| 55 | Since it was October and the octopi probably had just laid eggs and were now ready to | 由于是10月 和octopi 可能刚刚下蛋 现在准备 |

| 220 | Maybe the singularity at the center of a black hole leads to an alternate dimension, where | 也许黑洞中心的奇点 会导致另一个维度 |
| 221 | everything that's sucked in ends up. | 所有被吸进去的东西都归根结底 |
| 222 | Or perhaps all of this information is just stuck around the event horizon of the black | 或者所有的信息都停留在 黑色的视线上 |
| 223 | We will most likely never find out in our lifetime, but scientists will never stop trying | 我们很可能会在一生中永远发现 但科学家们永远不会停止尝试 |
| 224 | to uncover the answer to this great mystery of our universe. | 揭开宇宙的谜题 |
| 225 | Oh, and speaking of gravity, what is it? | 哦,说到重力,是什么? |
| 226 | You'd think a force such as gravity, which we can calculate with incredible precision | 你会想到引力这样的力量 我们可以精确地计算 |
| 227 | and observe all around us, would be something that science could explain. | 观察我们周围的一切 科学可以解释 |
| 228 | But it turns out scientists don't actually know what gravity is. | 但事实证明科学家并不知道什么是重力。 |
| 229 | The difference between gravity and other forces is that scientists can't pinpoint the particles | 重力和其他力的区别在于 科学家不能确定粒子 |
| 230 | that cause gravity. | 导致引力。 |
| 231 | For example, bosons, gluons, and photons are all responsible for forces that hold nuclei | 例如,硼、葡萄糖和光子 都对持有核糖体的力量负责 |
| 232 | together or create electromagnetism. | 一起或创造电磁 |
| 233 | But what particle is responsible for gravity? | 但什么粒子对引力负责? |
| 234 | Scientists have no clue. | 科学家不知道 |
| 235 | Some researchers suggest that a yet-to-be-discovered particle called a graviton somehow causes | 有些研究者认为,一个尚未被发现的粒子 被称为graviton 不知何故导致 |
| 236 | gravity, but there's no proof of that yet. | 引力,但还没有证据。 |
| 237 | Another hypothesis around what creates gravity has to do with string theory. | 另一种关于产生引力的假设与弦理论有关. |
| 238 | Theoretical physicists think that gravity is just a closed loop of energy connected | 理论物理学家认为引力只是连接能量的闭环 |
| 239 | in a way that influences everything in the universe. | 以影响宇宙一切的方式 |
| 240 | But perhaps the most trippy idea about what gravity is has to do with extra dimensions. | 但也许最令人惊奇的想法 重力与额外维度有关 |
| 241 | Some scientists think that the cause of gravity isn't in our dimension, but hidden somewhere | 一些科学家认为引力的原因不在我们的维度,而是隐藏在某处 |
| 242 | within the multi-dimensional layers that make up the multiverse. | 在构成多面体的多维层内。 |
| 243 | Maybe there's another you in an alternate dimension that's somehow influencing this | 也许还有另一个你在另一个维度 不知怎么地影响了这个 |
| 244 | dimension's gravity in some unknown way. | 维度的引力以未知的方式出现。 |
| 245 | We may never know, but it's fun to think about. | 我们可能永远不知道, 但这是有趣的思考。 |
| 246 | You might not realize it, but time is weird. | 你可能没有意识到,但时间是奇怪的。 |
| 247 | Why does it only move one direction? | 为什么它只有一个方向? |
| 248 | Is traveling backward in time possible? | 在时间里往后走是可能的吗? |
| 249 | These questions are currently being worked on by scientists, but for right now there | 科学家们正在研究这些问题,但现在 |
| 250 | are very few answers. | 答案很少。 |
| 251 | Scientists think that time moves forward because of a property known as entropy. | 科学家认为,时间向前发展,是因为一个被称为 en的财产. |
| 252 | At a basic level, entropy is the idea that everything in the universe is moving from | 从基本意义上讲,py是宇宙中的一切正在从 |
| 253 | a state of order to a state of disorder. | 一个秩序状态到一个混乱状态。 |
| 254 | Once a system undergoes entropy and becomes more disordered, there is no going back. | 一旦一个系统发生肽化,变得更加无序,就没有回头路了. |
| 255 | This is similar to how time works. | 这和时间的工作方式类似. |
| 256 | Once you go forward in time, you can't go back in time. | 一旦在时间上前进,就不能回到时间上. |
| 257 | But why is this the case? | 但为什么这样? |
| 258 | It may just be the ignorance of humans and our inability to perceive the movement of | 可能只是人类的无知和我们无法感知 |
| 259 | But as far as we can tell, time only moves in one direction. | 但就我们所知,时间只朝一个方向移动。 |
| 260 | This is further reinforced by the numerous paradoxes that can occur when we discuss traveling | 我们讨论旅行时可能发生的许多矛盾现象进一步强化了这一点。 |
