What is the intersection
0
709
1610
在科技、藝術和科學的交會處，我們能發現什麼？
00:14
between technology, art and science?
1
2319
4317
00:18
Curiosity and wonder,
2
6636
2097
好奇心與萬物驚奇，
00:20
because it drives us to explore,
3
8733
2913
因為它讓我們有動力去探索，
00:23
because we're surrounded by things we can't see.
4
11646
3464
因為我們四周充滿匿跡隱形的事物。
00:27
And I love to use film
5
15110
1614
我喜歡利用攝影
00:28
to take us on a journey
6
16724
1336
帶大家進行一段旅程，
00:30
through portals of time and space,
7
18060
2880
穿越時空，
00:32
to make the invisible visible,
8
20940
2374
讓不為人知的事物為人知曉。
00:35
because what that does,
9
23314
1650
因為這能夠
00:36
it expands our horizons,
10
24964
1923
拓展我們的視野、
00:38
it transforms our perception,
11
26887
2461
改變我們的觀點、
00:41
it opens our minds
12
29348
2330
開啟我們的心胸，
00:43
and it touches our heart.
13
31678
1964
並感動人心。
00:45
So here are some scenes
14
33642
1439
這些片段
00:47
from my 3D IMAX film,
15
35081
1819
出自我的 3D IMAX 電影
00:48
"Mysteries of the Unseen World."
16

《世界不為人知的奧祕》。
00:51
(Music)
17
39679
2514
（音樂）
00:54
There is movement which is too slow
18
42193
1584
有些萬物變化太慢
00:55
for our eyes to detect,
19
43777
2415
以致於人眼難以偵測。
00:58
and time lapse makes us discover
20
46192
2890
縮時攝影讓我們能察覺這些變化，
01:01
and broaden our perspective of life.
21
49082
2708
並讓人生視野更加開闊。
01:03
We can see how organisms emerge and grow,
22
51790
4140
我們能看見生物體的形成與成長，
01:07
how a vine survives by creeping from the forest floor
23
55930
3685
藤蔓是如何從森林地表探出頭來
01:11
to look at the sunlight.
24
59615
2919
仰望日光。
01:15
And at the grand scale,
25
63943
1860
大規模來看，
01:17
time lapse allows us to see our planet in motion.
26
65803
4933
縮時攝影讓我們能看見地球的一舉一動。
01:22
We can view not only the vast sweep of nature,
27
70736
2777
不只能看到大自然的生生不息，
01:25
but the restless movement of humanity.
28
73513
3685
還能觀察人類不停息的活動。
01:29
Each streaking dot represents a passenger plane,
29
77198
3452
每條線都代表客機的行經路線，
01:32
and by turning air traffic data
30
80650
1840
藉著將航空交通數據轉為
01:34
into time-lapse imagery,
31
82490
1502
縮時影像，
01:35
we can see something that's above us constantly
32
83992
2568
就能看到在我們上空，不斷活動
01:38
but invisible:
33
86560
1551
卻讓人看不見的東西：
01:40
the vast network of air travel over the United States.
34
88111
5544
美國上空廣大的航空網。
01:45
We can do the same thing with ships at sea.
35
93655
3171
也能如此觀察海洋船舶活動。
01:48
We can turn data into a time-lapse view
36
96826
2312
我們能將數據轉換為
全球經濟活動的縮時影像。
01:51
of a global economy in motion.
37
99138
5123
02:01
And decades of data
38
109549
1574
幾十年的數據
02:03
give us the view of our entire planet
39
111123
2241
讓我們能夠將整個星球
02:05
as a single organism
40
113364
1881
視為單一有機體。
02:07
sustained by currents circulating
throughout the oceans
throughout the oceans
41
115245
3180
洋流穿過各大洋、
02:10
and by clouds swirling through the atmosphere,
42
118425
4155
雲團盤繞於大氣層中，
02:14
pulsing with lightning,
43
122580
2269
與閃電一起脈動
02:16
crowned by the aurora borealis.
44
124849
2951
北極光有如王冠一般。
02:19
It may be the ultimate time-lapse image:
45
127800
4030
這可能是終極縮時影像。
02:23
the anatomy of Earth brought to life.
