已经过了200,000万年，自从人类第一次出现在… It's been 200,000 years since humans first emerged
东非的大裂谷 in the Rift Valley of East Africa.
从那时开始 我们学会了去思考 Since then, we've learnt to think,
去梦想，去合作 to dream, to work together.
今日我们人类文明跨越了地球 And today our human civilisation spans the globe...
到更远 and beyond.
但是我们的星球只是微不足道的一颗灰尘… But our planet is a tiny fragile speck of life in a vast,
漂浮在浩瀚无边的宇宙之中 uncaring universe.
所以当猿人飞进太空后，下一步是什么？ So what next for the apes who went to space?
LOW VOICES SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE
这个在西班牙北部的洞穴，被人类居住… This cave mouth in northern Spain has been inhabited
长达150,000年 for 150,000 years.
这是基本的避难所，保障安全 There's basic shelter here and safety.
但是一次又一次 But from time to time,
他们离开明亮的地方，进入黑暗 they left the light behind and headed into the dark.
在这个洞穴里，你可以看到从只是求生存… In these caves you see the transition from just surviving
转变到去生活，去观察世界，并乐在其中 to living, to observing the world, to enjoying it.
他们聚集在这里，人们一起创作艺术 There were gatherings here, people coming together to make art
不仅仅是古老艺术，他们有非常具体的表现… and not just any old art, but specific representations
对特别的动物和特别的符号 of particular animals and particular symbols.
在这个洞穴，我们可以看到迷信的开始 So in these caves we see the beginnings of superstition,
开始能欣赏生命不是只有当下 the beginnings of an appreciation that there's not just a present
还有过去和未来 but there's a past and there's a future.
这些早期艺术家，留下了讯息给未来的世代 These early artists were leaving messages to future generations.
其中一个最大声的讯息，躺在更深的黑暗之中 And the one that speaks loudest lies far deeper into the darkness.
这个手印曾是一个小孩子制作的，最少35,000年前 This handprint was made by a child at least 35,000 years ago
我们认为应该是一个小女孩 and it's thought it was made by a little girl.
她制作的方法是，把颜料吹过… She'd have done the painting by taking paint and blowing it through
她的手 her hand...
到洞穴的墙上 ..onto the wall of the cave.
现在，她对自己的未来已经有基本的了解 Now, she would have had a basic understanding of her future,
她会知道四季更迭 she'd have known that the seasons pass
也许她会期待未来有一天，可以回到这洞穴 and maybe she even looked forward to coming back to this cave one day.
在墙上留下记号，显示了她开始了一段旅程… Leaving her mark upon the wall suggests she had started down
去了解时间是如何延伸出去… the road of understanding time and how it stretched out
一直到未来 into the future.
40,000年来，我们学习去了解了更多… In 40,000 years, we've learned to see further ahead than
她根本无法想像的事 she could possibly have imagined.
我们走进了更宽阔的世界 We've walked out into a wider world
并把它变成我们的 and made it our own.
但现在，我们来到十字路口 And right now we are at a crossroads.
我们的文明拥用力量去塑造… Our civilisation holds the power to shape the future
整个星球的未来 of the whole planet.
我想我们对未来的关心远远不够 I think we pay far too little attention to the future
去照亮周围、去预测的能力，是我们独一无二的 and the ability to illuminate it, to predict it is unique to us
而我们的繁荣，我们的生存 and our prosperity, and our very survival
就要看我们在那远处的黑暗之中，瞥见了什么 depend very much on what we glimpse out there in the dark.
科学和理性就是火把，而在这部影片中，我想要说服你… Science and reason are the flames and in this film I want to convince
我们必须要使用它们，让光明显现。 you that we must use them to make the darkness visible.
THEY CHAT QUIETLY
在6月底，地球最北边的居民在准备… In late June, Earth's most northerly community are preparing
庆祝他们一年之中重要的转捩点 to celebrate an important turning point of their year.
夏天是最好的时光
我喜欢长长的夏日
黑暗的月份结束了是很棒的
阳光无时不刻的照耀着
这是北极的仲夏，而斯瓦尔巴的居民… It's midsummer in the Arctic, and the people of Svalbard
正接近太阳到达天空中最高点的时刻 are approaching the moment when the sun rides highest in the sky,
夏至 the summer solstice.
如果我在曼彻斯特，我会说这是最长的一天 If I were in Manchester I'd say this was the longest day,
但那种说法在这里完全没道理，北78度 but that kind of language doesn't make sense here, 78 degrees north
挪威北部和北极圈的中间点 and midway between northern Norway and the Arctic Circle
因为这一天，夏天，从4月20日开始 cos this day, summer's day, began on April the 20th
直到8月23日才会结束 and it will end on August the 23rd.
我们可以精准的预测至点的时间 We can predict exactly the moment that the solstice arrives.
所以像这不可思议的无尽长日，它为什么会发生？ So as strange as this long day feels, there is no mystery
并没有什么神秘 as to why it takes place.
THEY SING
漫长的极夜和极昼会发生的原因… The reason for that long polar night and the months of midnight sun
是太阳系的几何学 is the geometry of the solar system.
斯瓦尔巴可以说是世界的最顶点，你可以感觉到 Svalbard is quite literally on top of the world and you feel it
当你在这里，很明显的… when you're here, it's obvious.
