Da li nauka uništava magiju života? U ovom šarmantnom monologu, gunđalo Robin Ince tvrdi suprotno. Što više znamo o iznenađujućem ponašanju svemira - to smo više zadivljeni.

00:15
I'd like to apologize, first of all, to all of you
0
0
3000
Prvo želim da vam se svima izvinim
00:18
because I have no form
1
3000
2000
jer nemam nikakav oblik
00:20
of PowerPoint presentation.
2
5000
3000
prezentacije u "PowerPoint"-u.
00:23
So what I'm going to do
3
8000
2000
Zato ću povremeno
00:25
is, every now and again, I will make this gesture,
4
10000
2000
da gestikuliram ovako,
00:27
and in a moment of PowerPoint democracy,
5
12000
2000
i u ovoj "PowerPoint" demokratiji,
00:29
you can imagine what you'd like to see.
6
14000
4000
vi možete da zamislite ono što biste želeli da vidite.
00:33
I do a radio show.
7
18000
2000
Imam emisiju na radiju.
00:35
The radio show is called "The Infinite Monkey Cage."
8
20000
3000
Radio emisija se zove ''Beskonačni kavez za majmune.''
00:38
It's about science, it's about rationalism.
9
23000
3000
Bavi se naukom, racionalizmom.
00:41
So therefore, we get a lot of complaints
10
26000
2000
Što znači da dobijamo mnogo pritužbi
00:43
every single week --
11
28000
2000
svake nedelje --
00:45
complaints including one we get very often,
12
30000
3000
žalbe, ukljujući jednu koju često dobijamo,
00:48
which is to say the very title, "Infinite Monkey Cage,"
13
33000
3000
da sam naziv, ''Beskonačni kavez za majmune'',
00:51
celebrates the idea of vivisection.
14
36000
3000
propagira ideju vivisekcije.
00:54
We have made it quite clear to these people
15
39000
2000
Veoma jasno smo rekli ovim ljudima
00:56
that an infinite monkey cage is roomy.
16
41000
3000
da je beskonačni kavez za majmune prostran.
00:59
(Laughter)
17
44000
2000
(Smeh)
01:01
We also had someone else who said,
18
46000
2000
Takođe nam je neko drugi rekao,
01:03
"'The Infinite Monkey Cage' idea is ridiculous.
19
48000
2000
da je ideja o ''Beskonačnom kavezu za majmune'' smešna.
01:05
An infinite number of monkeys
20
50000
2000
Beskonačni broj majmuna
01:07
could never write the works of Shakespeare.
21
52000
2000
nikada ne bi mogao da napiše dela Šekspira.
01:09
We know this because they did an experiment."
22
54000
3000
To znamo jer smo uradili eksperiment''.
01:12
Yes, they gave 12 monkeys a typewriter for a week,
23
57000
4000
Da, dali su pisaću mašinu 12 majmuna nedelju dana,
01:16
and after a week, they only used it as a bathroom.
24
61000
3000
i nakon nedelju dana, samo su je koristili kao toalet.
01:19
(Laughter)
25
64000
2000
(Smeh)
01:21
So the main element though, the main complaint we get --
26
66000
2000
Znači glavni element, glavna pritužba koju dobijamo --
01:23
and one that I find most worrying --
27
68000
2000
i koja mene najviše brine --
01:25
is that people say, "Oh, why do you insist
28
70000
3000
je da nam ljudi govore, ''Zašto insistirate
01:28
on ruining the magic?
29
73000
2000
na tome da uništavate magiju?
01:30
You bring in science, and it ruins the magic."
30
75000
2000
Uvodite nauku i to uništava magiju.''
01:32
Now I'm an arts graduate;
31
77000
2000
Ja sam završio društvene nauke;
01:34
I love myth and magic
32
79000
2000
Volim mit i magiju
01:36
and existentialism and self-loathing.
33
81000
2000
i egzistencijalizam i samoprezir.
01:38
That's what I do.
34
83000
2000
Time se bavim.
01:40
But I also don't understand
35
85000
2000
Ali ne mogu da shvatim
01:42
how it does ruin the magic.
36
87000
2000
kako to uništava magiju.
01:44
All of the magic, I think,
37
89000
2000
Sva magija, mislim,
01:46
that may well be taken away by science
38
91000
2000
koju nauka ipak može oduzeti
01:48
is then replaced by something as wonderful.
39
93000
2000
se onda zamenjuje nečim podjednako divnim.
01:50
Astrology, for instance:
40
95000
2000
Astrologija, na primer:
01:52
like many rationalists, I'm a Pisces.
