滑稽的查尔斯·弗莱舍发表了一次堪称史诗的演讲，演讲以戏虐的风格模仿了TED由来已久的几个主题：图示、几何学、数字、图表以及邮票，把它们放在一起编了一套独特的理论：万物皆属“莫利德”

I am going to be talking about secrets.
0
0
3000
我要告诉大家一个秘密。
00:18
Obviously the best way to divulge a secret
1
3000
2000
一般来说，泄露秘密的最好办法就是
00:20
is to tell someone to not say anything about it.
2
5000
3000
告诫某人千万不要说出去
00:23
(Laughter)
3
8000
2000
（笑）
00:25
Secrets. I'm using PowerPoint this year
4
10000
2000
秘密就是，我目前正在用PowerPoint
00:27
just because, you know, I'm into the TED thing.
5
12000
3000
就是因为，你知道的，我正在用TED做演讲
00:30
(Laughter)
6
15000
1000
（笑）
00:31
And when you use these things you don't have to go like that.
7
16000
2000
还有就是你用这些东西时，你不必非得那样做。
00:33
You just press it.
8
18000
2000
按一下就好了。
00:35
(Laughter)
9
20000
4000
（笑）
00:39
Oh, man. Um, yes.
10
24000
3000
哦，哥们，嗯，就这样。
00:42
(Laughter)
11
27000
2000
（笑）
00:44
Yes. I'm sure! Just change it!
12
29000
2000
是的，真的是这样！换一张！
00:46
(Laughter)
13
31000
5000
（笑）
00:51
Is Bill Gates here?
14
36000
3000
比尔盖茨在这儿吗？
00:54
Change it! Come on! What?
15
39000
2000
换一张！快点！怎么回事？
00:56
(Laughter)
16
41000
1000
（笑）
00:57
Ah! Okay.
17
42000
2000
恩，好的。
00:59
That's not my slides, but it's okay.
18
44000
2000
这可不是我的幻灯片，不过这张还行。
01:01
(Laughter)
19
46000
3000
（笑）
01:04
As you can see, these are all maps.
20
49000
3000
你看，这只是些地图。
01:07
And maps are important devices for transferring information,
21
52000
4000
有了人类的认知能力，
01:11
especially if you have human cognitive ability.
22
56000
4000
地图在传递信息方面，就尤为重要。
01:15
We can see that all formulas are really maps.
23
60000
4000
可以看出，所有的公式其实都是些示意图。
01:19
Now, as humans, we make maps of places
24
64000
2000
现在，人在地图上画的地方
01:21
that we seldom even go,
25
66000
2000
我们自己都很少去
01:23
which seems a little wasteful of time.
26
68000
2000
听起来好像有点浪费时间
01:25
This, of course, is a map of the moon.
27
70000
4000
这个一看就知道是个月球地图
01:29
There're some very delightful names.
28
74000
2000
还起了许多好听的名字。
01:31
Tranquilacalitis, [unclear]. My favorite is Frigoris.
29
76000
3000
坦奎拉克雷提斯。冷海，这名字我喜欢.
01:34
What are these people thinking? Frigoris?
30
79000
3000
这些人都在想什么啊！居然叫冷海?
01:37
What the Frigoris you doing? Names are important.
31
82000
2000
这个名字怎么了？名字是很重要的。
01:39
Frigoris? This is the Moon. People could live there one day.
32
84000
3000
冷海？这可是月球啊。人类会在未来的某一天住在那的。
01:42
I'll meet you at Frigoris. No. I don't think so.
33
87000
2000
那咱们冷海见吧。我可不这么想。
01:44
(Laughter)
34
89000
3000
（笑）
01:47
There we see Mars, again with various names.
35
92000
2000
这还有彗星的地图，还有各种各样的名字。
01:49
And this is all done, by the way,
36
94000
2000
顺便说一下，
01:51
by the International Astronomical Union.
37
96000
2000
这都是国际天文学联合会的杰作。
01:53
This is an actual group of people
38
98000
3000
这一群人坐在一起
01:56
that sit around naming planetary objects.
39
101000
3000
讨论怎么给行星起名字。
01:59
This is from their actual book.
40
104000
4000
这是从他们的书中节选的。
02:03
These are some of the names that they have chosen, ladies and gentlemen.
41
108000
3000
女士们，先生们，这就是他们选的一些名字。
02:06
I'll go through a little of them. Bolotnitsa.