太阳不会落下，现在它就在那附近 The sun doesn't set, it's somewhere over there at the moment
它一整天的路线，就是沿着地平线移动 and throughout the course of the day it just moves along the horizon
划一个圆，360度，就像地球把北极… right round, 360 degrees as the Earth rotates with the North Pole
直接的对准太阳转 pointing directly towards the sun.
当这个地方在1590年被发现的时候 And when this place was discovered back in the 1590s,
人们并不知道这些，或至少不是大家都同意的 people didn't know that, or at least it wasn't agreed upon,
还存在许多人相信和主张，往那边在义大利… it was still possible and indeed argued, back down there towards
的中纬线，地球才是宇宙的中心 the equator in Italy, that the Earth was at the centre of the universe.
很明显不是，如果你来这里的话 It's obvious that it isn't when you come up here.
我好奇如果伽利略，哥白尼和布鲁诺… I wonder what would have happened if Galileo and Copernicus and Bruno
和其他人如果拜访斯瓦尔巴。我想那所有的事… and others had visited Svalbard. I think that everything would have
就会简单的多了 got worked out much earlier.
经过了千年来的观察 After thousands of years of observation,
我们好奇的心智开始发展出一个宇宙的模型 our inquisitive minds began to develop models of the universe.
太阳系机械原理的全盘解释 The full explanation for the clockwork of the solar system
来到1680年代，艾萨克·牛顿和他对于重力的定律 came in the 1680s, with Isaac Newton and his universal law
是第一个现代的自然定律 of gravitation, which is the first modern law of nature.
牛顿的定律让你能够做到的是… What Newton's laws allow you to do is to predict the future
用现有的知识，去预测未来 given a knowledge of the present.
牛顿的定律描述了一个规律的宇宙 Newton's laws describe a clockwork universe.
行星围绕着恒星 Planets orbiting stars,
恒星围绕着星系 stars orbiting galaxies.
而星系穿越在可能是无限的空间里 And galaxies falling through a possibly infinite space.
有一天，在我们的天空，我们会看到仙女座星系… One day, in our own sky, we'll see the galaxy Andromeda
朝向我们 heading our way.
在40亿年后，它会和银河系相撞 In four billion years' time, it will collide with The Milky Way.
接下来的数十亿年，我们的天空会上演宇宙之舞 For a billion years, our sky will be filled with cosmic choreography.
而我们了解这个，是因为我们可以预测未来 And we know that because we can predict the future.
所以物理定律，可以这么说，是一台小时光机 So the laws of physics, in that sense, are little time machines.
它让你可以精确的预测出什么将会发生 They allow you to predict with precision what will happen
以现有的知识预测遥远的未来 in the distant future given a knowledge of the present.
我们甚至看到太阳在他的生命尾声膨涨成一颗红巨星 We even see the sun ends its days as it swells into a red giant,
在50亿年之后 some five billion years from now.
所以，我们可以确定，和地球上所有其他的生命… So we can be sure that we, along with all other life on Earth,
我们在未来都无法幸存 will not survive into the far future.
灭绝，是地球生命演化中的必要一环 Extinction is a necessary part of the evolution of life on Earth.
99.9%曾经生活在地球上的生物都已经灭绝 99.9% of species that have ever existed have become extinct
但这是好事 and that's a good thing,
因为当物种消失，生态系统中就出现了空位 because when a species goes, there's a niche available in the ecosystem
让其他的物种进来，这就是演化的机制 for other species to colonise - that's how evolution works.
你知道，如果恐龙没有灭绝 You know, if the dinosaurs hadn't become extinct,
很大的可能我们不会存在 it's very likely that we wouldn't exist.
所以，当思考到我们物种的最终命运 So when considering the ultimate destiny of our species
答案很明显-灭绝 the answer seems obvious - extinction.
但我必须说，这并不一定会发生 But I'd argue this doesn't have to be the case.
我们和这颗星球上其他的物种不一样，因为我们是… We are different to the other species on this planet because we're
有智慧的，智慧很重要，而且极端罕见 intelligent. Intelligence matters and it's extremely rare, in fact
事实上，智慧在整个宇宙中可能都是极端罕见的 you can argue that intelligence may be extremely rare in the universe.
很有可能我们是银河系中唯一有高等智慧的物种 It is possible that we're the only intelligent species in the Milky Way
一个有着4,000亿颗太阳和数百亿颗地球的星系 galaxy amongst 400 billion suns and countless billions of worlds.
而那让我们变得无比珍贵，并值得被保护 And that makes us extremely valuable and worth protecting.
我觉得要让这火苗持续下去的方法就是，人类继续… I think the way to keep this light alive is for humans to continue
去敢于冒险 to venture out.
去探索 And explore.
为此，我们建造了一艘够大的船，能让6位太空人… To this end, we've built a ship large enough for six astronauts
进行训练 to train in.
这里是水瓶号，被NASA用来进行NEEMO This is Aquarius, which is used by NASA as Neemo,
NEEMO水底任务。而这个地方很极端的原因是 the Neemo missions. And the reason this place is extreme,
如果你过来看 if you look here...
是因为 is because...
我们在海底 we're below the ocean.
这里的压力是2.5到3倍强于… The pressure in here is two and half to three times
大气压力，这就是为什么我听起来像卡通人物 atmospheric pressure, which is why I sound like a Munchkin.
水平面下50尺，水瓶号提供了一个独特的… 50 metres below the surface, Aquarius offers a unique
训练环境，为探索外太空做准备 training facility for deep space exploration.
