You can't beat the bandwidth of a 747 filled with hard discs.
沒有哪個網(wǎng)絡比一架滿載硬盤的波音747飛機更快的了。
And so, I guess a few weeks or a few months ago, on a computer screen somewhere, this started to come into view. This moment.
那么我猜，在幾周或幾個月前，在某地一臺電腦的顯示器上，黑洞的形象在那一刻漸漸成形。
Well, it took a long time. I mean, look at this. That was it. That was the first image.
嗯，這花了好一會兒工夫。看看這張照片。這就是黑洞。這就是黑洞的第一張照片。
So tell us what we're really looking at there. I still love it.
給我們介紹一下這張照片吧。我依然非常喜歡這張照片。
So what you're seeing is that last orbit of photons. You're seeing Einstein's geometry laid bare.
現(xiàn)在你所看到的是光子最后一次運動的軌跡。愛因斯坦的幾何學說徹底展現(xiàn)在你們眼前。
The puncture in space-time is so deep that light moves around in orbit, so that light behind the black hole,
這次對時空的撞擊之深，使得光子在軌道上繞圈，這樣黑洞身后的光，
as I think we'll see soon, moves around and comes to us on these parallel lines at exactly that orbit.
我覺得我們馬上就可以看到它了，就會繞圈，并且在這個軌道上的平行光線馬上就會來到我們這里。
It turns out, that orbit is the square root of 27 times just a handful of fundamental constants. It's extraordinary when you think about it.
事實上，這個軌道是27的平方根，與一些基本常數(shù)相乘。如果你認真思考，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)它非常奇妙。
When ... In my head, initially, when I thought of black holes, I'm thinking that is the event horizon,
當……在我腦海里，我最初認為黑洞就是一個事件視界。
there's lots of matter and light whirling around in that shape. But it's actually more complicated than that.
有許多物質和光線圍繞著它轉。但事實遠比我想象的要復雜。
Well, talk us through this animation, because it's light being lensed around it.
給我們解釋一下這個動畫，它展現(xiàn)了光正在透過這個黑洞。
