my passion for science.
vitenskap med dere.
that takes baby steps.
et lite skritt om gangen.
that takes enormous leaps.
tar enorme sprang.
Jeg snakker om Einstein,
that turns the world on its head.
som snur verden på hodet.
about two ideas that might do this.
idéer som kanskje kan gjøre dette.
most are flat wrong,
er de fleste feil.
seldom have the impact
har sjelden den
two ideas in particular,
akkurat to idéer,
compulsively thorough doctor
tvangsmessig grundig lege
soon after giving birth
kort tid etter fødselen
at one of the clinics than at the other.
som på den andre.
what the difference was that caused this,
forskjellen var som forårsaket dette,
until he happened to autopsy a doctor
obduserte en lege
to those of the mothers who were dying.
med de mødrene døde av.
get the same thing as new mothers?
få det samme som nybakte mødre?
everything the doctor had done
alt legen hadde gjort
that he'd been autopsying a corpse.
at han hadde utført en obduksjon.
in his wound that killed him?
såret hans og tatt livet hans?
for any connection he could
kobling han kunne finne
and dead mothers in his delivery room,
og de døde mødrene i fødestuen sin,
with the high death rate,
med de høye dødsratene,
after autopsying corpses in the morgue.
å ha utført obduksjoner på likhuset.
the doctors' hands
to sterilize their hands,
å sterilisere hendene sine,
had discovered infectious disease.
hadde oppdaget infeksjonssykdom.
thought he was crazy,
and had for hundreds of years,
hundrevis av år,
called miasmas caused disease,
miasmaer forårsaket sykdom,
that you couldn't see.
en ikke kunne se.
for Frenchman Louis Pasteur
why milk and beer spoiled so often.
melk og øl ble så ofte ødelagt.
could kill people in exactly the same way
drepe folk på akkurat samme måten
to talk about tonight, in two ideas.
snakke om i kveld, i to ideer.
that he was a revolutionary.
at han var en revolusjonær.
to a completely new world.
for en helt ny verden.
1680-tallet.
that bacteria killed people.
at bakterier drepte folk.
that people kept close to their heart.
som folk holdt hjertet nært.
Bacteria killed people.
Det er bakterier som dreper folk.
I want to talk about tonight.
jeg vil snakke om i kveld.
to a completely new universe,
til et helt nytt univers,
etablerte forestillinger.
to an entirely new world
til en helt ny verden
Bell Laboratory
Bell Laboratoriet
mikroskoper for biologi,
were taking his brilliant inventions
hans glimrende oppfinnelser og
for figuring out
lidenskap for å finne ut
to see finer and finer details
se mindre og mindre detaljer
or ever could be seen.
eller som kunne bli sett.
going to understand how cells work,
skal forstå hvordan celler fungerer,
150th the size of a head of a pin
mindre enn et knappenålshode
called the law of physics,
heter fysikkens lover,
is the thing called the diffraction limit.
tingen kalt diffraksjonsgrensen.
when you go to a doctor's office,
når du skal til legekontoret,
no matter how good glasses you have.
uansett hvor gode briller du har.
figured out how to take a tiny molecule
hvordan man kunne ta et lite molekyl
the best microscope could see
beste mikroskopet kunne se
are not so unbreakable after all."
er så umulige å bryte allikevel."
in his friend's living room.
mikroskop i vennens stue.
got different protein molecules
fikk forskjellige proteinmolekyler
to turn very, very fuzzy blurs
å gjøre veldig, veldig diffuse uklarheter
of unprecedented and startling clarity.
av enestående og oppsiktsvekkende klarhet.
with unprecedented detail
med enestående detalj
a better handle on things like cancer.
et bedre inntrykk av ting som kreft.