这个是，这个太有意思了，你可以假装你是太空人 This is, er, this is brilliant cos you can play at being an astronaut,
我是说，你们会有6位太空人在这里。 I mean, you'd have six astronauts in here. The reason that
他们用这里当作任务模拟的原因是… they use this as a mission simulator
因为这里是你能在地球上找到… is because the environment is as close as you can get
最类似的环境，你必须要在这生活数个星期 to space on Earth, you have to live here for weeks.
而如果你在这生活超过一个小时 And if you stay here for more than one hour -
所以我们留一小时 - 你就必须更进一步的留在这里17个小时 so we've got one hour - you have to stay here for a further 17 hours
进行减压，你不能就这样走了 to decompress, so you can't just run away
你知道，假如你心理上产生了幽闭恐怖症的感受 if you, you know, psychologically feel a bit claustrophobic
然后你觉得"我不喜欢这里"，你不能就这样走了 and you think "I don't like it," you can't just leave,
这是地球上少数几个地方可提供的环境 it's one of the few places on Earth where that would be the case.

最近几个月，NEEMO在练习的是一种特定类型的… In recent months, Nemo has been tasked with a very specific type
外太空探测任务 of deep space exploration.
他们发展了一种在小行星上太空漫步的方法 They're developing methods to space walk onto asteroids,
小行星的重力感受比起月球相对小了很多 where gravity will be a fraction of that experienced on the moon.

这是几百年来撞击地球最大的小行星 Earth had been hit by the largest asteroid in more than a century.
而且没有人知道它要来 And no-one had seen it coming.
看起来我们预测的能力失败了 It seems our powers of prediction failed us
而那是因为，在现实中，大自然可以是无秩序的 and that's because, in reality, nature can be chaotic.
我可以介由一个简单的实验来证明 I can demonstrate that with a simple experiment.
这些是磁铁，假设这个是一颗小行星… These are magnets, so let's say that this is an asteroid, then watch
会发生的是，当我设定一个摆动起点，从这个点开始 what happens when I set the pendulum off, let's say from this point here.
我现在要放开它，我准备了雷射在那里 So I'm going to release it, I've got a laser there.
准确的从这个点，我现在要放开了 From exactly that point, I'm just going to let it go.
我们看到雷射描出它的路线在这张纸上 We see the laser tracing out the path on this photo paper,
这就是小行星绕行太阳系的样子，重力干涉作用 this is asteroid orbiting the solar system, gravitationally interacting
有地球的影响，还有太阳当然 with the Earth, the sun of course,
还有巨大的行星像木星 let's say a massive planet like Jupiter.
你看，它现在和黄色的碰到一起，这是太阳 There you go, it's collided with the yellow one, the sun.
我可以再做一次，我要试着做的就是… I can do it again and what I'm going to try
以完全同样的步骤来做，现在放开 and do is line it up in exactly the same way and let it go.
以这个例子来说，完全不一样，那是因为… In this case it's radically different, that's because
这是一个混乱的系统，你看… this is what is known as a chaotic system, there you go,
这次撞击了地球，那会是一个文明的结束 and it's hit the Earth, so that will be the end of civilisation
如我们所知的 as we know it.
重点是它的轨道路线严重的取决于… The point is that the orbit is critically dependent on what
我们叫做，物理学家称为，初始条件 we call, what physicists call, the initial conditions.
那就是我有多准确的去重覆我的步骤，多准确的放开它 That's how precisely did I line this up, how precisely did I release it,
准确度的多少就决定了它… what precisely happens as it sets off on its path
在太阳系中的路线 through the solar system?
在这里细微的空气流动让它偏斜了一点 In here are the little air currents that deflect it
所有这些最小最微不足道的改变 a little bit, all those infinitesimally small changes
都会被一个复杂的系统放大 can be amplified in a complicated system such as this.
而这就是为什么，光是发现接近地球的小行星… And that's why it's not good enough to just discover the asteroids
还不够好，不够好的原因是因为… that come near to the Earth, it's not good enough
那些任何其中一个最小的推动，都会让你本来… because one of those tiny nudges could take something that you
觉得应该安全的，非常天真的根据牛顿的定律 might think was safe, just using Newton's laws very naively,
而事实上，推动着它进入和地球相撞的轨道 and in fact nudging it onto a collision course with the Earth.
这个大自然的基本特性代表着，我们可能只会得到很小的警告… This fundamental feature of nature means that we may get little
当下一颗朝向地球而来的时候 warning when the next one comes our way.
所以我们必须持续的追踪有威胁的小行星… So we must continue to track threatening asteroids...
并发展出科技可以摆脱突然来访的小行星 ..and develop technologies that will get us out to them at short notice.
2014年1月，欧洲太空总署的罗塞塔号 In January 2014, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft

我问我儿子，当时他们5岁和7岁 I asked the boys, they were five and seven,
我说："你们想和爸爸一起去月球吗？" I said, "Would you guys like to be with your dad on the moon?"
他们说："好啊，那太棒了" They said "Oh, yeah, that'd be great, Dad."
所以那张相片的背面我们写下了， So on the back of that picture we had written,
这是太空人查理．杜克一家 "This is the family of astronaut Charlie Duke,
来自地球，降落月球1972年4月 "from planet Earth who landed on the moon in April 1972"
我们都签了名，然后我把相片留在月球上 and we all signed it and then I dropped the picture on the moon.

