my passion for science.
szenvedélyemről kívánok beszélni.
that takes baby steps.
amely tipegve halad,
that takes enormous leaps.
that turns the world on its head.
amely fölforgatja a világot.
about two ideas that might do this.
amelyek erre képesek lehetnek.
most are flat wrong,
zömmel eleve tévesek,
seldom have the impact
two ideas in particular,
e két gondolatot választottam,
compulsively thorough doctor
rögeszmésen lelkiismeretes orvos volt.
soon after giving birth
háromszor többen haltak meg
at one of the clinics than at the other.
mint a másikban.
what the difference was that caused this,
until he happened to autopsy a doctor
történetesen épp ő boncolta föl
elhalt orvostársát.
to those of the mothers who were dying.
az elhunyt anyákéival.
get the same thing as new mothers?
ugyanazt, amit a kismamák?
everything the doctor had done
az orvosnak a megbetegedése előtti
that he'd been autopsying a corpse.
in his wound that killed him?
amitől később meghalt?
for any connection he could
ami összeköthette
and dead mothers in his delivery room,
s a szülőszobán lévő elhunyt anyákat.
with the high death rate,
gyakoriságú kórházban
after autopsying corpses in the morgue.
de a másikban soha.
the doctors' hands
A hullák szennyezték be az orvosok kezét,
to sterilize their hands,
fertőtlenítsék a kezüket,
had discovered infectious disease.
fölfedezte a fertőző betegséget.
thought he was crazy,
and had for hundreds of years,
az orvosszakma azt hirdette,
called miasmas caused disease,
bűzölgő kigőzölgések okozzák,
that you couldn't see.
amelyek nem is láthatók.
for Frenchman Louis Pasteur
amíg Louis Pasteur francia tudós
why milk and beer spoiled so often.
oly gyakran a tej és a sör.
could kill people in exactly the same way
embereket ugyanúgy ölhetnek,
to talk about tonight, in two ideas.
két szempontból.
that he was a revolutionary.
to a completely new world.
új világot tárt föl számunkra.
tudtunk a baktériumokról.
that bacteria killed people.
that people kept close to their heart.
elfogultan dédelgetett elveket.
Bacteria killed people.
a baktériumok ölnek.
I want to talk about tonight.
róluk szeretnék ma beszélni.
to a completely new universe,
új univerzumot tárt szemünk elé,
to an entirely new world
Bell Laboratory
fejlesztett ki,
were taking his brilliant inventions
a zseniális fölfedezéseit
for figuring out
megmaradt, hogy rájöjjön,
to see finer and finer details
egyre apróbb részleteket,
or ever could be seen.
mert lehetetlen volt meglátni.
going to understand how cells work,
a rák természetét,
150-szer kisebb valami
150th the size of a head of a pin
called the law of physics,
is the thing called the diffraction limit.
diffrakciós felbontási határ.
when you go to a doctor's office,
mint amikor a szemorvosi rendelőben
no matter how good glasses you have.
bármilyen jó szemüvegünk legyen is.
figured out how to take a tiny molecule
rá az apró, az addig még
the best microscope could see
sem látható molekulák
are not so unbreakable after all."
nem is olyan megdönthetetlenek!"
in his friend's living room.
barátja nappalijában.
got different protein molecules
különböző színekben
to turn very, very fuzzy blurs
nagyon határozott pontokká változtatta,
of unprecedented and startling clarity.
éles képeket állított elő.
részletességgel láthatunk olyan tárgyakat,
with unprecedented detail
a better handle on things like cancer.
a rákot is jobban kezelhetik.
Betzig was satisfied there?
nyugton ült a babérjain?
that he invented were just too slow.
mikroszkóp is túl lassú volt hozzá.
if you take two very, very fine patterns
egyforma nagyon apró mintázatot,
be able to see.
to taking a really blurry image of a cell
nagyon elmosódott képére addig
light patterns across it
we don't know what they're doing.
we'll have a better handle on life itself.
maga az életünk is könnyebbé válik.
green globs that you see?
that protect other molecules
molekulákat védenek,
hijack those to infect cells.
fertőznek meg sejteket.
wormlike things moving around?
hernyószerű micsodákat?
also climb down those things
s megbetegítenek minket.
deep inside a cell,
of curing viral diseases like AIDS.
vírusos betegségek gyógyítására.
our eyes to a completely new world.
any cherished beliefs.
nem zúzta miszlikbe.
squirming with an interesting idea:
a merész gondolatával:
think he's a crackpot.
consequence of living.
az ún. szabad gyökök.
what we call free radicals.
mint mikor az oxigén
megrozsdásodik.
there is something called immortality:
hogy van halhatatlanság:
into giant walking malignant tumors.
rosszindulatú daganattá változik.
but could de Grey be on to something?
de talán de Grey rájött valamire?
seeing him as a crackpot.
as a computer scientist,
in biology from Cambridge,
fokozatot szerzett biológiából,
some very significant work
and a bunch of other stuff.
s egy csomó mindenfélét.
an antiaging foundation
egy öregedésellenes alapítványt,
seven different causes of aging,
of fixes for every single one of them.

DNS-ünk mutációja,
and our cells lose energy.
a convincing case,
génterápiával lecserélhetjük
egyáltalán nem öregszenek.
is going to revolutionize our lifespans.
forradalmasítja az élettartamunkat,
and most of us are not lobsters.
és többségünk nem languszta.
Darwins and Einsteins out there,
Darwinok és Einsteinek;
alive today than during Darwin's time.
mint Darwin idejében.
alive today as Einstein.
in the population has skyrocketed,
meredeken megnőtt,
that there's one of them out there
hogy egyikük az ismeretlenségben
and I don't know about you,
de én már alig várom.
