When you come to imaginary time,you have this rather peculiar possibility
當(dāng)你進(jìn)入虛時間 你就有這種相當(dāng)特殊的可能性
of having a "now,"as it were without necessarily having a sort of a chain of past moments.
擁有"現(xiàn)在" 它不需要 建立在過去的基礎(chǔ)上
If we start where we are at the moment and start running backwards in time
如果我從我們所處的瞬間開始 跑向過去的時光
then for a long time, things work perfectly normally.
那么在很長的一段時間里 事物都會非常正常的運(yùn)作
But as you begin to get further and further back towards
但是當(dāng)你往前越走越遠(yuǎn)時
what would be the origin point in the conventional real-time picture,you'd find that the nature of time changes
當(dāng)你愈發(fā)遠(yuǎn)離傳統(tǒng)的實時間圖像時 你就能發(fā)現(xiàn)時間的性質(zhì)改變了
that the imaginary component becomes more and more prominent
虛的一部分越來越顯著
until what ought to have been the singular point in the classical theory
直到進(jìn)入經(jīng)典理論的奇點
gets smoothed away, and you have this beautiful picture of these bowls where the creation of the universe is pictures
才變得光滑 然后你就看到這個美麗的碗的畫面 宇宙誕生的碗
of where we are now, and a smooth bowl of the past where there's no initial point, just a sort of smooth shape.
我們現(xiàn)在在這 光滑的碗是過去 那里沒有奇點 只是光滑的形狀
So long as the universe had a beginning We could suppose it had a creator.
只要宇宙有一個起點 我們就應(yīng)該有一個創(chuàng)造者
But if the universe is completely self-contained having no boundary or edge
但是如果宇宙是完全獨立的 無限并且無界
it would neither be created nor destroyed.
它就不會被創(chuàng)造或者毀滅
It would simply be.What place, then, for a creator?
它很簡單地存在著 那么 把創(chuàng)世者擺在什么位置