41
97000
3000
kao i mnogi racionalisti, ja sam Riba.
01:55
(Laughter)
42
100000
3000
(Smeh)
01:58
Now astrology --
43
103000
2000
Sada astrologija --
02:00
we remove the banal idea
44
105000
2000
mi odbijamo banalnu ideju
02:02
that your life could be predicted;
45
107000
2000
da se vaš život može predvideti;
02:04
that you'll, perhaps today, meet a lucky man
46
109000
2000
da ćete, možda danas, sresti srećnog čoveka
02:06
who's wearing a hat.
47
111000
2000
koji nosi šešir.
02:08
That is gone.
48
113000
2000
Toga nema.
02:10
But if we want to look at the sky and see predictions, we still can.
49
115000
3000
Ali ako želimo da pogledamo u nebo i nešto predvidimo, to i dalje možemo.
02:13
We can see predictions of galaxies forming,
50
118000
3000
Postoje predviđanja o formiranju galaksija,
02:16
of galaxies colliding into each other, of new solar systems.
51
121000
3000
o galaksijama koje se sudaraju međusobno, o novi sunčevim sistemima.
02:19
This is a wonderful thing.
52
124000
2000
To je divna stvar.
02:21
If the Sun could one day -- and indeed the Earth, in fact --
53
126000
3000
Ako bi Sunce jednog dana - i zapravo Zemlja, -
02:24
if the Earth could read its own astrological, astronomical chart,
54
129000
4000
ako bi Zemlja mogla da čita svoju astrološku, astronomsku kartu,
02:28
one day it would say,
55
133000
2000
jednog dana bi tu pisalo,
02:30
"Not a good day for making plans.
56
135000
2000
''Nije dobar dan za pravljenje planova.
02:32
You'll been engulfed by a red giant."
57
137000
2000
Progutaće vas crveni džin''.
02:34
And that to me as well,
58
139000
2000
I to je za mene takođe,
02:36
that if you think I'm worried about losing worlds,
59
141000
3000
ako mislite da me brine to što gubimo svetove,
02:39
well Many Worlds theory --
60
144000
2000
zapravo teorija o Mnoštvu svetova --
02:41
one of the most beautiful, fascinating,
61
146000
3000
je jedna od najlepših, najfascinantnijih,
02:44
sometimes terrifying ideas
62
149000
2000
ponekada najužasnijih ideja
02:46
from the quantum interpretation --
63
151000
2000
od kvantnog tumačenja --
02:48
is a wonderful thing.
64
153000
2000
je divna stvar.
02:50
That every person here, every decision that you've made today,
65
155000
3000
Da je svaka osoba ovde, svaka odluka koju ste danas doneli,
02:53
every decision you've made in your life,
66
158000
2000
svaka odluka koju ste ikada doneli u životu,
02:55
you've not really made that decision,
67
160000
2000
niste zapravo doneli tu odluku,
02:57
but in fact, every single permutation of those decisions
68
162000
4000
već zapravo, svaka pojedinačna permutacija tih odluka
03:01
is made, each one going off into a new universe.
69
166000
3000
je doneta, svaka odlazi u novi svet.
03:04
That is a wonderful idea.
70
169000
2000
To je divna ideja.
03:06
If you ever think that your life is rubbish,
71
171000
4000
Ako ikada posmislite da je vaš život promašen,
03:10
always remember
72
175000
2000
uvek se setite
03:12
there's another you that's made much worse decisions than that.
73
177000
3000
da postoji još neki u kome ste doneli mnogo gore odluke od toga.
03:15
(Laughter)
74
180000
2000
(Smeh)
03:17
If you ever think, "Ah, I want to end it all,"
75
182000
2000
Ako ikada pomislite, ''Želim da sve okončam'',
03:19
don't end it all.
76
184000
2000
nemojte.
03:21
Remember that in the majority of universes,
77
186000
2000
Setite se da u većini svetova,
03:23
you don't even exist in the first place.
78
188000
2000
za početak čak ni ne postojite.
03:25
This to me, in its own strange way,
79
190000
3000
To je meni, na neki čudan način,
03:28
is very, very comforting.
80
193000
2000
veoma umirujuće.
03:30
Now reincarnation, that's another thing gone -- the afterlife.
81
195000
2000
A reinkarnacija, još jedna stvar koje nema - zagrobni život.
03:32
But it's not gone.
82
197000
2000
Ali nije nestala.
03:34
Science actually says
83
199000
2000
Nauka zapravo kaže
03:36
we will live forever.
84
201000
3000
da ćemo živeti zauvek.
03:39
Well, there is one proviso.
85
204000
2000
Mada, ima jedan uslov.
