So, tell me about your day, how's it going with the particle detector?
跟我說說你今天干了什么吧。粒子探測器的進展如何？
Wow! You remember that?
哇！你還記著這個？
Yeah, I listen to what you say. You're building a particle detector using superfluid helium.
當然，你的話我都有好好聽。你正在用超流氦打造一個粒子探測器。
You know, when you talk like that, I want to take you right here on this table.
你說這些的時候，我真想立馬把你按倒在這餐桌上。
And you know from past experience this table cannot support both our weight. So, how's the detector going?
根據(jù)以往的經(jīng)驗，這張桌子可承受不起我倆的重量。所以，你那探測器做得怎么樣了？
Well, it's tricky working with superfluids. Whatever container you put them in, they kind of creep up the sides and crawl out all on their own.
超流體這玩意還挺難搞。不管放進什么容器里，它都會從邊上滲出來慢慢逃逸掉。
Kind of like Sheldon's ant farm.
有點像謝爾頓的螞蟻農(nóng)場。
Exactly, except you don't have a lunatic running around, yelling, "I fed you sugar water, why are you biting me?"
完全正確，只是這次不會有個瘋子在旁邊邊跳邊喊：“ 我喂了你們糖水喝，為毛要咬我？”
Come on, this is boring, you really want to talk about this?
這太無聊了。你不會真想談這個吧？
No, I do. I-I didn't write "superfluid helium" on this napkin for nothing.
我真的想聽。我特意把超流氦寫在餐巾紙上可不是白費的。
Okay, well...This is cool.
好吧...有個想法挺有趣的。
Uh, there's a thing called "superfluid vacuum theory", where empty space is imagined as a superfluid with all of its qualities-- viscosity, density, surface tension...
有一種理論叫超流體真空論，它把時空本身設定為是一個具有各種特質的液態(tài)超流體。粘度 、密度 、表面張力...
Hey, if you're pausing for dramatic effect, I'd keep it moving.
如果你暫停是為了戲劇效果，你還是繼續(xù)說吧。
No, no. People don't talk about surface tension. If you imagine our three-space as the surface of an N-dimensional superfluid bubble...
不。其他人都沒提到表面張力。如果你把三維空間想象為一個N維空間的超流體氣泡的表面...
This...is exciting. This is really exciting. I have to go find Sheldon.
這個...這個想法太有趣了。真的很有意思。我得去找謝爾頓了。
Okay, well, if you find him, use the kitchen island, that coffee table will not support both of you.
如果你找到他，記得按倒到在廚房的島臺上，咖啡桌可承受不起你倆的重量。