42
111000
3000
我来看几个吧。布隆滕尼撒
02:09
That, of course, is the Slavic swamp mermaid.
43
114000
3000
这是斯拉夫语中的湿地美人鱼的意思。
02:12
(Laughter)
44
117000
1000
（笑）
02:13
Now I think the whole concept of a mermaid
45
118000
2000
我怎么都不能把美人鱼
02:15
doesn't really blend into the swamp feel.
46
120000
3000
和沼泽地扯上关系，感觉不协调。®
02:18
(Laughter)
47
123000
1000
（笑）
02:19
"Oh look! Mermaid come out of swamp. Oh boy!
48
124000
3000
哦，看哪！沼泽地里有一条美人鱼。哦，天哪！
02:22
It's time for Bolotnitsa!"
49
127000
2000
到沼泽美人鱼时间啦！
02:24
(Laughter)
50
129000
3000
（笑）
02:27
Djabran Fluctus.
51
132000
2000
吉布仑 富卢克图斯
02:29
If that don't flow off the tongue, what does?
52
134000
3000
这太拗口了！
02:32
(Laughter)
53
137000
2000
（笑）
02:34
I mean kids are studying this stuff
54
139000
2000
我指的是孩子们都在学这东西，
02:36
and they've got the word "fluctus" up there. That's wrong.
55
141000
2000
而且都学会了。那样可不好。
02:38
(Laughter)
56
143000
1000
（笑）
02:39
One dyslexic kid and he could be ruining his life.
57
144000
3000
如果是有阅读障碍的孩子，那可就痛苦了。
02:42
(Laughter)
58
147000
2000
（笑）
02:44
"It fluctus up, Mama."
59
149000
3000
“这太拗口了，妈妈。”
02:47
Hikuleo Fluctus.
60
152000
2000
黑酷雷 富鲁克鲁斯
02:49
That's a little more flowing. Hikuleo
61
154000
2000
这名字就通顺点了。黑酷雷
02:51
sounds like a kind of a Leonardo DiCaprio
62
156000
4000
听起来有点像莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥
02:55
17 syllable thing.
63
160000
2000
共有17个音节。
02:57
And that's the Tonga underworld.
64
162000
2000
这可是汤加的黑社会啊。
02:59
And one of my favorites is the Itoki Fluctus,
65
164000
2000
这是我喜欢的一个名字，依托卡 富鲁克鲁斯,
03:01
who is the Nicaraguan goddess of insects, stars, and planets.
66
166000
4000
她是尼加拉瓜的女神，主管虫类，星宿和行星。
03:05
Now, if you're a goddess of stars and planets
67
170000
3000
现在，如果你是主管星宿和行星的女神，
03:08
wouldn't you relegate insects to somebody else?
68
173000
3000
你不会把一只虫子变成一个人吧？
03:11
(Laughter)
69
176000
1000
（笑）
03:12
"No, no, really, I'm so busy with the stars.
70
177000
2000
“不不，绝不会。我还要忙着星宿的事情哪！
03:14
Would you mind taking the insects? Thank you darling.
71
179000
3000
请你把昆虫带走，好吗？谢谢你，亲爱的！
03:17
Oh take the spiders too. I know they're not insects, but I don't care.
72
182000
3000
哦，还有蜘蛛。我知道他们不是昆虫，不管它。
03:20
Monkeys, chimps, just get rid of the hairy creatures."
73
185000
3000
像那些猴子啊，黑猩猩之类的，这些有毛发的生物，都让他们从地球消失吧。”
03:23
(Laughter)
74
188000
2000
（笑）
03:25
Now, we're going to be going to Mars one day. And when we do,
75
190000
3000
将来有一天我们会登上火星。我们要上去了，
03:28
it's going to be unfair for the people that are living there
76
193000
2000
火星人可就倒霉了
03:30
to have to live with these ridiculous names.
77
195000
2000
他们以后要一直听到这些奇怪的名字。
03:32
So, you'll be on Mars, and you're at
78
197000
2000
有一天你会站在火星上，身处
03:34
Hellespointica Depressio
79
199000
3000
海里斯庞提卡 迪普锐斯（意为凹陷）
03:37
which has got to be a really "up" place.
