工艺、艺术、科学的交汇处在哪里？
00:12
What is the intersection
0

00:14
between technology, art and science?
1
2319
4317
00:18
Curiosity and wonder,
2
6636
2097
好奇与思索，
因为它让我们有探索的动力，
00:20
because it drives us to explore,
3
8733
2913
00:23
because we're surrounded by things we can't see.
4
11646
3464
因为我们周遭充满着看不到的东西。
00:27
And I love to use film
5
15110
1614
我乐于用电影的方式
00:28
to take us on a journey
6
16724
1336
带给大家一段穿越时空的旅程，
00:30
through portals of time and space,
7
18060
2880
00:32
to make the invisible visible,
8
20940
2374
使那不能见的，成为能见的。
00:35
because what that does,
9
23314
1650
因为它会
开阔我们的视野，
00:36
it expands our horizons,
10
24964
1923
00:38
it transforms our perception,
11
26887
2461
改变我们的观点，
00:41
it opens our minds
12
29348
2330
拓宽我们的胸襟，
00:43
and it touches our heart.
13
31678
1964
触动我们的心弦。
00:45
So here are some scenes
14
33642

以下这些片段来自我的3D IMAX电影
00:47
from my 3D IMAX film,

（“极慢”）
自然界的一些活动
00:54
There is movement which is too slow
18
42193
1584
00:55
for our eyes to detect,
19
43777
2415
慢到我们肉眼无法觉察到。
00:58
and time lapse makes us discover
20
46192
2890
延时摄像技术让我们探索、
01:01
and broaden our perspective of life.
21
49082
2708
拓宽我们对生命的领悟。
01:03
We can see how organisms emerge and grow,
22
51790
4140
我们看到生命体如何成型、生长
01:07
how a vine survives by creeping from the forest floor
23
55930
3685
我们看到藤蔓生如何从森林地面钻出，
追寻阳光的滋养。
01:11
to look at the sunlight.
24
59615
2919
01:15
And at the grand scale,
25
63943
1860
从宏观的角度，
01:17
time lapse allows us to see our planet in motion.
26
65803
4933
延时摄像让我看到地球的运转。
01:22
We can view not only the vast sweep of nature,
27
70736
2777
我们不但能看到大自然的宏伟，
01:25
but the restless movement of humanity.
28
73513
3685
也能感受到人类本身的生生不息。
01:29
Each streaking dot represents a passenger plane,
29
77198
3452
每条划过的蓝点都代表一架客机，
01:32
and by turning air traffic data
30
80650
1840
当我们把客机的数据
01:34
into time-lapse imagery,
31
82490
1502
转化成延时图像时，
01:35
we can see something that's above us constantly
32
83992
2568
我们看到了那无法看见
却一直在我们头顶的：
01:38
but invisible:
33
86560
1551
01:40
the vast network of air travel over the United States.
34
88111
5544
美国上空广大的航线网络。
01:45
We can do the same thing with ships at sea.
35
93655
3171
海上的船只也一样，
01:48
We can turn data into a time-lapse view
36
96826
2312
我们可以把数据转化成延时图像，
01:51
of a global economy in motion.
37
99138
5123
展现全球的经济脉动。
02:01
And decades of data
38
109549
1574
几十年的数据
02:03
give us the view of our entire planet
39
111123
2241
使我们的星球看上去宛如一个生命体，
02:05
as a single organism
40
113364
1881
02:07
sustained by currents circulating
throughout the oceans
throughout the oceans
41
115245
3180
它体内有海流循环于大洋之间，
02:10
and by clouds swirling through the atmosphere,
42
118425
4155
云海涡卷于大气之中，
02:14
pulsing with lightning,
43
122580
2269
闪电是它的脉搏，
02:16
crowned by the aurora borealis.
44
124849
2951
北极光是它的王冠。
02:19
It may be the ultimate time-lapse image:
45
127800
4030
这可说是延时摄像的终极作品：
02:23
the anatomy of Earth brought to life.