03:41
We won't actually live forever. You won't live forever.
86
206000
3000
Nećemo mi zapravo živeti zauvek. Nećete vi živeti zauvek.
03:44
Your consciousness, the you-ness of you, the me-ness of me --
87
209000
3000
Vaša svest, ono što vas čini vama i mene mene --
03:47
that gets this one go.
88
212000
3000
to ima samo ovu jednu šansu.
03:50
But every single thing that makes us,
89
215000
2000
Ali svaka pojedina stvar koja nas čini,
03:52
every atom in us,
90
217000
2000
svaki atom u nama,
03:54
has already created a myriad of different things
91
219000
3000
je već stvorio niz različitih stvari
03:57
and will go on to create a myriad of new things.
92
222000
3000
i nastaviće da stvara niz novih stvari.
04:00
We have been mountains
93
225000
3000
Bili smo planine
04:03
and apples and pulsars
94
228000
2000
i jabuke i pulsari
04:05
and other people's knees.
95
230000
2000
i kolena drugih ljudi.
04:07
Who knows, maybe one of your atoms was once Napoleon's knee.
96
232000
3000
Ko zna, možda je jedan od vaših atoma jednom bio Napoleonovo koleno.
04:10
That is a good thing.
97
235000
2000
To je dobra stvar.
04:12
Unlike the occupants of the universe,
98
237000
2000
Za razliku od stanovnika svemira,
04:14
the universe itself is not wasteful.
99
239000
3000
sam svemir ništa ne baca.
04:17
We are all totally recyclable.
100
242000
2000
Mi se svi potpuno možemo reciklirati.
04:19
And when we die,
101
244000
2000
A kada umremo,
04:21
we don't even have to be placed in different refuse sacs.
102
246000
3000
ne moraju nas čak ni razvrstavati po kesama za različite materijale.
04:24
This is a wonderful thing.
103
249000
2000
To je divna stvar.
04:26
Understanding, to me,
104
251000
2000
Razumevanje, po meni,
04:28
does not remove the wonder and the joy.
105
253000
4000
ne uništava divljenje i radost.
04:32
For instance, my wife could turn to me and she may say,
106
257000
3000
Na primer, moja žena me može pitati,
04:35
"Why do you love me?"
107
260000
2000
''Zašto me voliš?''
04:37
And I can with all honesty
108
262000
2000
A ja je potpuno iskreno
04:39
look her in the eye and say,
109
264000
2000
mogu pogledati u oči i reći,
04:41
"Because our pheromones
110
266000
2000
''Jer su se naši feromoni
04:43
matched our olfactory receptors."
111
268000
3000
poklopili sa našim receptorima za miris''.
04:46
(Laughter)
112
271000
2000
(Smeh)
04:48
Though I'll probably also say something
113
273000
2000
Mada bih verovatno dodao nešto
04:50
about her hair and personality as well.
114
275000
2000
o njenoj kosi i ličnosti takođe.
04:52
And that is a wonderful thing there.
115
277000
3000
I to je divna stvar ovde.
04:55
Love does not die because of that thing.
116
280000
2000
Ljubav ne umire zbog toga.
04:57
Pain doesn't go away either.
117
282000
2000
Ali ni bol ne prestaje.
04:59
This is a terrible thing, even though I understand pain.
118
284000
2000
To je užasna stvar, iako razumem bol.
05:01
If someone punches me --
119
286000
2000
Ako me neko udari --
05:03
and because of my personality,
120
288000
2000
i to je zbog moje ličnosti,
05:05
this is recently a regular occurrence --
121
290000
2000
od nedavno to je redovna pojava --
05:07
I understand where the pain comes from.
122
292000
2000
ja znam odakle dolazi bol.
05:09
It is basically momentum to energy
123
294000
3000
To je u suštini sila zamaha pretvorena u energiju
05:12
where the four-vector is constant -- that's what it is.
124
297000
2000
gde su četiri vektora konstantni - to je to.
05:14
But at no point can I react and go,
125
299000
2000
Ali ja nikada neću reagovati i reći,
05:16
"Ha! Is that the best momentum-to-energy fourth vector constant you've got?"
126
301000
5000
''Ha! Da li je to najbolje pretvaranje sile zamaha u energiju pri konstanti od četiri vektora koje imaš?''
05:21
No, I just spit out a tooth.
127
306000
2000
Ne, samo ću ispljunuti zub.
05:23
(Laughter)
128
308000
2000
(Smeh)
05:25
And that is all of these different things -- the love for my child.
129
310000
3000
I to su sve te različite stvari - ljubav prema mom detetu.