46
131830
4032
地球的千變萬化
活生生的呈現在眼前。
活生生的呈現在眼前。
02:31
At the other extreme,
47
139441
1692
相反地，
02:33
there are things that move too fast for our eyes,
48
141133
3569
有些活動快到人眼無法捕捉，
02:36
but we have technology that can look into that world
49
144702
2148
但我們也有技術可以破解這難題。
02:38
as well.
50
146850
2853
02:43
With high-speed cameras,
51
151763
1100
有了高速攝影機，
02:44
we can do the opposite of time lapse.
52
152863
1956
可達到與縮時攝影相反的效果。
02:46
We can shoot images that are thousands of times
53
154819
2176
可以拍攝到
比人類視覺極限快上幾千倍的影像。
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
我們可以看到大自然的造化神功，
02:56
and perhaps we can even imitate them.
56
164985
3230
或許還能加以模仿。
03:02
When a dragonfly flutters by,
57
170275
2390
當蜻蜓振翅飛過時，
03:04
you may not realize,
58
172665
1797
你可能沒發現，
03:06
but it's the greatest flier in nature.
59
174462
2658
但牠們是自然界最棒的飛行家，
03:09
It can hover, fly backwards,
60
177120
4031
可以盤旋在空中、向後飛，
03:13
even upside down.
61
181151
3325
甚至倒著飛。
03:16
And by tracking markers on an insect's wings,
62
184476
3101
利用追蹤標記牠們的翅膀，
03:19
we can visualize the air flow that they produce.
63
187577
3675
可以看到牠們創造出的氣流。
03:23
Nobody knew the secret,
64
191252
1342
沒有人知道這個秘密，
03:24
but high speed shows that a dragonfly
65
192594
2549
但高速攝影幫助我們看見了蜻蜓
03:27
can move all four wings in different directions
66
195143
2227
可以向不同方向同時移動四隻翅膀。
03:29
at the same time.
67
197370
2310
03:31
And what we learn can lead us
68
199680
1578
我們所學到的，
03:33
to new kinds of robotic flyers
69
201258
2034
可以讓我們創造出新型飛行器，
03:35
that can expand our vision
70
203292
1818
將人類視野擴展到
03:37
of important and remote places.
71
205110
5814
重要且偏遠的世界角落。
03:44
We're giants, and we're unaware
72
212138
2158
我們是巨人，無法察覺
03:46
of things that are too small for us to see.
73
214296
2450
週遭太渺小的事物。
03:48
The electron microscope fires electrons
74
216746
2976
電子顯微鏡能發射出電子，
03:51
which creates images
75
219722
1647
產生影像，
03:53
which can magnify things by as much
76
221369
1681
將事物放大到百萬倍之多。
03:55
as a million times.
77
223050
2446
03:57
This is the egg of a butterfly.
78
225496
3714
這是蝴蝶的卵。
04:01
And there are unseen creatures
living all over your body,
living all over your body,
79
229210
3334
你身體上也有看不見的生物，
04:04
including mites that spend their entire lives
80
232544
2715
包含塵蟎，終其一生
04:07
dwelling on your eyelashes,
81
235259
2031
都躲在你的眼睫毛中，
04:09
crawling over your skin at night.
82
237290
3432
夜晚時爬過你的肌膚。
04:12
Can you guess what this is?
83
240722
3028
猜得出這是什麼嗎？
04:15
Shark skin.
84
243750
2474
鯊魚皮。
04:19
A caterpillar's mouth.
85
247960
2904
毛毛蟲的嘴巴。
04:24
The eye of a fruit fly.
86
252170
3197
果蠅的眼睛。
04:29
An eggshell.
87
257283
2964
蛋殼。
04:34
A flea.
88
262070
2705
跳蚤。
04:39
A snail's tongue.
89
267293
3914
蝸牛的舌頭。
04:43
We think we know most of the animal kingdom,
90
271995
2478
我們以為早已了解動物世界，
04:46
but there may be millions of tiny species
91
274473
2412
但或許還有上百萬微小物種
04:48
waiting to be discovered.