46
131830
4032
栩栩如生的地球解剖图。
02:31
At the other extreme,
47
139441
1692
在另一个极端，
02:33
there are things that move too fast for our eyes,
48
141133
3569
某些活动快到肉眼无法捕捉，
02:36
but we have technology that can look into that world
49
144702
2148
但是现今的科技
可以让我们一窥那个世界。
可以让我们一窥那个世界。
02:38
as well.
50
146850
2853
高速摄像，
02:43
With high-speed cameras,
51
151763
1100
02:44
we can do the opposite of time lapse.
52
152863
1956
可以达到和延时摄像相反的效果。
02:46
We can shoot images that are thousands of times
53
154819
2176
我们可以捕捉到
比肉眼快几千倍的影像。
02:48
faster than our vision.
54
156995
3806
02:52
And we can see how nature's
ingenious devices work,
ingenious devices work,
55
160801
4184
我们可以观察到自然界的高超技艺，
02:56
and perhaps we can even imitate them.
56
164985
3230
甚至可以运用在仿生领域。
03:02
When a dragonfly flutters by,
57
170275
2390
当一只蜻蜓飞过，
03:04
you may not realize,
58
172665
1797
你可能意识不到
03:06
but it's the greatest flier in nature.
59
174462
2658
蜻蜓是自然界中最棒的飞行者。
它可以盘旋、向后飞、
03:09
It can hover, fly backwards,
60
177120
4031
甚至仰着飞。
03:13
even upside down.
61
181151
3325
03:16
And by tracking markers on an insect's wings,
62
184476
3101
通过在昆虫的翅膀上安置跟踪标记，
我们可以把它们产生的气流成像。
03:19
we can visualize the air flow that they produce.
63
187577
3675
03:23
Nobody knew the secret,
64
191252
1342
没有人知道蜻蜓的秘密，
03:24
but high speed shows that a dragonfly
65
192594
2549
但是在高速摄像的帮助下，我们发现：
蜻蜓的四只翅膀
可以同时向任意方向扇动。
可以同时向任意方向扇动。
03:27
can move all four wings in different directions
66
195143
2227
03:29
at the same time.
67
197370
2310
03:31
And what we learn can lead us
68
199680
1578
我们了解到的这些，
03:33
to new kinds of robotic flyers
69
201258
2034
可以帮助我们开发新型的自动飞行器，
把我们的视角扩展到
03:35
that can expand our vision
70
203292
1818
03:37
of important and remote places.
71
205110
5814
那些重要而又偏远的地方。
03:44
We're giants, and we're unaware
72
212138
2158
我们身形巨大，
所以对周遭的微小事物无知无觉。
03:46
of things that are too small for us to see.
73
214296
2450
电子显微镜通过发射电子
03:48
The electron microscope fires electrons
74
216746
2976
来成像，
03:51
which creates images
75
219722
1647
03:53
which can magnify things by as much
76
221369
1681
可将事物放大百万倍。
03:55
as a million times.
77
223050
2446
这是一只蝴蝶的卵。
03:57
This is the egg of a butterfly.
78
225496
3714
04:01
And there are unseen creatures
living all over your body,
living all over your body,
79
229210
3334
我们身上也有许许多多看不到的生物
比如螨虫，
04:04
including mites that spend their entire lives
80
232544
2715
它们的一生都在你身上度过，
04:07
dwelling on your eyelashes,
81
235259
2031
藏在你的眼毛里，
04:09
crawling over your skin at night.
82
237290
3432
夜间蠕动在你皮肤上。
04:12
Can you guess what this is?
83
240722
3028
能猜得出这是什么吗？
04:15
Shark skin.
84
243750
2474
鲨鱼皮，
04:19
A caterpillar's mouth.
85
247960
2904
毛毛虫的嘴，
04:24
The eye of a fruit fly.
86
252170
3197
果蝇的眼，
04:29
An eggshell.
87
257283
2964
蛋壳，
04:34
A flea.
88
262070
2705
跳蚤，
04:39
A snail's tongue.
89
267293
3914
蜗牛的舌头。
04:43
We think we know most of the animal kingdom,
90
271995
2478
我们以为自己很了解动物世界了，
但是可能还有数以百万计的微小物种，
04:46
but there may be millions of tiny species
91
274473
2412
04:48
waiting to be discovered.