05:28
I have a son. His name is Archie.
130
313000
2000
Imam sina. Zove se Arči.
05:30
I'm very lucky,
131
315000
2000
Veoma sam srećan,
05:32
because he's better than all the other children.
132
317000
2000
jer je bolji od sve ostale dece.
05:34
Now I know you don't think that.
133
319000
2000
Znam da vi tako ne mislite.
05:36
You may well have your own children
134
321000
2000
Možda imate sopstvenu decu
05:38
and think, "Oh no, my child's best."
135
323000
3000
i mislite, ''Ne, moje dete je najbolje''.
05:41
That's the wonderful thing about evolution --
136
326000
2000
To je divna stvar kod evolucije --
05:43
the predilection to believe
137
328000
2000
predodređenost da verujete
05:45
that our child is best.
138
330000
2000
da je vaše dete najbolje.
05:47
Now in many ways, that's just a survival thing.
139
332000
3000
U mnogim aspektima, to je pitanje preživljavanja.
05:50
The fact we see here is the vehicle for our genes,
140
335000
3000
Činjenica da u njemu vidimo sredstvo za prenos naših gena,
05:53
and therefore we love it.
141
338000
2000
i da ga zato volimo.
05:55
But we don't notice that bit; we just unconditionally love.
142
340000
3000
Ali taj deo ne primećujemo; mi samo bezuslovno volimo.
05:58
That is a wonderful thing.
143
343000
2000
To je divna stvar.
06:00
Though I should say that my son is best
144
345000
2000
Mada ću ipak reći da je moj sin najbolji
06:02
and is better than your children.
145
347000
3000
i bolji od vaše dece.
06:05
I've done some tests.
146
350000
2000
Testirao sam ga.
06:07
And all of these things to me
147
352000
2000
I sve ove stvari mene
06:09
give such joy and excitement and wonder.
148
354000
3000
toliko raduju i uzbuđuju i divne su.
06:12
Even quantum mechanics can give you an excuse
149
357000
3000
Čak vam i kvantna mehanika može dati izgovor
06:15
for bad housework, for instance.
150
360000
2000
da ne radite po kući, na primer.
06:17
Perhaps you've been at home for a week on your own.
151
362000
3000
Možda ste ostali sami kod kuće nedelju dana.
06:20
You house is in a terrible state.
152
365000
2000
Kuća je u užasnom stanju.
06:22
Your partner is about to return.
153
367000
2000
Partner samo što se nije vratio.
06:24
You think, what should I do?
154
369000
2000
Mislite, šta da radim?
06:26
Do nothing.
155
371000
2000
Ništa.
06:28
All you have to do
156
373000
2000
Sve što je potrebno
06:30
is, when she walks in, using a quantum interpretation,
157
375000
2000
jeste kada uđe, koristeći kvantno tumačenje,
06:32
say, "I'm so sorry.
158
377000
2000
da kažete, ''Izvini,
06:34
I stopped observing the house for a moment,
159
379000
2000
ali prestao sam da posmatram kuću na trenutak
06:36
and when I started observing again,
160
381000
2000
i kada sam počeo ponovo da je posmatram,
06:38
everything had happened."
161
383000
2000
sve se dogodilo''.
06:40
(Laughter)
162
385000
2000
(Smeh)
06:42
That's the strong anthropic principle of vacuuming.
163
387000
3000
To je jaki antropski princip usisavanja.
06:46
For me, it's a very, very important thing.
164
391000
2000
Za mene, to je veoma važna stvar.
06:48
Even on my journey up here --
165
393000
2000
Čak i moje putovanje do ovde --
06:50
the joy that I have on my journey up here every single time.
166
395000
2000
radost koju doživljavam na ovom putu, svaki put.
06:52
If you actually think, you remove the myth and there is still something wonderful.
167
397000
3000
Ako zapravo razmislite o tome, ukidate mit ali i dalje je to nešto divno.
06:55
I'm sitting on a train.
168
400000
2000
Sedim u vozu.
06:57
Every time I breathe in,
169
402000
2000
I svaki put kada udahnem,
06:59
I'm breathing in a million-billion-billion
170
404000
2000
Udišem milion-milijardu-milijardu
07:01
atoms of oxygen.
171
406000
2000
atoma kiseonika.
07:03
I'm sitting on a chair.
172
408000
2000
Sedim na stolici.
07:05
Even though I know the chair is made of atoms
173
410000
2000
Iako znam da je stolica napravljena od atoma
07:07
and therefore actually in many ways empty space,
174
412000
2000
i zato je u mnogome prazan prostor,
07:09
I find it comfortable.
