A particle does not have just a single path through space and time.
在時(shí)空中 一個(gè)粒子并不只有唯一的路徑
Instead, there is an uncertainty principle according to which both the exact position
相反 有這么一個(gè)不確定原理 它表明 一個(gè)粒子的準(zhǔn)確位置
and velocity of a particle can never be known.
和準(zhǔn)確速度永不可能同時(shí)知道
I began investigating the effect quantum mechanics might have on particles near a black hole.
我開始研究 黑洞附近的粒子上 的量子力學(xué)效應(yīng)
I found that particles could escape from a black hole that black holes are not completely black.
我發(fā)現(xiàn) 粒子實(shí)際上 是可以逃離黑洞的 因此 黑洞并不完全是黑的
At first I didn't believe it.But when I redid the calculations I couldn't get the effect to go away.
一開始連我自己都無法相信這一點(diǎn) 但當(dāng)我又做了一遍計(jì)算之后 我發(fā)現(xiàn)量子力學(xué)的這種效果是無法擺脫的
I met Martin Rees, and he was shaking with excitement and he said, Have you heard? Have you heard what Stephen has discovered?
我見了馬丁·李斯一面 他興奮得都在顫抖 他說 你聽說了沒 那個(gè) 史蒂芬剛剛發(fā)現(xiàn)的東西
Everything is different! Everything is changed!
所有一切都不同了 都顛覆了
I was still unsure of my discovery so I only told a few colleagues but word soon spread.
我對(duì)自己的發(fā)現(xiàn)仍抱有懷疑 所以我只告訴了少數(shù)幾個(gè)同事 不過消息傳得飛快
Roger Penrose phoned up on my birthday.
羅杰·彭羅斯在我生日當(dāng)天打來電話
He was very excited and went on so long that my birthday dinner got quite cold.
他興奮之極 跟我聊得根本停不下來 于是我的生日晚宴就被冷落了
It was a great pity, because it was goose which I'm very fond of.
真遺憾 晚宴上有鵝肉誒 我超喜歡的
To me it's a miracle,'cause it's a complicated and messy calculation.
對(duì)我而言 那簡(jiǎn)直就是個(gè)奇跡 因?yàn)橛?jì)算過程復(fù)雜又混亂
We can now do these things very much better and it's more transparent what happens.
當(dāng)今這個(gè)時(shí)代我們?cè)僮鲞@事兒就會(huì)順手得多 而且發(fā)生的事情看起來更加明晰
But out of this messy calculation, he showed that black holes aren't black with this quantum mechanical effect.
從這些混亂的計(jì)算中 他得出的結(jié)論是 黑洞在量子力學(xué)效應(yīng)下 并不是黑的
There was a residual radiation.Stephen came to a meeting and people were flabbergasted.
宇宙中存在一種背景輻射 史蒂芬參加一次會(huì)議 人群一陣騷動(dòng)
I remember someone saying, You must be wrong, Stephen.I don't believe a word of it.
我記得有人說 史蒂芬你肯定錯(cuò)了 你的理論我一句話都不信