80
202000
2000
那地方可真高啊。
03:39
(Laughter)
81
204000
2000
（笑）
03:41
Yeah, I'm at the Depressio, and I want to get over to Amazonis
82
206000
3000
是啊，我身在迪普锐斯，还想穿过亚马逊。
03:44
so I plug it into the Mars map,
83
209000
2000
所以我把它插进火星地图里了。
03:46
and click the button and there's my directions.
84
211000
2000
然后按一下这个按钮，就能看到我的指示。
03:48
I go to Chrysokeras.
85
213000
2000
我要去科瑞索克莱斯.
03:50
(Laughter) Left to the Thymiamata.
86
215000
3000
（笑）在赛梅塔左边。
03:53
Then to Niliacus Lacus,
87
218000
2000
接着再到内雷卡斯 拉克丝,
03:55
which is not a bad name.
88
220000
2000
这个名字还不算坏。
03:57
Niliacus Lacus, try to get the practice, slick-a-tick-a-bacus.
89
222000
3000
内雷卡斯 拉克丝,多练几遍，说的就溜啦。
04:00
That's a cool name. I will say that.
90
225000
2000
不得不说，这名字不错。
04:02
So, I hold back a little of my venom
91
227000
2000
所以，我应该对这些天文学的中的用词不当
04:04
for these astronomical misnomers.
92
229000
2000
少挑点毛病。
04:06
And then of course Arnon to Thoth.
93
231000
2000
接下来当然是希伯来到图特
04:08
And of course there will be advertisements.
94
233000
2000
还有广告。
04:10
This is from their rule book, the International Astronomical Union.
95
235000
3000
规则书上写到，国际天文学联合会
04:13
And you know they're international because
96
238000
1000
你知道的，之所以称之为国际是因为
04:14
they put it "en Francais" as well.
97
239000
3000
他们附带着法文翻译。
04:17
L'Union Astronomique Internationale,
98
242000
2000
左边的“国际天文联合会”,
04:19
for those of you who don't speak French.
99
244000
2000
这是为你们这些不懂法语的人准备的。
04:21
I thought I'd translate for you.
100
246000
2000
我想我应该给你们翻译过来。
04:23
From the rulebook: Nomenclature is a tool.
101
248000
2000
规则手册上说：术语是一种工具。®
04:25
The first consideration, make it clear, simple and unambiguous.
102
250000
4000
首先这使得原文清楚简洁，表达通顺。
04:29
And I think that Djabran Fluctus,
103
254000
2000
我认为吉布仑 富鲁克图斯
04:31
that fits that mode.
104
256000
2000
就是一个典型。
04:33
(Laughter)
105
258000
2000
（笑）
04:35
That's simple, the goddess of goats, very simple.
106
260000
2000
这很简单，山羊女神，你瞧，多么简单。
04:37
Djabran Fluctus.
107
262000
2000
吉布仑 富鲁克图斯
04:39
"Now, Frank is this clear to you, Djabran Fluctus?"
108
264000
2000
好了，现在你明白吉布仑 富鲁克图斯什么意思了吧？
04:41
"Yeah, that's the goat goddess right? The Abacazanian?
109
266000
4000
恩，那是山羊女神，是吧？阿巴卡扎捏?
04:45
(Laughter)
110
270000
1000
（笑）
04:46
It's clear to me."
111
271000
2000
我明白了
04:48
"Listen, I'm going back to the swamp mermaid. Can you call me in a little while?"
112
273000
3000
听着，我现在要提到湿地美人鱼了。你一会再叫我，好吗？
04:51
(Laughter)
113
276000
2000
（笑）
04:53
Also, from the actual document
114
278000
2000
还有，大家看这些材料，
04:55
I highlighted a part I thought may be of interest.
115
280000
2000
我标注了一部分，我个人认为这部分挺有意思。
04:57
Anyone can suggest changing a name.
116
282000
3000
任何人都可以对改名提出自己的意见。
05:00
So, I look to you, fellow member of the Earth community.
117
285000
4000
各位同仁，我现在就指望住在地球上的诸位了
05:04
We've got to change this stuff up fast.
118
289000
3000
我们要尽快改变这一现状
05:07
So, these are actual names of people that work there.
119
292000
3000
这些是那里工作人员的真实姓名
05:10
I did some more investigation.
120
295000
2000
我还做了些调查
05:12
These are more people working for this group.
121
297000
3000
现在越来越多的人为这个团体工作
05:15
And, as you can see, they don't use their first names.
122
300000
4000
你也看到，他们不用自己的姓。
05:19
(Laughter)
123
304000
1000
（笑）
05:20
These are people naming planets, and they won't use their first names.
