Vi lever i en verden af usynlig skønhed, så subtil og delikat, at den er umærkelig for det menneskelige øje. For at bringe lys over denne usynlige verden, bøjer filmskaber Louie Schwartzberg grænserne af tid og rum med højhastighedskameraer, tidsforskydninger og mikroskoper. Hos TED2014, deler han højdepunkter fra hans seneste projekt, en 3D-film med titlen "Mysterier af den Usynlige Verden", der bremser, fremskynder og forstørrer naturens forbløffende vidundere.

Hvad er skæringspunktet
00:12
What is the intersection
0

1610
00:14
between technology, art and science?
1
2319
4317
mellem teknologi, kunst og videnskab?
00:18
Curiosity and wonder,
2
6636
2097
Nysgerrighed og forundring,
00:20
because it drives us to explore,
3
8733
2913
fordi det driver os til at udforske,
00:23
because we're surrounded by things we can't see.
4
11646
3464
fordi vi er omgivet af ting vi ikke kan se.
00:27
And I love to use film
5
15110
1614
Og jeg elsker at bruge film
00:28
to take us on a journey
6
16724
1336
for at tage os på en rejse
00:30
through portals of time and space,
7
18060
2880
gennem portaler af tid og rum,
00:32
to make the invisible visible,
8
20940
2374
for at gøre den usynlige synlig,
00:35
because what that does,
9
23314
1650
fordi hvad der det gør,
00:36
it expands our horizons,
10
24964
1923
det udvider vore horisonter,
00:38
it transforms our perception,
11
26887
2461
det forvandler vores opfattelse,
00:41
it opens our minds
12
29348
2330
det åbner vores sind
00:43
and it touches our heart.
13
31678
1964
og rører vores hjerte.
00:45
So here are some scenes
14
33642
1439
Her er nogle scener
00:47
from my 3D IMAX film,
15

1819
fra min 3D IMAX film,

(Musik)
00:54
There is movement which is too slow
18
42193
1584
Der er bevægelse, der er for langsom
00:55
for our eyes to detect,
19
43777
2415
for vore øjne til at opdage,
00:58
and time lapse makes us discover
20
46192
2890
og tidsforskydning lader os opdage
01:01
and broaden our perspective of life.
21
49082
2708
og udvide vores perspektiv på livet.
01:03
We can see how organisms emerge and grow,
22
51790
4140
Vi kan se hvordan organismer dukker op og vokser,
01:07
how a vine survives by creeping from the forest floor
23
55930
3685
hvordan en vinstok overlever ved at krybe fra skovbunden
01:11
to look at the sunlight.
24
59615
2919
til at se på sollys.
01:15
And at the grand scale,
25
63943
1860
Og på den store skala,
01:17
time lapse allows us to see our planet in motion.
26
65803
4933
tidsforskydning lader os se vores planet i bevægelse.
01:22
We can view not only the vast sweep of nature,
27
70736
2777
Vi kan se ikke kun det store feje af naturen,
01:25
but the restless movement of humanity.
28
73513
3685
men også den rastløse bevægelse af menneskeligheden.
01:29
Each streaking dot represents a passenger plane,
29
77198
3452
Hver stribende prik repræsenterer en passagerfly,
01:32
and by turning air traffic data
30
80650
1840
og ved at forvandle lufttrafikkdata
01:34
into time-lapse imagery,
31
82490
1502
til tidsforskydningsbilleder,
01:35
we can see something that's above us constantly
32
83992
2568
kan vi se noget der er
over os hele tiden
over os hele tiden
01:38
but invisible:
33
86560
1551
men usynlig:
01:40
the vast network of air travel over the United States.
34
88111
5544
det store netværk
af flytrafikken over USA.
af flytrafikken over USA.
01:45
We can do the same thing with ships at sea.
35
93655
3171
Vi kan gøre det samme med skibene på havet.