92
276885
3618
等待被發掘。
04:55
A spider also has great secrets,
93
283151
2628
蜘蛛也有很多秘密，
04:57
because spider's silk thread is pound for pound
94
285779
2152
因為蜘蛛絲甚至比
04:59
stronger than steel
95
287931
1752
同等重量的鋼鐵還要強韌，
05:01
but completely elastic.
96
289683
2061
但是充滿彈性。
05:03
This journey will take us all the way down
97
291744
2111
我將帶你一窺
05:05
to the nano world.
98
293855
2132
奈米的世界，
05:07
The silk is 100 times thinner
99
295987
2784
蜘蛛絲比人類的頭髮還細一百倍。
05:10
than human hair.
100
298771
3522
上頭有細菌，
05:14
On there is bacteria,
101
302293
2727
05:17
and near that bacteria, 10 times smaller,
102
305020
3201
在細菌附近，比他更小十倍的，
05:20
a virus.
103
308221
2924
是病毒。
05:23
Inside of that, 10 times smaller,
104
311145
3502
病毒裡，更小十倍的地方，
05:26
three strands of DNA,
105
314647
2860
有三串 DNA，
05:29
and nearing the limit of our
most powerful microscopes,
most powerful microscopes,
106
317507
3390
幾乎達到我們最強大顯微鏡的極限時，
05:32
single carbon atoms.
107
320897
4962
觀察到單一碳原子。
05:37
With the tip of a powerful microscope,
108
325859
2076
利用強大顯微鏡的頂端，
05:39
we can actually move atoms
109
327935
2004
我們甚至可以移動原子，
05:41
and begin to create amazing nano devices.
110
329939
5888
開始創造驚人的奈米儀器。
05:47
Some could one day patrol our body
111
335827
1992
它們有天或許能在人體中流動，
05:49
for all kinds of diseases
112
337819
2231
對付各種疾病，
05:52
and clean out clogged arteries along the way.
113
340050
4050
沿路清掉阻塞的動脈。
05:56
Tiny chemical machines of the future
114
344100
2845
未來的微小化學儀器
05:58
can one day, perhaps, repair DNA.
115
346945
3998
有天或許能夠修復 DNA。
06:02
We are on the threshold of extraordinary advances,
116
350943
3208
我們離非凡成就僅有一步之遙，
06:06
born of our drive
117
354151
1750
讓動力驅使我們
06:07
to unveil the mysteries of life.
118
355901
3657
揭開生命的秘密。
06:12
So under an endless rain of cosmic dust,
119
360618
2864
在持續落下的宇宙塵埃裡，
06:15
the air is full of pollen,
120
363482
2197
空氣充滿花粉、
06:17
micro-diamonds and jewels from other planets,
121
365679
3074
來自其他星球的微鑽石或珠寶，
06:20
and supernova explosions.
122
368753
2725
還有超級星爆炸。
06:23
People go about their lives
123
371478
2009
我們日常生活中
06:25
surrounded by the unseeable.
124
373487
5154
充滿看不見的東西。
06:30
Knowing that there's so much around us
125
378641
1743
知道身邊有那麼多東西
06:32
we can see
126
380384
1376
值得我們張大眼睛看，
06:33
forever changes our understanding of the world,
127
381760
3056
將永遠改變人類對世界的認知。
06:36
and by looking at unseen worlds, we recognize
128
384816
2389
藉由一窺這些不為人知的世界，我們能了解到
06:39
that we exist in the living universe,
129
387205
2059
我們活在具生命的宇宙中，
06:41
and this new perspective creates wonder
130
389264
3048
這個新觀點將能創造驚奇，
06:44
and inspires us to become explorers
131
392312
2603
並賦予我們靈感，成為探險家，
06:46
in our own backyards.
132
394915
3320
就算是家中後院也好。
06:50
Who knows what awaits to be seen
133
398235
2561
誰知道還有哪些東西等待被發掘，
06:52
and what new wonders will transform our lives.
134
400796
3758
或是有哪些新奇東西將改變人類生命。
06:56
We'll just have to see.
135
404554
5494
讓我們等著瞧吧。
07:02
(Applause)
136

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."