124
305000
3000
这些人给星球起名字，他们却不用自己的姓。
05:23
Something is askew here.
125
308000
2000
这有点蹊跷。
05:25
(Laughter)
126
310000
1000
（笑）
05:26
Is it because his name is really Jupiter Blunck?
127
311000
3000
难道是因为他的名字真的是木星·布隆克？
05:29
(Laughter)
128
314000
2000
（笑）
05:31
Is that Ganymede Andromeda Burba?
129
316000
2000
还是木卫·三仙女座·博巴
05:33
(Laughter)
130
318000
1000
（笑）
05:34
Is that Mars Ya Marov?
131
319000
2000
又或者叫火星·亚·麦若
05:36
I don't know. But it's investigative material, no doubt.
132
321000
3000
这我不知道。但是这是调查材料啊，绝对真实。
05:39
There are some mapping people who do use their names.
133
324000
4000
有一些绘图的人，他们的确用了自己的名字。
05:43
Witness please, Eugene Shoemaker,
134
328000
2000
大家请看，尤金·舒梅克
05:45
who, diligently, from a young boy
135
330000
2000
他从年轻的时候就奋发努力
05:47
decided he wanted to make maps of celestial bodies.
136
332000
3000
立志要绘制天体地图
05:50
Must have been a very interesting day in the Shoemaker house.
137
335000
2000
这样的鞋匠家的一天，一定十分有趣
05:52
"Mom, I want to make maps."
138
337000
2000
“妈妈，我想画地图。”
05:54
"That's wonderful Eugene. You could make maps of Toronto."
139
339000
3000
太棒了，尤金。你可以画一画多伦多的地图。
05:57
"No, I want to make maps of planets."
140
342000
2000
不，我想画各个行星的地图。
05:59
"Yeah, go to your room."
141
344000
2000
“好的，回你房间去。”
06:01
(Laughter)
142
346000
3000
（笑）
06:04
Martians, Venusians, Jovians.
143
349000
2000
火星，金星，木星
06:06
We have names for places where people don't exist.
144
351000
5000
像这些地方，荒芜人烟。
06:11
That seems a little silly to me.
145
356000
2000
我觉着有点傻。
06:13
There are no Jovians.
146
358000
2000
没有朱庇特。
06:15
Getting back to my premise, I used stamps, by the way,
147
360000
2000
顺便说一下，前提是，我用的是邮票
06:17
because you don't have to pay anybody for the rights.
148
362000
2000
因为你不用给别人版权税
06:19
(Laughter)
149
364000
2000
（笑）
06:21
(Applause)
150
366000
1000
（掌声）
06:22
There is obviously Einstein, Niels Bohr,
151
367000
2000
显然这里还有爱因斯坦，内尔斯·波尔
06:24
de Fermat's last theorem, and I'm not sure whether that's James Coburn
152
369000
3000
迪福马特的最新定理，我不确定这是詹姆斯·科伯恩的
06:27
or Richard Harris.
153
372000
2000
还是理查德·哈里斯的
06:29
(Laughter)
154
374000
2000
（笑）
06:31
It's definitely one of the two. I'm not really clear which one.
155
376000
2000
肯定是其中一个。我不确定罢了。
06:33
But obviously the point is that numbers are maps.
156
378000
2000
但是很明显重点在于地图就是数据。
06:35
And within numbers, is there an underlying secret to the universe?
157
380000
4000
在这些数据当中，还潜藏着什么宇宙的秘密？
06:39
That is the premise of this particular presentation.
158
384000
3000
这就是这次特别发言的前提。
06:42
By the way, that's a natural picture of Saturn,
159
387000
3000
顺便说一下，这是土星的一张天然照片，
06:45
no adjustments. I mean that's just beautiful.
160
390000
3000
没有修改过。我是说，这很漂亮。
06:48
So beautiful that I will even give up a laugh
161
393000
2000
太漂亮了。我对这个星球的爱
06:50
to explain my love of this particular planet,
162
395000
4000
无以言表。
06:54
and the day Saturday, named after it, wonderfully.
163
399000
3000
而且，周六就是由它命名，太棒了！
06:57
So, formulas relate number to form.