| 261 | back in time. | 回来的时间。 |
| 262 | Theoretically, traveling to the past might be possible, but it can also end the universe | 理论上说,去往过去或许是可能的,但它也可以结束宇宙 |
| 263 | as we know it. | 正如我们所知。 |
| 264 | Time travel and the movement of time in one direction are conundrums that scientists are | 时间旅行和时间向一个方向移动是科学家的难题 |
| 265 | currently trying to solve, but time will tell how long before we can make sense of it all. | 目前试图解决,但时间会告诉我们,要多久我们才能理解这一切。 |
| 266 | Scientists know the universe started with two types of matter. | 科学家们知道宇宙起源于两种物质. |
| 267 | There was regular matter, which is what you and everything else is made of, and then there | 有常事,这是什么 你和所有的东西 由,然后在那里 |
| 268 | was antimatter. | 是反物质。 |
| 269 | But today the universe is made almost exclusively of regular matter. | 但今天宇宙几乎完全由正常物质组成. |
| 270 | Why do we live in a world full of matter instead of a world full of antimatter? | 为什么我们生活在一个充满物质的世界,而不是一个充满反物质的世界? |
| 271 | This is a great question, and one that scientists don't have an answer for. | 这是一个伟大的问题,一个科学家没有答案的问题。 |
| 272 | We think that at the beginning of it all, when the Big Bang created the universe, there | 我们认为,在这一切的开始, 当大爆炸创造了宇宙,在那里 |
| 273 | was about a 50-50 split between antimatter and matter. | 大约是反物质和物质的五分之一 |
| 274 | When these two forms of matter came into contact, they annihilate, which isn't conducive to | 当这两种物质发生接触时,它们就会毁灭,这不利于 |
| 275 | constructing the universe we see today. | 构建我们今天看到的宇宙。 |
| 276 | However, for some reason, our universe ended up with slightly more matter than antimatter, | 然而,出于某种原因, 我们的宇宙 最终有了比反物质稍多一点的物质, |
| 277 | which is why anything exists at all. | 这就是为什么任何东西存在。 |
| 278 | If there were even amounts of antimatter and matter, the only thing that would be left | 如果还有大量的反物质和物质, 唯一会留下的东西 |
| 279 | in the universe after it all annihilated would be some photons. | 在宇宙中,在它被毁灭之后, 将是一些光子。 |
| 280 | Obviously, this is not the case. | 显然,情况并非如此。 |
| 281 | Scientists know that there must have been more matter, but they can't figure out why | 科学家们知道一定有更多的问题 但是他们不知道为什么 |
| 282 | that would be the case. | 就是这样 |
| 283 | In fact, it's estimated that only about one matter particle per billion escaped being | 事实上,估计每十亿只逃出一个物质粒子 |
| 284 | annihilated just after the Big Bang. | 就在大爆炸之后被消灭了 |
| 285 | This is a really small percentage, but it was enough to create everything we see in | 虽然这个比例很小,但它足以创造出我们所看到的一切 |
| 286 | the universe today. | 今日的宇宙。 |
| 287 | The craziest part is that the antimatter and the matter mystery is nowhere close to being | 最疯狂的部分是 反物质和物质的神秘 远没有接近 |
| 288 | solved. | 解决了。 |
| 289 | It just doesn't make sense that mirror copies of particles would not have been produced | 粒子的镜像复制品是没有道理的 |
| 290 | in the same number during the Big Bang. | 在大爆炸期间的相同数字。 |
| 291 | Perhaps there was some form of divine intervention. | 也许有某种形式的神干预。 |
| 292 | The only problem with this theory is that that's not testable, and therefore not an | 这个理论的唯一问题就是,这是不可检验的,因此,不是 |
| 293 | explanation that scientists are willing to accept. | 科学家愿意接受的解释。 |
| 294 | There's another mystery that scientists can't explain, which may not seem quite as important | 还有另一个谜团 科学家无法解释 这似乎并不重要 |

| 306 | can't be observed by the naked eye, but it's still an awesome unexplained mystery. | 肉眼无法观察,但它仍然是一个令人惊叹的不可解释的神秘. |
| 307 | Scientists understand that the bubbles form due to changes in pressure regions, but the | 科学家们知道,气泡的形成是由于压力区域的变化,但是, |
| 308 | actual source of the light is unknown. | 光的实际来源不明。 |
| 309 | Some scientists think it's a very small nuclear fusion reaction, which would be almost | 一些科学家认为这是一个非常小的核聚变反应,这几乎是 |
| 310 | unbelievable and kind of scary. | 难以置信 有点恐怖 |
| 311 | Others think it has to do with some type of electrical discharge or the gases inside the | 其他人认为这与某种类型的放电有关,或者与其中的气体有关。 |

| 313 | It's difficult to get an exact measurement since the light-causing reaction happens so | 光诱导反应发生后 很难精确测量 |