01:48
We can turn data into a time-lapse view
36
96826
2312
Vi kan gøre data til en tidsforskydningsudsigt
01:51
of a global economy in motion.
37
99138
5123
af en global økonomi i bevægelse.
02:01
And decades of data
38
109549
1574
Og årtiers af data
02:03
give us the view of our entire planet
39
111123
2241
giver os udsigten af
hele vores planet
hele vores planet
02:05
as a single organism
40
113364
1881
som en enkel organisme
02:07
sustained by currents circulating
throughout the oceans
throughout the oceans
41
115245
3180
opretholdt af strømme, der cirkulerer igennem havene
02:10
and by clouds swirling through the atmosphere,
42
118425
4155
og af skyer hvirvlende
gennem atmosfæren,
gennem atmosfæren,
02:14
pulsing with lightning,
43
122580
2269
pulsende med lyn,
02:16
crowned by the aurora borealis.
44
124849
2951
kronet af nordlys.
02:19
It may be the ultimate time-lapse image:
45
127800
4030
Det må være den ultimative tidsforskydningsbillede:
02:23
the anatomy of Earth brought to life.
46
131830
4032
anatomien af Jorden
bragt til livet.
bragt til livet.
02:31
At the other extreme,
47
139441
1692
I den andre yderlighed,
02:33
there are things that move too fast for our eyes,
48
141133
3569
er der ting, der bevæger for hurtigt for vores øjne,
02:36
but we have technology that can look into that world
49
144702
2148
med vi har teknologi der kan se ind i denne verden
02:38
as well.
50
146850
2853
også.
02:43
With high-speed cameras,
51
151763
1100
Med højhastigheds-kameraer,
02:44
we can do the opposite of time lapse.
52
152863
1956
kan vi gøre det modsatte af tidsforskydningen.
02:46
We can shoot images that are thousands of times
53
154819
2176
Vi kan tage billeder der er tusindvis
02:48
faster than our vision.
54
156995
3806
hurtigere end vores syn.
02:52
And we can see how nature's
ingenious devices work,
ingenious devices work,
55
160801
4184
Og vi kan se hvordan naturens geniale enheder fungerer,
02:56
and perhaps we can even imitate them.
56
164985
3230
og måske kan vi endda efterligne dem.
03:02
When a dragonfly flutters by,
57
170275
2390
Når en guldsmed flagrer forbi,
03:04
you may not realize,
58
172665
1797
må du ikke indse,
03:06
but it's the greatest flier in nature.
59
174462
2658
men den er den bedste flyver i naturen.
03:09
It can hover, fly backwards,
60
177120
4031
Den kan svæve, flyve baglæns,
03:13
even upside down.
61
181151
3325
endda på hovedet.
03:16
And by tracking markers on an insect's wings,
62
184476
3101
Og ved at følge markører på en insekts vingerne,
03:19
we can visualize the air flow that they produce.
63
187577
3675
kan vi visualisere luftstrømmen der de producerer.
03:23
Nobody knew the secret,
64
191252
1342
Ingen vidste hemmeligheden,
03:24
but high speed shows that a dragonfly
65
192594
2549
men højhastighed viser, at en guldsmed
03:27
can move all four wings in different directions
66
195143
2227
kan flytte alle fire vinger i forskellige retninger
03:29
at the same time.
67
197370
2310
på samme tid.
03:31
And what we learn can lead us
68
199680
1578
Hvad der vi kan lære kan føre os
03:33
to new kinds of robotic flyers
69
201258
2034
til nye former af robotagtige flyvere,
03:35
that can expand our vision
70
203292
1818
der kan udvide vores syn
03:37
of important and remote places.
71
205110
5814
af vigtige og fjerntliggende steder.
03:44
We're giants, and we're unaware
72
212138
2158
Vi er kæmper, og vi er uvidende
03:46
of things that are too small for us to see.
73
214296
2450
af ting, der er for små for os at se.