164
402000
2000
因此，用算式把数字组合起来。
06:59
That's Euler, his formula
165
404000
3000
那是欧拉，他的算式
07:02
was one of the inspirations that lead to the beginning of string theory
166
407000
3000
是发现弦理论的灵感来源之一。
07:05
which is kind of cool, not that funny, but it is cool.
167
410000
2000
看起来有点酷，很枯燥，但很酷
07:07
(Laughter)
168
412000
2000
（笑）
07:09
He was also famous for having no body.
169
414000
2000
他还以没有身体（没有伙伴）而著称。
07:11
(Laughter)
170
416000
3000
（笑）
07:14
Which a lot of you are like, "How did he figure that out?"
171
419000
2000
在这方面，你和他很像啊。“他是怎么想出来的啊？”
07:16
He's got no body, no man, just a head floating high.
172
421000
3000
他没有身体，只有头在半空中漂浮着。
07:19
Here comes Euler.
173
424000
2000
欧拉来啦.
07:21
(Laughter)
174
426000
2000
（笑）
07:23
And that's an icosahedron,
175
428000
3000
这是个二十面体。
07:26
which is one of the five sacred solids, very important shapes.
176
431000
3000
它是五个神圣的立方体之一，非常重要。
07:29
You see the icosahedron again.
177
434000
2000
你看，又是个二十面体。
07:31
The dodecahedron, it's dual.
178
436000
2000
这个十二面体是双面的。
07:33
There is a dodecahedron which I had to do in my room last night.
179
438000
3000
这是我昨晚在房间做得。
07:36
The five sacred solids, as you can see there.
180
441000
4000
你看，那就是五个神圣立方体
07:40
Which is not to be confused with the five sacred salads.
181
445000
2000
别跟沙拉混了。（solids和salads音近）
07:42
(Laughter)
182
447000
2000
（笑）
07:44
Blue cheese, ranch, oil and vinegar, thousand islands and house.
183
449000
2000
带蓝纹的乳酪，牧场，这是截然不同的东西。还有群岛和房屋
07:46
I suggest the house.
184
451000
3000
我推荐房屋。
07:49
The reality, now here is something important.
185
454000
2000
实际上，有一点值得注意，
07:51
What's important about this is
186
456000
2000
重要的是，
07:53
these shapes are duals of each other.
187
458000
2000
这些图形，都是相对的。
07:55
And you can see how the icosahedron
188
460000
2000
你看这个二十面体
07:57
withdraws into the dodecahedron
189
462000
2000
会变成十二面体，
07:59
and then they just merge into each other.
190
464000
3000
这两者结合的很好。
08:02
So, the whole concept of branes in the universe,
191
467000
2000
所以说，提到宇宙外层这个概念，
08:04
if the universe is shaped like a dodecahedron
192
469000
2000
假设宇宙的状似十二面体，
08:06
this is a very good map of what could possibly be.
193
471000
3000
这张图很好地展示了一种可能情况。
08:09
And that is, of course, what we are here to talk about.
194
474000
2000
当然，这就是我们在这谈的这个问题。
08:11
What a coincidence!
195
476000
2000
真是巧了！
08:13
October 9th, in France, Jean-Pierre Luminet
196
478000
4000
在十月九号，法国的让·皮埃尔·卢米涅
08:17
said that the universe is probably shaped like a dodecahedron,
197
482000
3000
宣称，他们的研究显示，
08:20
based on information that they got from this probe.
198
485000
3000
宇宙极有可能是个十二面体。
08:23
This would be a normal wave pattern.
199
488000
2000
这是个很标准的波动图示。
08:25
But what they're seeing, way out there in the far reaches
200
490000
3000
但是他们看到的，远在万里之外的
08:28
of the microwave background,
201
493000
2000
微波背景
08:30
is this kind of odd undulation.
202
495000
2000
是很零散的。
08:32
It doesn't plug in to what they suspected a flat universe would be.
203
497000
4000
这就和他们认为宇宙是扁平的猜测不符。
08:36
So, you can kind of get an idea from this
204
501000
3000
所以，从这幅庞大的图片背后
08:39
extrapolating that back under this huge picture,
205
504000
3000
我们可以推断出点什么
08:42
so we get this idea of what the primal universe looked like.
206
507000
3000
比如说原始宇宙是什么样子。
08:45
And judging from this, it looks a little like a cheeseburger.
207
510000
3000
这样看来，它有点像个芝士汉堡。
08:48
(Laughter)
208
513000
2000
（笑）
08:50
So, I'm thinking the universe is either a dodecahedron or a cheeseburger.