Betzig was satisfied there?
var fornøyd med det?
that he invented were just too slow.
han fant opp var rett og slett for treige.
if you take two very, very fine patterns
hvis du tar to veldig, veldig fine mønstre
be able to see.
ha mulgihet å se.
to taking a really blurry image of a cell
å ta et veldig diffust bilde av en celle
light patterns across it
lysmønstre over det
we don't know what they're doing.
vi ikke vet hva er.
we'll have a better handle on life itself.
vil vi få en bedre forståelse av livet.
green globs that you see?
grønne flekkene dere ser?
that protect other molecules
andre molekyler mens
hijack those to infect cells.
noen ganger for å infisere celler.
wormlike things moving around?
markliknende tingene som beveger seg?
also climb down those things
også klatre ned disse tingene
deep inside a cell,
dypt inni en celle,
of curing viral diseases like AIDS.
å kurere virussykdommer som AIDS.
our eyes to a completely new world.
øynene våre for en helt ny verden.
any cherished beliefs.
noen verdsatte forestillinger.
squirming with an interesting idea:
til å vri seg med en interessant idé:
think he's a crackpot.
han er en gærning.
consequence of living.
konsekvens av det å leve.
what we call free radicals.
frie radikaler.
forårsaker muteringer
there is something called immortality:
det er noe som heter udødelighet:
into giant walking malignant tumors.
forvandlet til enorme ondartede svulster.
but could de Grey be on to something?
men er de Grey på sporet av noe?
seeing him as a crackpot.
å se på ham som gal.
as a computer scientist,
in biology from Cambridge,
i biologi fra Cambridge,
some very significant work
betydningsfullt arbeid
and a bunch of other stuff.
og en haug med andre ting.
an antiaging foundation
en antialdringsstifltelse
seven different causes of aging,
syv forskjellige aldringsgrunner
of fixes for every single one of them.
fikse hver eneste en av dem.
is that our mitochondrial DNA mutates,
er fordi vårt mitokondriale DNA muteres,
and our cells lose energy.
og cellene våre mister energi.
a convincing case,
overbevisende sak,
utføre genterapi,
i det hele tatt.
is going to revolutionize our lifespans.
revolusjonere vår levetid.
and most of us are not lobsters.
og de fleste av oss er ikke hummere.
Darwins and Einsteins out there,
Darwiner og Einsteinere der ute.
alive today than during Darwin's time.
i dag som da Darvin levde.
alive today as Einstein.
som da Einstein levde.
in the population has skyrocketed,
befolkningen har eksplodert,
that there's one of them out there
at det er en av dem der ute
and I don't know about you,
og jeg vet ikke hva dere synes,

Why you should listen
Dr. Eric Haseltine is a neuroscientist and futurist who has applied a brain-centered approach to help organizations in aerospace, entertainment, healthcare, consumer products and national security transform and innovate. He is the author of Long Fuse, Big Bang: Achieving Long-Term Success Through Daily Victories. For five years, he wrote a monthly column on the brain for Discover magazine and is a frequent contributor to Psychology Today's web site, where his popular blog on the brain has garnered over 800,000 views. Haseltine received the Distinguished Psychologist in Management Award from the Society of Psychologists in Management and has published 41 patents and patent applications in optics, media and entertainment technology.
In 1992 he joined Walt Disney Imagineering to help found the Virtual Reality Studio, which he ultimately ran until his departure from Disney in 2002. When he left Disney, Haseltine was executive vice president of Imagineering and head of R&D for the entire Disney Corporation, including film, television, theme parks, Internet and consumer products.
In the aftermath of 9/11, Eric joined the National Security Agency to run its Research Directorate. Three years later, he was promoted to associate of director of National Intelligence, where he oversaw all science and technology efforts within the United States Intelligence Community as well as fostering development innovative new technologies for countering cyber threats and terrorism. For his work on counter-terrorism technologies, he received the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal in 2007.
Haseltine serves on numerous boards, and is an active consultant, speaker and writer. Over the past three years, he has focused heavily on developing innovation strategies and consumer applications for the Internet of Things, virtual reality and augmented reality.
Haseltine continues to do basic research in neuroscience, with his most recent publications focusing on the mind-body health connection and exploitation of big-data to uncover subtle, but important trends in mental and physical health.