03:48
The electron microscope fires electrons
74
216746
2976
Elektronmikroskopet skyder elektroner
03:51
which creates images
75
219722
1647
der skaber billeder
03:53
which can magnify things by as much
76
221369
1681
der kan forstørre ting så meget
03:55
as a million times.
77
223050
2446
som en million gange.
03:57
This is the egg of a butterfly.
78
225496
3714
Dette er et æg af en sommerfugl.
04:01
And there are unseen creatures
living all over your body,
living all over your body,
79
229210
3334
Og der er usynlige skabninger der lever over hele din krop,
04:04
including mites that spend their entire lives
80
232544
2715
herunder mider der tilbringer hele deres liv
04:07
dwelling on your eyelashes,
81
235259
2031
med at dvæle på dine øjenvipper,
og med at kravle på din hud om natten.
04:09
crawling over your skin at night.
82
237290
3432
04:12
Can you guess what this is?
83
240722
3028
.Kan du gætte hvad det er?
04:15
Shark skin.
84
243750
2474
Hajskind
04:19
A caterpillar's mouth.
85
247960
2904
Munden af en kålorm.
04:24
The eye of a fruit fly.
86
252170
3197
Øjet af en frugtflue.
04:29
An eggshell.
87
257283
2964
En æggeskal.
04:34
A flea.
88
262070
2705
En loppe.
04:39
A snail's tongue.
89
267293
3914
Tungen af en snegl.
04:43
We think we know most of the animal kingdom,
90
271995
2478
Vi tror, at vi kender det meste af dyreriget,
04:46
but there may be millions of tiny species
91
274473
2412
men der må være millioner af små arter
04:48
waiting to be discovered.
92
276885
3618
der venter på at opdages.
04:55
A spider also has great secrets,
93
283151
2628
En edderkop har også store hemmeligheder,
04:57
because spider's silk thread is pound for pound
94
285779
2152
fordi dens silketråd er, pund for pund,
04:59
stronger than steel
95
287931
1752
stærkere end stål,
05:01
but completely elastic.
96
289683
2061
men helt elastisk.
05:03
This journey will take us all the way down
97
291744
2111
Denne rejse vil tage os hele vejen ned
05:05
to the nano world.
98
293855
2132
til nanoverden.
05:07
The silk is 100 times thinner
99
295987
2784
Silketråden er hundrede ganger tyndere
05:10
than human hair.
100
298771
3522
end menneskehår.
05:14
On there is bacteria,
101
302293
2727
På den er bakterier,
05:17
and near that bacteria, 10 times smaller,
102
305020
3201
og tæt på disse bakterier, ti gange mindre,
05:20
a virus.
103
308221
2924
en virus.
05:23
Inside of that, 10 times smaller,
104
311145
3502
Inde i den, ti gange mindre,
05:26
three strands of DNA,
105
314647
2860
tre DNA-strenge,
05:29
and nearing the limit of our
most powerful microscopes,
most powerful microscopes,
106
317507
3390
og ved at nærme sig til grænsen for vores mest kraftfulde mikroskoper,
05:32
single carbon atoms.
107
320897
4962
enkle kulstofatomer.
05:37
With the tip of a powerful microscope,
108
325859
2076
Med spidsen af et kraftfuldt mikroskop,
05:39
we can actually move atoms
109
327935
2004
vi kan faktisk flytte atomer
05:41
and begin to create amazing nano devices.
110
329939
5888
og begynde at skabe fantastiske nanoenheder.
05:47
Some could one day patrol our body
111
335827
1992
Nogle kunne en dag patruljere vores krop
05:49
for all kinds of diseases
112
337819
2231
for at opdage alle former for sygdomme
05:52
and clean out clogged arteries along the way.
113
340050
4050
og rense ud tilstoppede arterier undervejs.
05:56
Tiny chemical machines of the future
114
344100
2845
Meget små kemiske maskiner af fremtiden
05:58
can one day, perhaps, repair DNA.
115
346945
3998
kan en dag, måske, reparere DNA.