209
515000
3000
所以，我认为宇宙即像是一个十二面体，又像是一个芝士汉堡。
08:53
And for me, that's a win-win.
210
518000
2000
对我而言，这是双赢。
08:55
Everybody goes, I'm happy.
211
520000
3000
我很高兴，大家都是这么想的。
08:58
(Laughter)
212
523000
1000
（笑）
08:59
Better really hurry up.
213
524000
3000
最好快点。
09:02
I just threw this in because
214
527000
3000
我提到这个是因为
09:05
as important as all of our intellectual abilities are,
215
530000
3000
和我们的智力一样重要的是
09:08
without heart and without love it's just -- it's all meaningless.
216
533000
3000
如果没有情感和爱，这些全都一无是处。
09:11
And that, to me, is really beautiful.
217
536000
3000
那对我来说，实在是太美了。
09:14
(Laughter)
218
539000
1000
（笑）
09:15
Except for that creepy guy in the background.
219
540000
2000
除了在背后偷偷摸摸的人以外。
09:17
(Laughter)
220
542000
5000
（笑）
09:22
Getting back to the point of my particular presentation,
221
547000
4000
回到我的陈述的观点
09:26
Kepler, one of my great heroes,
222
551000
2000
开普勒，我的一个大英雄
09:28
who realized that these five solids, which I spoke of earlier,
223
553000
4000
他发现我刚才提到的那五个立方体
09:32
were related somehow to the planets,
224
557000
2000
和行星体多少有点关系。
09:34
but he couldn't prove it. It freaked him out.
225
559000
2000
但他无法证实。这可真让他头疼。
09:36
But it did lead to Newton discovering gravity.
226
561000
3000
但是，这使牛顿发现了地心引力。
09:39
So, maps of things leading to organized understandings
227
564000
3000
所以，地图能使我们对赖以生存的宇宙
09:42
of the universe in which we emerge.
228
567000
2000
有了有条理的认识。
09:44
Now this is Isaac from a Vietnamese stamp.
229
569000
3000
现在这是越南邮票上的以撒。
09:47
(Laughter)
230
572000
3000
（笑）
09:50
I am not suggesting at all that my Vietnamese brothers and sisters
231
575000
3000
我不是说，所有的越南兄弟姐妹
09:53
could maybe use a little art class here and there. But ...
232
578000
2000
或许应该上几堂美术课。但是，
09:55
(Laughter)
233
580000
1000
（笑）
09:56
that's not a good picture.
234
581000
2000
这张照片实在不怎么样！
09:58
(Laughter)
235
583000
3000
（笑）
10:01
Not a good picture. Now, my friends in the island of Nevis
236
586000
3000
照片一般。看，我在尼维斯岛的朋友们
10:04
are a little better. Look at that! That's Isaac Newton.
237
589000
2000
这张还好看点。看，那张是爱萨卡·牛顿
10:06
That guy is rockin'.
238
591000
2000
这家伙酷毕了
10:08
(Laughter)
239
593000
1000
（笑）
10:09
What a handsome cat.
240
594000
2000
猫很不错啊。
10:11
Once again, Nicaragua let me down.
241
596000
2000
尼加拉瓜，又来了。饶了我吧！
10:13
(Laughter)
242
598000
2000
（笑）
10:15
And Copernicus looks like Johnny Carson, which is really weird.
243
600000
4000
康普尼克斯看起来像约翰·尼卡森，真奇怪。
10:19
(Laughter)
244
604000
1000
（笑）
10:20
I don't get that at all.
245
605000
2000
我完全不理解。
10:22
Once again, these guys rock it out.
246
607000
2000
再说一遍，这些人太帅了！
10:24
Isaac is kickin' ass. Man, he looks like a rock star.
247
609000
3000
艾萨克太了不起了。哦，天哪！他看上去就是个摇滚明星。♫
10:27
This is freaky is a major way.
248
612000
2000
这太梦幻了。
10:29
This is Sierra Leone.
249
614000
2000
这是塞拉·里昂。
10:31
They got little babies in there, floating in there.
250
616000
3000
他们让小孩子在那漂着。
10:34
(Laughter)
251
619000
1000
（笑）
10:35
Man. I don't really need to comment on this.
252
620000
2000
哦，我没必要做评论
10:37
But I didn't know that Isaac Newton was in the Moody Blues. Did you?