没错 Yeah.
真的！那就是我们那时候拥有的 - Yeah! - And that's what we had.
在查理之后，只有两个人再回去过 After Charlie left, only two men have ever gone back
而这有个很好的原因 and there's good reason for that.
要挣脱地球的引力束缚所需要的能量 The energy required to break free from Earth's gravitational embrace
是难以相信的 is staggering.
这就是那带着约翰杨，肯马丁利 This is the spacecraft that took John Young, Ken Mattingly

那里是维修舱和指挥舱 There's the Service Module and the Command Module,
那是把他们从月球带回地球的引擎 that's the engine that fired to bring them back from the moon
登月小艇就在那里面 to the Earth, the Lunar Lander sat inside there
而这个实际上来说是一个单火箭推动器 and this piece is essentially a single rocket motor
它用来带他们从地球轨道至月球 that fired to take them from Earth orbit to the moon.
所以这里是120吨的登月太空船 So this is the 120 tonne moon spacecraft, if you like.

把太空船带到200,000尺的高度 taking the spacecraft from an altitude of 200,000 feet,
差不多是38英里高，一直到144.5英里，那就是实际上的轨道 about 38 miles, up to 114 and a half miles, that's virtually in orbit.
这透过在5个引擎里燃烧燃料来做到 And it did that by burning the fuel in five engines.
在当时，那曾经是最强力的火箭其中之一 Now, at the time, that was one of the most powerful rockets
但不是最强力的，那是这个 ever built, but not the most powerful - that was this,
神农5号第一节 Stage One of the Saturn V.
这里有着2,200吨的燃料 There are 2,200 tons of fuel in here,
而第一节会在2分半钟内把它们燃烧殆尽 and stage one burnt through that in about two and a half minutes.
要达到这样，光是它的燃油泵动力就比波音747起飞的动力还要大 To do that they add fuel pumps that were more powerful than a 747
以每秒15吨燃油的速度把燃料送进这个里面… at lift off to pump 15 tonnes of fuel a second into these...

我们没有再飞去别的星球的原因，和我们为什么有… The reason we aren't flying to other planets is the same reason
石油危机一样的原因 we're endangering this one.
每一天，我们都要烧掉等同于 Every day we burn the equivalent of
所有在地球上成长了一年多的植物 all the plants growing on this planet over a year
来达到我们的能源需求 to meet our energy needs.
但并不是说能源使用本身是一件… But that's not to say that energy use is of itself
必然的坏事 necessarily a bad thing.
事实上从很多角度来看，这是一件很好的事 Indeed by many measures it's an extremely good thing indeed.
在每一个人均能源使用量高于… In every country where the per capita energy use is greater than
欧洲人均使用量的一半的国家 about half the European average
那么成年人的预期寿命都高于70岁 then adult life expectancy is greater than 70 years,
识字率高于90% literacy rates are greater than 90%,
婴儿死亡率很低 infant mortality rates are low
比5分之1更多的人口受过高等教育 and more than one in five of the population are in higher education.
所以关于能源使用的故事，是很复杂的 So the story of energy use is a complicated one.
一方面来说，很明显的，能源使用是很重要且有价值的 On the one hand, obviously, energy use is important and to be valued,
是现代文明的基石 it's the foundation of our modern civilisation,
另一方面来说 and on the other hand,
如果我们主要的产生能源方式是燃烧石油 if we generate our energy mainly by burning fossil fuels
那可以是坏事 then it can be a bad thing.
以短期来说，当然… Now in the short-term of course...
我们可以换不同的能源来增加效率 we can increase the efficiency of our energy usage.
但是长期来看 But in the long-term,
如果我们向往的是，这个先进文明持绩发展 if we aspire to continue to advance as a civilisation,
如果你想要给地球上每一个人好的生活品质 if we want to give every citizen of the world a quality of life
和我一样的甚至比我更好的 that is as good as or even better than mine,
假如最终我们要打造一个太空世代… and if ultimately we want to build a space-faring generation
旅行到星际之中，我们必须找更好的方法 and journey to the stars then we have to find a better way.
短期来说，我们可以转换到较干净的电力能源 In the short-term, we can move to cleaner electric motors,
但是因为我们在发电厂燃烧石化燃料 but because we burn fossil fuels in power stations,
所以那只是把问题移到上游去 that simply moves the problem upstream.
所以我们面对的不是能源危机 So what we face is not an energy crisis
而是能源转换危机 but an energy conversion crisis.
可更新能源也许是一部份解决方法 Renewable energy might be part of the solution,
但是我相信还有更有希望的长期替代方案 but I believe there's a far more promising long-term alternative.
如果你能做一件事 If you could do one thing,
如果你可以挥一下魔法棒来做一件事，你会做什么？ if you could wave a magic wand and do one thing, what would you do?
如果你可以制造大量的干净能源，这可以解决许多问题 If you could produce abundant clean energy, it would solve many problems.
这是我们时代的巨大挑战 It's a grand challenge of our time,
而我非常坚定和自豪的可以参与其中 and I truly am committed and proud to be part of it.
我们可以第一次为地球摘下星星吗？ Can we for the first time bring a star to Earth?
这里是加州的NIF"国家点燃实验设施" Here at the National Ignition Facility in California
他们试着创造出人造恒星 they're trying to create man-made stars.