92
276885
3618
等待着我们去发现。
04:55
A spider also has great secrets,
93
283151
2628
蜘蛛也有许多秘密，
04:57
because spider's silk thread is pound for pound
94
285779
2152
蜘蛛丝比同重量的钢铁还要牢固。
04:59
stronger than steel
95
287931
1752
却富有弹性。
05:01
but completely elastic.
96
289683
2061
05:03
This journey will take us all the way down
97
291744
2111
接下来，让我们进入--
05:05
to the nano world.
98
293855
2132
纳米世界。
05:07
The silk is 100 times thinner
99
295987
2784
蜘蛛丝比人类的头发
还要细一百倍。
05:10
than human hair.
100
298771
3522
05:14
On there is bacteria,
101
302293
2727
上面有细菌
05:17
and near that bacteria, 10 times smaller,
102
305020
3201
在细菌旁边，比它小十倍的是：
病毒。
05:20
a virus.
103
308221
2924
05:23
Inside of that, 10 times smaller,
104
311145
3502
病毒里再小十倍的，
05:26
three strands of DNA,
105
314647
2860
有三条DNA链，
05:29
and nearing the limit of our
most powerful microscopes,
most powerful microscopes,
106
317507
3390
以及将现今最强大的显微镜放至最高倍，
05:32
single carbon atoms.
107
320897
4962
才能看到的单个碳原子。
05:37
With the tip of a powerful microscope,
108
325859
2076
运用显微镜的微小的触端
05:39
we can actually move atoms
109
327935
2004
我们可以移动原子
05:41
and begin to create amazing nano devices.
110
329939
5888
开始设计绝妙的纳米装置。
05:47
Some could one day patrol our body
111
335827
1992
有些装置将来也许可以在我们体内巡逻，
05:49
for all kinds of diseases
112
337819
2231
抵御各种疾病，
05:52
and clean out clogged arteries along the way.
113
340050
4050
顺便也清理堵塞的动脉。
05:56
Tiny chemical machines of the future
114
344100
2845
未来的微型化学机器，
05:58
can one day, perhaps, repair DNA.
115
346945
3998
有一天或许可以修复DNA。
06:02
We are on the threshold of extraordinary advances,
116
350943
3208
我们将要开启绝妙的新篇章
06:06
born of our drive
117
354151
1750
这都源于我们希望揭开生命奥秘的渴望。
06:07
to unveil the mysteries of life.
118
355901
3657
06:12
So under an endless rain of cosmic dust,
119
360618
2864
宇宙尘埃如雨般落下
06:15
the air is full of pollen,
120
363482
2197
空气中弥漫着花粉、
06:17
micro-diamonds and jewels from other planets,
121
365679
3074
来自其他星球的微钻石和宝石、
06:20
and supernova explosions.
122
368753
2725
以及超新星的爆发物。
06:23
People go about their lives
123
371478
2009
我们匆忙的一天里，
06:25
surrounded by the unseeable.
124
373487
5154
密布着这看不见的东西。
06:30
Knowing that there's so much around us
125
378641
1743
意识到我们周围还有这么多可观察的东西
06:32
we can see
126
380384
1376
06:33
forever changes our understanding of the world,
127
381760
3056
将永远改变我们对世界的认知。
06:36
and by looking at unseen worlds, we recognize
128
384816
2389
探看着肉眼不能见的世界，
06:39
that we exist in the living universe,
129
387205
2059
我们体会到我们的宇宙如此活灵活现。
06:41
and this new perspective creates wonder
130
389264
3048
这个新的视野令我们惊奇，
06:44
and inspires us to become explorers
131
392312
2603
激励我们不断探索周遭的世界。
06:46
in our own backyards.
132
394915
3320
06:50
Who knows what awaits to be seen
133
398235
2561
谁也无法预测我们还会有什么样的发现，
06:52
and what new wonders will transform our lives.
134
400796
3758
它们又将给我们的生活带来怎样的改变。
06:56
We'll just have to see.
135
404554
5494
让我们等着瞧吧！
07:02

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."