06:02
We are on the threshold of extraordinary advances,
116
350943
3208
Vi er på grænsen af ekstraordinære fremskridt
06:06
born of our drive
117
354151
1750
født af vores drev
06:07
to unveil the mysteries of life.
118
355901
3657
til at afsløre mysterier af livet.
06:12
So under an endless rain of cosmic dust,
119
360618
2864
Under en endeløs regn af kosmisk støv,
06:15
the air is full of pollen,
120
363482
2197
luften er fuld af pollen,
06:17
micro-diamonds and jewels from other planets,
121
365679
3074
mikro-diamanter og juveler fra andre planeter,
06:20
and supernova explosions.
122
368753
2725
og supernovaeksplosioner.
06:23
People go about their lives
123
371478
2009
Folk går om deres liv
06:25
surrounded by the unseeable.
124
373487
5154
omgivet af den usynlige.
06:30
Knowing that there's so much around us
125
378641
1743
Vel vidende, at der er så meget omkring os,
06:32
we can see
126
380384
1376
der vi kan se,
06:33
forever changes our understanding of the world,
127
381760
3056
for evigt ændrer vores forståelse af verden,
06:36
and by looking at unseen worlds, we recognize
128
384816
2389
og ved at se på usynlige verdener, vi genkender,
06:39
that we exist in the living universe,
129
387205
2059
at vi eksisterer i den levende univers,
06:41
and this new perspective creates wonder
130
389264
3048
og denne nye perspektiv skaber under
06:44
and inspires us to become explorers
131
392312
2603
og inspirerer os til at blive forskere
06:46
in our own backyards.
132
394915
3320
i vore egne bakhaver.
06:50
Who knows what awaits to be seen
133
398235
2561
Hvem ved, hvad der venter at ses,
06:52
and what new wonders will transform our lives.
134
400796
3758
og hvilke nye undere vil forvandle vores liv.
06:56
We'll just have to see.
135
404554
5494
Vi vil bare nødt til at se.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Louie Schwartzberg - FilmmakerLouie Schwartzberg is a cinematographer, director and producer who captures breathtaking images that celebrate life -- revealing connections, universal rhythms, patterns and beauty.
Why you should listen
Louie Schwartzberg is a cinematographer, director and producer whose career spans more than four decades of providing breathtaking imagery using his time-lapse, high-speed and macro cinematography techniques. Schwartzberg tells stories that celebrate life and reveal the mysteries and wisdom of nature, people and places.
Schwartzberg's recent theatrical releases include the 3D IMAX film, Mysteries of the Unseen World with National Geographic, narrated by Forest Whitaker, and the documentary Wings of Life for Disneynature, narrated by Meryl Streep. Mysteries of the Unseen World is a journey into invisible worlds that are too slow, too fast, too small and too vast for the human eye to see, while Wings of Life focuses on pollination and the web of life. Schwartzberg also directed Soarin' Around the World, an international update to the original Soarin' ride now showing at Disney Parks in Anaheim, Orlando and Shanghai.
Designed to inspire, educate and evolve our perspective on the world, Schwartzberg creates and curates Moving Art videos, which can be found on your smart phone and Netflix. The Moving Art series will be expanded from six to thirteen videos in early 2017.
Schwartzberg's Gratitude Revealed series of shorts were launched on Oprah.com. Supported by the Templeton Foundation, with science and analytics by the Greater Good Center at UC Berkeley, the series explores the multifaceted virtues of gratitude. Schwartzberg is the first filmmaker to be inducted into the Association for the Advancement of Science and the Lemelson Foundation’s Invention Ambassadors Program.
For Schwartzberg, the greatest satisfaction is creating works that can have a positive effect on the future of the planet. "I hope my films inspire and open people's hearts," he says. "Beauty is nature's tool for survival -- we protect what we love. Nature's beauty can open hearts, and the shift in consciousness we need to sustain and celebrate life."
