I want to ask you all to consider for a second

我希望大家能花点时间考虑

The very simlpe fact

一个非常简单的事实

That by far

那就是到目前为止

Most of what we know about the universe comes to us from light

我们对宇宙的大部分了解都是通过光而来

We can stand on the earth an look up at the night sky

And see stars with our bare eyes

我们站在地球上仰望夜空仅凭肉眼就能看见星星

The sun burns our peripheral vision

太阳照亮我们的视野边界

We see light reflected off the moon

因为光的反射我们看得见月亮

And in the time since Galileo pointed that rudimentary telescope at the celestrial bodies

自从伽利略将他那原始的望远镜瞄准宇宙的天体时

The known universe has come to us through light

Across vast eras in cosmic history

我们所了解的宇宙终于穿过了浩瀚的历史通过光呈现在了我们的眼前

And with all of our modern telescopes

在现代的望远镜的帮助下

We could able to collect this stunning silent movie of the

Universe

我们已经能够搜集炫目无声的宇宙影像了

This sort of series of snapshots that go all the way back to the big bang

这一系列影像可以一直追溯到大爆炸

And yet the universe is not a silent movie

当然宇宙不是一部无声的电影

Because the universe isn't silent

因为宇宙并非一片死寂

I'd like to convience you that the universe has a soundtrack

And that soundtrack is played on space itself

我想告诉大家的是宇宙其实是一个乐师为自己制作专属自己的配乐并不停播放着

Because space can wobble like a drum

因为太空会像鼓一样震动

It can ring out a kind of recording throughout the univesrse

Of sone of the most dramatic events as the unfold

所以当某些重大事情发生时它会像唱片一样会发出声音传遍整个宇宙

So in this ambition to capture songs from the universe

所以针对捕获宇宙声音这个远大的目标

We turned our focus to black holes and the promise they

Have

我们将我们的重点放在黑洞以及它所表现出的前景上

Because black hoels can bang on space -time like nallets on a drum and have a very characteristic song

因为黑洞能像鼓槌撞击鼓皮一样发出极具特色的声音

Which I'd like to play for you some of our predictious for what that song will be like

我也非常高兴给你们播放一些我我们预测的声音

Now black holes are dark against a dark sky we can't see them directly

黑洞比宇宙更暗在漆黑的宇宙中是无法被我们直接看见的

They're not brought to us with light at least not directly

我们是无法通过光直接看到它们的

We can see them indirectly because balck holes wreak havoc on their environment

我们可以间接的看到它们时因为黑洞能够扭曲它们周围的事物

They destroy stars around them they churn debris in their surroundings

诸如摧毁附近的恒星将方圆以内的碎片剧烈搅拌等

But they won't come to us directly through light

但总之它们不会通过光的呈现在我们眼前

We might one day see a shadow a black hole can cast on a very bright background but we havent yet

有一天或许我们能看到它的影子那也是当黑洞遇上一个非常明亮的背景时就有可能至少现在还没有过

And yet black holes may be heard even if they're not seen

但是黑洞是可以听得见的即使我们看不见

And that's because they bang on space-time like a drum

因为它们像鼓槌一样撞击着时空