是大型雷射 It's a big laser.
它是全世界最大的，大概有50… It's the biggest in the world by probably a factor of 50,
甚至100倍大，在尺寸和能量上来说 or maybe even 100, so in size and in energy.
可以产生多少能量？ How much power's in there?
如果以全美国所产生的电力来说的话 If you look at all the electricity that's produced in the United States,
这个差不多是1,000多倍的能量 this is about a thousand times more power than that.
当然我是指几分之一秒的时间内 But of course only for a fraction of a second,
几十亿分之一秒内 a few billionths of a second.
在恒星内部，核融合开始于当气体云形成恒星时 In a star, fusion begins when the gas cloud that forms the star
坍缩于自身的引力 collapses under its own gravity,
加热核心的温度到几百万度 heating the core to many millions of degrees.
在NIF这里，融合的过程就在雷射的靶室之中 Here at NIF, it's coaxed into life in the laser's target chamber
包覆在2公尺的厚墙里面 encased in two metre thick walls
还有47扇我所见过最大的玻璃门 and 47 of the biggest glass doors I've ever seen.
还有这个 Ah, yeah.
这里可以说是整个系统的精华 So this is the sharp end of the whole system, if you like,
这里是雷射下来的地方 this is where the lasers come down
然后开始瞄准靶室 and start to get focused into the chamber.
每一道雷射都必须同步到达， And each one of them has to be synchronised to a few trillionths
在百万兆分之一秒内 of a second to arrive at exactly the same time
而且当然，要在完全正确的位置 and of course in exactly the right spot.
这真的值得我们停下脚步，好好想一下这里发生的事 It's worth sort of stepping back and realising what's happening here
你说192个像这样的雷射光束，而且不是小东西。 - cos you said 192 of these laser beams, which are not small. - Indeed.
在那个里面，也不是小东西。 - In the middle of that which is definitely not small. - Absolutely.
那目标靶呢？差不多这么大 What's the target? It's about that big.
差不多1毫米宽 It's about a millimetre wide.
所以你们达到了那精确度和巨大的能量并行 But it's the level of precision and power that you're able to achieve.
而且如果你能做到平均的话，你就创造了一颗小恒星 And if you can do it uniformly then you can create a little star.
看到这些，让我想到了阿波罗任务 It reminds me a little bit of Apollo in a sense cos you just think,
我是说，看看我们能做到的，如果我们去试 you know, look what we can do if we try.
看到了吗？那是黄金环空器 So you see there, there's a gold cylinder
在那小红球的中间，那是融合燃料 and in the middle a little red ball, that's the fusion fuel.
其中一个小圆球 One of those pellets,
当所有的融合正确进行 when all of the fusion happens just right,
可以提供我家一整天的电力 could power my house for a day.
你可以想像如果有一袋那些小圆球 So you imagine having a little bag of those pellets,
好比说有三到四百颗 let's say you three or four hundred of them,
你可以放到口袋里 you could fit them in your pocket,
那么它可以提供你一整年所需的电力 then that would power your life for a year.
几千颗这些小东西 Thousands of these little pellets
可以提供太空船飞到月球的动力 could power a spacecraft to the Moon.
几十万个可以把太空船送出太阳系 Hundreds of thousands could power a spacecraft out to the edge of
或是更远到别的恒星 the solar system or perhaps outward to the stars.
而关于融合科技一个有趣的地方是 And one of the interesting things about fusion technology is
没有东西会浪费掉，是不是？ that there's no waste, right?
当你把那小圆球中的能量都释放出来 What happens when you release all the energy in that pellet of fuel
你制造了氦，所以你得到了电力 is you produce helium, so you get your electricity
也得到了派对用的气球，差不多就是这样 and you get your party balloons, and that's pretty much it.
所以它是一个干净的，安全的，和极其有效率的科技 So it's an inherently clean, safe and extremely efficient technology.
ALARM BLARES
请所有人注意 TANNOY: May I have your attention.
2号雷射站的发射程序准备正在进行中 Preparations for shot operations in laser bay two are under way.
立刻离开2号雷射站 Leave laser bay two now.
我重覆，立刻离开2号雷射站 I repeat. Leave laser bay two now.
这是NIF的控制室，这里是整个程序的心脏 This is the NIF control room, this is the heart of all operations,
我必须要这么小声的原因是 and the reason I have to be quiet is
因为他们准备要发射了 because they're getting ready for a shot.
主雷射程序将于一分钟内开始 Main laser operation will begin in approximately one minute.
这就好像是帮闪光灯充电一样 It's a bit like charging a flash gun.
电容开始储存电荷 Banks and the capacitors store electric charge,
准备释放出所有的能量到雷射之中 getting ready to discharge all this energy into the lasers.
扩大，扩大，再扩大，碰！ Amplify, amplify, amplify, bang.
绿灯已经亮了 - WOMAN: - It looks like it just turned green.
你觉得我们可以继续了吗？ Are you comfortable with us going forward?
我没有看到什么问题 I don't see a problem.
好的，我们准备进行如果你觉得可以的话 OK. We're ready to proceed if you're OK with it.
开始倒数了 There's the countdown.
听我的口令 Start sequence on my mark.
倒数开始 COUNTDOWN BEGINS
255秒 255 seconds.