175
414000
2000
meni je udobna.
07:11
I look out the window, and I realize
176
416000
2000
Pogledam kroz prozor i shvatim
07:13
that every single time we stop and I look out that window,
177
418000
2000
da svaki put kada stanemo i kada pogledam kroz prozor,
07:15
framed in that window,
178
420000
2000
uokvireno kroz taj prozor,
07:17
wherever we are,
179
422000
2000
gde god da smo,
07:19
I am observing more life
180
424000
2000
posmatram više života
07:21
than there is in the rest of the known universe
181
426000
3000
nego što postoji u ostatku poznatog svemira
07:24
beyond the planet Earth.
182
429000
2000
van planete Zemlje.
07:26
If you go to the safari parks
183
431000
2000
Ako budete išli na safari
07:28
on Saturn or Jupiter,
184
433000
2000
na Saturnu ili Jupiteru,
07:30
you will be disappointed.
185
435000
2000
bićete razočarani.
07:32
And I realize I'm observing this
186
437000
2000
Shvatam da ovo primećujem
07:34
with the brain, the human brain,
187
439000
2000
mozgom, ljudskim mozgom,
07:36
the most complex thing in the known universe.
188
441000
3000
najsloženijom stvari u poznatom svemiru.
07:39
That, to me, is an incredible thing.
189
444000
2000
To je za mene neverovatno.
07:41
And do you know what, that might be enough.
190
446000
3000
I znate šta, to je možda i dovoljno.
07:44
Steven Weinberg, the Nobel laureate, once said,
191
449000
3000
Stiven Vajnberg, dobitnik Nobelove nagrade, je jednom rekao,
07:47
"The more the universe seems comprehensible,
192
452000
2000
''Što nam se svemir čini razumljivijim,
07:49
the more it seems pointless."
193
454000
2000
to se više čini da nema smisla''.
07:51
Now for some people,
194
456000
2000
Mada nekim ljudima,
07:53
that seems to lead to an idea of nihilism.
195
458000
2000
to se čini da vodi do ideje nihilizma.
07:55
But for me, it doesn't. That is a wonderful thing.
196
460000
3000
Ali meni ne. To je divna stvar.
07:58
I'm glad the universe is pointless.
197
463000
2000
Drago mi je što svemir nema smisla.
08:00
It means if I get to the end of my life,
198
465000
2000
To znači da mogu da završim svoj život,
08:02
the universe can't turn to me and go, "What have you been doing, you idiot?
199
467000
3000
i da mi svemir ne može reći, ''Šta si radio, idiote?
08:05
That's not the point."
200
470000
2000
To nije bio smisao toga''.
08:07
I can make my own purpose.
201
472000
2000
Mogu sam da stvorim svoj smisao.
08:09
You can make your own purpose.
202
474000
2000
Vi možete da stvorite svoj smisao.
08:11
We have the individual power
203
476000
2000
Imate individualnu moć
08:13
to go, "This is what I want to do."
204
478000
2000
da kažete, ''Ovo je ono što želim da radim''.
08:15
And in a pointless universe, that, to me, is a wonderful thing.
205
480000
3000
I u svemiru bez smisla, to je meni, divna stvar.
08:18
I have chosen to make silly jokes
206
483000
2000
Ja sam odabrao da smišljam luckaste viceve
08:20
about quantum mechanics and the Copenhagen interpretation.
207
485000
3000
o kvantnoj mehanici i interpretaciji iz Kopenhagena.
08:23
You, I imagine, can do much better things with your time.
208
488000
3000
Vi, verovatno, mnogo pametnije trošite vreme.
08:26
Thank you very much. Goodbye.
209
491000
2000
Hvala puno. Doviđenja.
08:28
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Robin Ince - ComedianThe rational-minded Robin Ince conducts live experiments in comedy.
Why you should listen
Is rational thought funny? And is comedy scientific? are the pair of questions on which Robin Ince has built his recent career. On his own and as part of the BBC4 radio show The Infinite Monkey Cage, Robin Ince makes science-friendly comedy with pals like Brian Cox, Ben Goldacre and Simon Singh. TIMC just won the Best Speech Programme at the 2011 Sony Radio Awards, the first science program to win in ... aeons. They recently took the show on the road as "Uncaged Monkeys," about which the Telegraph's critic said, "I was expecting more knickers thrown at the stage, to be honest."
Onstage, Ince conducts live experiments into the science of comedy and laughter. He and his team set out to discover secret of timing, discover if people are born funny, and if computers can tell jokes.
He says: "Most scientists I know have movies and novels in their houses, whereas there are novelists whose houses I've been to who don't have any science books."