253
622000
3000
但是我不知道爱萨卡·牛顿是穆迪·布鲁斯乐队的（又意为心情不好） 。你知道吗？
10:40
(Laughter)
254
625000
4000
（笑）
10:44
When did this happen?
255
629000
2000
这是什么时候的事啊？
10:46
(Laughter)
256
631000
1000
（笑）
10:47
It's a different kind of course. And they've got five apples?
257
632000
3000
类型不同，当然。他们有5个苹果？
10:50
I mean these guys are extrapolating in realms
258
635000
2000
我意思是，这些人钻研领域
10:52
that are not necessarily valid.
259
637000
3000
都没什么逻辑性
10:55
Although five is a good number, of course.
260
640000
2000
虽然五这个数字不错。
10:57
Ecuador, my friend Kepler,
261
642000
3000
厄瓜多尔，我朋友开普勒
11:00
as you can see, they call him Juan.
262
645000
3000
你是知道的，他们叫他胡安.
11:03
(Laughter)
263
648000
2000
（笑）
11:05
Juan? No! Johannes, not Juan.
264
650000
3000
胡安？不对！是乔翰不是胡安。
11:08
It wasn't Carlos Chaplain. It's wrong.
265
653000
3000
这不是卡洛斯牧师。弄错了。
11:11
(Laughter)
266
656000
3000
（笑）
11:14
René Descartes, of course. Once again
267
659000
2000
勒内·笛卡尔，又来了。
11:16
these Grenada people, this is like way too sick
268
661000
2000
这些格林纳达人，这办法太可怕了
11:18
for anybody's imagination.
269
663000
2000
令人难以想象
11:20
He's all murky. There is little kids leaning on his leg,
270
665000
3000
他太阴郁。有个孩子倚在他腿上，
11:23
little ghosts flying around. We gotta clean this stuff up
271
668000
2000
幽灵在旁边四处飞舞。我们还是赶紧忘了吧
11:25
fast, ladies and gentlemen.
272
670000
2000
女士们，先生们。
11:27
(Laughter)
273
672000
1000
（笑）
11:28
This is, of course, the Cartesian coordinates.
274
673000
4000
这当然是笛卡尔坐标。
11:32
Once again, that's Sierra Leone.
275
677000
2000
又来啦，塞拉·里昂
11:34
This is again, indicating how numbers
276
679000
3000
这又一次显示了
11:37
relate to space relate to form, maps of the universe.
277
682000
3000
数字与空间，空间与宇宙的表格，图示之间的关系。
11:40
Because that's why we're here, really, I think to figure stuff out and to love each other.
278
685000
3000
这就是我们为什么会在这里，我觉得是为了研究问题，彼此友爱。
11:43
Descartes. (Laughter)
279
688000
2000
笛卡尔（笑）
11:45
Before the horse. (Laughter)
280
690000
2000
在马的前面。
11:47
Now, Monaco took Descartes, and just flipped him around.
281
692000
3000
摩纳哥取代了笛卡尔，颠覆了他的理论
11:50
Now, Monaco is problematic for me, and I'll show you why.
282
695000
3000
算起来摩洛哥跟我还有点瓜葛，我会告诉你们为什么
11:53
Here is a map. All they have is a casino on it.
283
698000
2000
就是这张地图，上面只有个赌场。
11:55
(Laughter)
284
700000
2000
（笑）
11:57
And why Franklin Delano Roosevelt is on their map
285
702000
2000
为什么富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福（曾经的美国总统）会在上面
11:59
I don't even want to hazard a guess.
286
704000
2000
我不想猜。
12:01
But I'd say he'd been to Hellespointica Depressio recently.
287
706000
3000
但是我说过他最近去了海里斯庞提卡·迪普锐斯（意为凹陷）
12:04
(Laughter)
288
709000
1000
（笑）
12:05
This is the flag of Monaco. Ladies and gentlemen,
289
710000
2000
女士们，先生们，这是摩纳哥的国旗。
12:07
the flag of Indonesia. Please examine.
290
712000
2000
印尼的国旗。请看。
12:09
(Laughter)
291
714000
2000
（笑）
12:11
(Applause)
292
716000
3000
（掌声）
12:14
Not sure how this came to be, but it's not right.
293
719000
2000
不知道怎么会这样，但这可是不对的。
12:16
In Monaco, "No, what are you talking about?
294
721000
3000
在摩纳哥，“不，你在说什么呀？
12:19
They are so different.