在255秒的时间内 In 255 seconds time,
比全美国产生的能量… a thousand times the power generating capacity of
还要强1,000倍的能量 the United States of America
将要被发射到只有几毫米大小的的东西上 is going to be fired down into something a few millimetres across.
太酷了 It's cool.
我们可以做到太了不起了，不是吗？ Brilliant that we can do this, isn't it?
我说"我们"，是指他们 By "we" I mean them.
没错，"我们"，我们人类文明。 Yeah, "we", it's our civilisation.
五 四 三 二 一，发射 Five, four, three, two, one, shot.
碰！ That's a bang...
那就是我们的未来 ..and that's the future.
商业融合发电站还有很远的路要走 Commercial fusion power stations are still a long way off,
但是NIF证明了在理论上是可以做到的 but NIF has proved that it can be done in principle.
如果融合在经济上可行 If fusion can be made economically viable,
它会结束火的时代 it would end the days of fire
它不只是能驱动我们的车子和城市 and it would do much more than power our cars and cities,
它会为我们的文明建立一个新的基础 it would provide a new foundation for our civilisation,
它甚至会开启我们通往星系的道路 it would even open up the road to the stars.
我想我们期待，事实上，我们要求 I think we expect, in fact, we demand that
未来必须要比过去更好 the future is going to be better than the past,
但在我看来，我们好像还没有准备好为它付帐 but it seems to me that we're not prepared to pay for it.
我们可以怎么改变？ So how might things change?
我们很幸运可以生活在民主之下 Well, we're fortunate enough to live in democracies,
而在民主之中事情的改变… and in democracies things change
是当人们发现知识的入口 when people have access to knowledge,
当他们了解事实 when they understand facts
于是可以做出明智的决定 and when they can make informed decisions.
你知道吗？举个例子， Did you know, for example,
美国人每年花在宠物美容的钱 that Americans spend ten times more money each year on pet grooming
是核融合的10倍 than they do on nuclear fusion
我想如果你对某个人说， Now I think that if you said to someone,
嗯，是这样的，为什么你不自已帮你的猫梳毛 "Well, actually, why don't you brush your own cat,
然后把你本来要请别人来梳毛省下的钱 "and take the money you were going to spend having somebody else brush it
把它给那些试着去找到… "and give it to those people who are trying to find a way
产生无限干净能源方法的人？ "of generating unlimited access to clean energy?"
然后人们会说，"嗯，对啊，这很划算" Then people would say, "Well, yeah, that's a good deal."
在民主下，事情改变于当人们像是你和我… See, in democracies things change when people like you and me
想要他们改变 want them to change.
我看到未来，海洋是满满的生命
而人类已经消失
我对未来很乐观 I'm optimistic about the future.
不管我们现在钻的洞有多深 No matter how deep we keep digging our hole right now,
我觉得还有希望 I feel like there is hope.
我要去太空
也许有一天我会去
他们说历史会重覆上演
我觉得这不再是个好说法
你知道吗？我审视我的生命而我觉得，"就快要结束了" You know, I look at my life and I think, "It's almost over,"
事实上，如果有先进的医学技术，那么… when in fact with the advances in healthcare and such
也许就不会结束 it may not be.
我希望世界可睁开双眼
根本上来说，我想我们都想要同样的东西 Fundamentally, I think we all want the same thing,
我们想要我们的孩子和他们的孩子拥有未来 we want our children and their children to have a future.
而那需要我们计划未来 And that requires us to plan for that future.
我觉得这很了不起
我之前有听说过这计划
现在我已经看守这里两年了
我很骄傲自已是一份子
你好。你好，很高兴见到你 - Hello. - Hello. - Nice to meet you.
这个地方着手处理一个人类在未来可能会… This place addresses a fundamental human need that we're going to
面对的基本需求，就是我们要如何喂饱自已？ face in the future, which is how are we going to feed ourselves?
隧道本身大约130米长，延着这个… The tunnel itself runs about 130 metres downwards on this
轻微的坡度，在尽头会有一个宝库 gentle gradient, and by the time we get to the vaults at the end,
在地面上方，是160米高的坚硬岩石 it's going to be 160 metres of solid rock up to the surface.
埋藏在这里的，是无价的珍宝 Buried down here is a priceless treasure,
这里所有的一切都被设计来保证安全 and everything about this building is designed to keep it safe.
这个弧型你看到的，这个弧度，是经过深思熟虑的 This arc that you see, this curve here, is deliberate,
万一有爆炸的话， it's in case there's a blast,
如果在地面上有某种的爆炸 some kind of explosion up at the surface.
这个被设计用来反弹震波回去 And this is designed to reflect the blast back.
一个极度珍贵的地方 An extremely precious place...
被冰覆盖 ..covered in ice.
我们要通过这个气闸 Then we have to go through this airlock...
然后进入宝库 ..and into the vault.
这里的宝物不是货币，不是黄金，也不是稀有的珠宝 The treasure in here is not currency, not gold, not rare jewels
是很重要的东西，是我们未来的食物 but something important, it's the future of our food.
这里是种子，实际上这里有全世界… Here are the seeds, the food crops of virtually every
所有国家的农作物 country in the world.
这是来自墨西哥 These are from Mexico.
这是印度 There are India.
这里有奈及利亚，旁边是德国，澳大利亚。 There are Nigerian seeds next to Germany, Australia.
这里收集着超过800,000种不同的种子… There are over 800,000 different populations of seeds
来自几乎世界上所有的国家 collected here from virtually every country in the world.
