibrating notes.And mathematically,that different tune.
演奏不同的弦樂 從數學的角度看 不同的旋律
would produce different particles and different forces of nature.
會產生不同的粒子和自然力
Meaning,a different universe.Change again,and that's another universe.
也就是不同的宇宙 再變又會產生另一個宇宙
So just as there are an endless number of possible tunes,
所以正因為是沒完沒了 數之不盡的
so our universe must be just.one of billions of universes.
因此人類的宇宙必定 只是幾十億個宇宙之一
We can't see them because they are beyond the limits.of our own universe.
我們無法看見 因為它們已超出極限 人類宇宙
Each with their own history and properties.
每個宇宙都有各自的歷史和特性
Some are unstable and collapse back to where they came from.
有些因不穩定而又崩毀回復原裝
Some will produce no stars or planets and so be dark and cold.
有些并未生成恒星或行星 因此既陰暗又寒冷
Others will expand and go on to produce stars and galaxies.like ours.
有些則會膨脹 不斷生成恒星和星系 類似我們的
As we pounder mist,we should not be surprised.
思索這個問題時 我們不需感到意外
to find ourselves in a universe that is perfect for us.
人類身處的完美宇宙 因為人類可以生存,
Our very presence means our universe must be just right.
表示我們的宇宙正好合適
So the search for the key to the universe.
因此探索宇宙的關鍵
has had one unexpected result:We have found the key to every other universe,too.
已有意外的收獲 我們同時發現了其它宇宙的關鍵
It seems that M-theory is a system of laws that governs everything:The Grand Design.
M理論似乎是支配萬物的一套定律 也就是大設計