这个是来自叙利亚 These here are from Syria.
这些被运出来，在最近发生的战乱之前 These were taken out just before recent troubles,
他们去那里，他们保护种子 so they're out there, they're protected there in case
以免叙利亚人的种子未来会消失 the Syrian seed vaults are lost.
这里还有着那最陌生的国家，你不会相信… And then there are some strangest of all countries you wouldn't
会参与配合这种国际性的组织 believe would cooperate in such an international endeavour.
看看这个，盒子编号5，朝鲜人民共和国 Look at this here - box number 5DPR of Korea,
这些是来自北韩的种子 these are North Korean seeds.
而就在这边是南韩的种子 And just over there are the South Korean seeds next to them.
加拿大 Canada.
菲律宾 Philippines.
这里代表的，是生命的图书馆 This represents, as a library of life,
我们文明的全部 just the whole of civilisation
被编成基因密码装进这些箱子里 rests with the genetic codes contained in these boxes.
我们的未来可能就躺在这些种子里 Our future might just rest on these seeds
保存在"全球种子库" squirreled away in the Global Seed Vault,
有朝一日，发芽茁壮，进入新的世界 drilled into the top of the world.
这个建筑背后的推动力是农业学家 The driving force behind its construction was agriculturist,
Cary Fowler 博士 Dr Cary Fowler.
你为什么决定要开始这个计划？ So why did you decide to take this project on?
嗯，我花了一辈子的时间 Well, I've spent all of my life
在试着保存农作物的多样性 working on trying to conserve crop diversity,
在我研究的这个领域，我们生活在一个受了伤的世界 and those of us in my field, we live in a world of wounds.
我们看到伤害，我们看多样性的消失，灭绝 We see the injuries, we see the loss of diversity, the extinction.
而到了某个时间点，你会觉得，好了，够了 And at a certain point, you know, enough is enough,
你试着去弄清楚 and you, you try to figure out,
我们可以做什么，不只是随变应付 well, what can we do that's not just stopgap?
因为我们知道在未来，我们会需要这些作物的多样性 Cos we know we're going to need this crop diversity in the future,
这是农业的生物学基础 it's the biological foundation of agriculture.
只要我们需要依靠农业，我们就需要这些 We're going to need it as long as we need agriculture.
我想我们整个文明都是依靠农业存在的 Which is as long as civilisation exists, I suppose?
没错，有了这个我们就不用太担心了，是吗？ Exactly, after that we're not worried about it, are we?
一些在种子库里的种子，有效期限是200,000年 Some of the seeds in this vault will still be viable in 20,000 years.
当你看到这样的成就，你是怎么想的？ When you look at this achievement, how do you see it?
当我走进这里，我看到农业的历史 When I walk in here, I see a history of agriculture,
一路回到石器时代 all the way back to Neolithic days.
我们的祖先，你的和我的，保存了这些种子 So our ancestors, yours and mine, have been saving these seeds
成功的，一路走来直到今天 in a successful, unbroken line until today.
这些是我们未来所可以有的选择，所以任何的… They're every option that we're going to have for the future, so any
所有的我们想要和需要的，稻米和小麦在未来… and everything we want and need - rice and wheat to be in the future
都是存在的，多样性被保存了下来 is represented, is made possible by this diversity.
有些人把这里叫做世界末日库 - Some people call this The Doomsday Vault. - Yeah.
在我看来有一点，我不知道，末世的感觉 启示录？ - Seems to me to be a rather, er I don't know, grim... - Apocalyptic?
是啊-这是合理的描述吗？ - Yeah. - Yes. - Is that a, a reasonable description?
对我来说，当我走下来这里，我的感觉是快乐的、幸福的 For me, when I walk down here I get this immense feeling of happiness
坦白说，是希望 and frankly, hope that,
OK,这里有800,000种农作物的多样性 OK, here are 800,000 crop varieties
是不会走向灭绝的 that are not going to become extinct.
对我来说，这表示了我们没有这个问题 So to me, this represents a problem that didn't happen.
在我看来，这里也是一个真正的未雨绸缪的例子 Also seems to me, it's an example of genuine long-term thinking,
这里超越了政治周期，超越了生命周期 this transcends political cycles, it transcends lifetimes.
当我注视这个地方，我只看到一种我所了解的… Yeah, when I look at this place, I see about the only structure
这个世界的结构，世界本质上是建在永恒之上的 in the world that I know of that's built essentially for eternity,
你所能想像最久的时间，包括了世界上所有的国家， for as long as we can imagine, involving all the countries of the
一起做这长远及正面的计划 world in something that's long-term and positive.
对我，这是充满希望的 That's hopeful, to me.
我来这里讲述一个关于无常未来的故事 I came here to tell a story of an uncertain future,
但我在斯瓦尔巴的永冻土下找到了其他的东西 but I found something else under the permafrost of Svalbard...
乐观 optimism.
我们很荣幸的可以生活在这个特殊的时间点 We have the privilege to live in a very special and unique time,
因为这是地球的生命历史上第一次 because for the first time in the history of life on Earth,
有一个物种，可以说相当程度的掌握了他自己的命运 there's a species that at least in part is masters of its own destiny -
靠自己双手存活了下来 has its survival in its own hands.
是可以这么说，因为有一条绵延不断的线… It's true to say that because there's an unbroken
从我们一路延伸回去，到38亿年前和地球生命起源连结了起来 line of life stretching back from me to the origin of life on earth
在这漫长历史之中的任何时候 3.8 billion years ago, that at any point in that long history,
某些事可能会发生把我们全部灭绝 something could have happened to wipe us out,
可能明天会发生某件事把我们全部灭绝 and something could happen tomorrow to wipe us out,
但不断增加的，我们可以看到接近的威胁 but increasingly, we can see those threats coming.
所以，我们有机会，可能性 So, we have a chance, the possibility,
来延长我们的存在于不确定的未来 of prolonging our existence into the indefinite future,
如果我们能找到方法来认真的承担这个责任 if we can just find a way of taking that responsibility seriously.
今天，我们正写下我们在人类故事中的章节 Today, we are writing our chapter in the human story.
这么做的同时 But as we do so,
我们必须把未来放在心中，并从过去学到教训 we must keep in mind the future and learn lessons from the past.
回到El Castillo洞穴里的黑暗之中 Back in the darkness of the El Castillo caves,
这里也许可以提醒我们生命充满了多少危险 there may be a stark reminder of life's perilous existence.
更加精确的壁画年代监定显示了， More accurate dating of the paintings suggests that the
我们年轻艺术家的故事可能有不完美的结局 story of our young artist might have a sting in its tail.
如果这个艺术不是在约40,000年前 If this art is not just around 40,000 years old,
是在43,000年前，差异不算大 but over 43,000 years old, not much of a difference,
那么这个不是人类 then this is not human.
因为43,000年前,没有人类在欧洲的这个区域 Because there were no humans in this area of Europe 43,000 years ago.
如果是这样的话，这个艺术就是由尼安德塔人创造的 If that's the case, this art was created by Neanderthals,
完全不同的物种 a completely different species.
你去想一想 Just think about that.
尼安德塔人在能力上、心智上差不多像我们一样 Neanderthals were pretty much as capable, mentally, as we are.
如果他们有足够的时间 So if they'd been given enough time,
给他们人类承受过的压力 given the pressures that we humans felt,
那么没有原因为什么他们不能 then there's no reason why they
发展出自己的文明 couldn't have developed a civilisation.
但他们没有时间 But they didn't have time.
相反的他们消失了，他们灭绝 Instead they disappeared, they became extinct,
留下了，也许是… leaving perhaps, these signs of the
他们文化起点的记号，在山洞的顶端 beginnings of their culture on the roof of a cave.
但我们的物种没有灭亡 But our species didn't die out -
我们一起合作，坚持下来，繁荣茁壮 we worked together, held on and then flourished.
我们要不要把这寄给爷爷？ Should we send these up to Grandad?
我们寄给爷爷吧 Yeah, let's send them up to Grandad.
在面对逆境的时候 In the face of adversity,
我们适应下来，并用我们的大脑发展出了技术 we adapted and used our brains to develop technologies.
随着时间脚步，我们建造了强大的文明 In time, we built mighty civilisations
以科学为做基础 with science as their foundation.
接着，随着宇宙一眨眼的时间 And then, within the blink of a cosmic eye,
我们旅行到了其他世界 we journeyed to other worlds...
我们一瞥了大自然世界的真实样貌 ..and we glimpsed the very nature of reality itself.
好的，我们把它寄给爷爷 Right, let's send these to Grandad.
把它们放进信封 Going to put them in the envelope.
LOUD RUMBLING
我们甚至有了前哨站，让我们的文明，可以生活在超越地球的地方 We even have an outpost of our civilisation living beyond Earth.
科学是不合理的有效 Science is unreasonably effective,
它超越所有预料，产生了知识 it's generated knowledge beyond all expectation.
它同时也传递了远景 It's also delivered perspective.
是的，我们是微不足道的小颗粒在无限的宇宙之中 Yes, we are an insignificant speck in an infinite universe,
但我们也很稀有 but we're also rare.
因为我们很稀有，我们是有价值的 And because we're rare, we're valuable.
所以我们要如何保证未来安全？ So what are we to do to secure our future?
我们必须学着去重视知识的获取 Well, we must learn to value the acquisition of knowledge
为了自身的利益，但不只是因为可以让我们的经济成长 for its own sake, and not just because it grows our economy
或让我们能制造更大的炸弹 or allows us to build better bombs.
我们也必须学着去重视人类 We must also learn to value the human race
为我们自已的生存承担责任 and take responsibility for our own survival.
为什么？因为没有其他的人会… Why? Because there's nobody else out there
重视我们或是照顾我们 to value us or to look after us.
而最后，所有之中最重要的就是 And finally, most important of all,
我们必须用我们发现的伟大科学… we must educate the next generation in
来教育我们的下一个世代，我们必须教他们使用… the great discoveries of science and we must teach them to use the light
理性之光来消除迷信的黑暗 of reason to banish the darkness of superstition,
因为如果我们这么做，那么至少我们有机会… cos if we do that, then at least there's a chance that
让这个宇宙，人类常存 this universe will remain a human one.
这里有卡片 There's a card in here.
这上面写了"爷爷" It's got "Grandad" written on it.
你是爷爷吗？ 我不是爷爷 - Are you a grandad? - I'm not a grandad.
嘿，Alex，你是爷爷吗？ Hey, Alex, you a grandad?
据我所知不是 我想应该是我 - No, not that I know of. - I guess it's me.