295
724000
2000
他们完全不同。
12:21
Look, ours is more red, it's longer.
296
726000
2000
看，我们的旗更红，更长。
12:23
They stole our flag! They stole our flag!"
297
728000
3000
他们偷了我们的国旗！偷了我们的国旗！”
12:26
(Laughter)
298
731000
5000
（笑）
12:31
Bode's law wasn't even his law. It was a guy named Titus.
299
736000
2000
彼得定律并不是他首创的，而是一个叫提多的发现的。
12:33
And the reason I just bring this up because it is a law that doesn't really work.
300
738000
3000
我之所以提到它，是因为这条定律根本不管用。
12:36
That's Jude Law and some of his films recently didn't work.
301
741000
3000
那是裘德·洛 ，他的一些电影确实没有票房。（Bode's law 和Jude Law 音近）
12:39
(Laughter)
302
744000
2000
（笑）
12:41
Just a correlation that indicates how things are misinterpreted.
303
746000
3000
只是举个例子来看看平日里误解是怎样产生的。
12:44
And I wonder if the photographer said, "Okay, Jude,
304
749000
2000
我在想，假使摄影师说，“好的，裘德”
12:46
could you touch your tooth? That's good."
305
751000
2000
你碰一下牙齿，好吗？恩，很好！”
12:48
Just a tip, if you're being photographed
306
753000
2000
提一个小建议，拍照的时候
12:50
for press pictures, don't touch your teeth.
307
755000
3000
可千万不要摸着你的牙齿摆动作。
12:53
(Laughter)
308
758000
2000
（笑）
12:55
Prime numbers, Gauss, one of my favorites.
309
760000
2000
质数，高斯，我喜欢。
12:57
Golden section, I've been obsessed with this thing
310
762000
2000
黄金分割，打我一出生，
12:59
since before I was born.
311
764000
3000
就迷上它了
13:02
I know that scares a lot of you,
312
767000
2000
我知道这是很多人的噩梦
13:04
but that was my purpose entirely.
313
769000
2000
但这也是我的目的。
13:06
There we can see Fibonacci numbers related to the Golden Section,
314
771000
2000
我们可以看到斐波那契数列和黄金分割有关，
13:08
because Fibonacci and Golden Section
315
773000
2000
因为两者
13:10
relate to the unfolding of the measured meter of matter, as I refer to it.
316
775000
4000
我说过，关系到测量仪表的运作
13:14
If Fibonacci had been on Paxil,
317
779000
2000
如果斐波那契依靠吃帕罗西汀抗抑郁。
13:16
(Laughter)
318
781000
3000
（笑）
13:19
that would be the Fibonacci series.
319
784000
2000
下面是斐波那契数列。
13:21
"Ten milligram, 20 milligram."
320
786000
2000
“10毫克，20毫克”
13:23
"Leonardo, dinner's ready, put down those books and take your pills."
321
788000
3000
雷纳多，该吃饭了，放下书先吃药吧。
13:26
"Yes, Mama."
322
791000
2000
好的，妈妈
13:28
(Laughter)
323
793000
5000
（笑）
13:33
Alright where is this going? That's a good question.
324
798000
3000
好的，现在讲到哪了？问得好！
13:36
Here is the premise that I began 27 years ago.
325
801000
3000
下面是27年前我做得假设
13:39
If numbers can express
326
804000
3000
假设数字能表现
13:42
the laws of this incredible universe that we live,
327
807000
2000
宇宙的规则，这个人类居住的宇宙是多么的不可思议。
13:44
I reason, through some sort of reverse engineering,
328
809000
3000
我认为通过一些逆向工程
13:47
we could extrapolate from them
329
812000
2000
我们能够从中推断出
13:49
some basic structural element of this universe.
330
814000
3000
宇宙的一些结构单位。
13:52
And that's what I did. Twenty-seven years ago
331
817000
2000
这就是我做的事情。27年前，
13:54
I started working on this.
332
819000
2000
我就开始研究这个了
13:56
And I tried to build a particle accelerator.
333
821000
5000
我现在尝试做一个质子加速器。
14:01
(Laughter)
334
826000
1000
（笑）
14:02
And that didn't work out well.
335
827000
2000
可是结果却不怎么样。
14:04
So, then I thought a calculator is a metaphor.
336
829000
2000
那时我认为计算机是一个比喻。
14:06
I can just divide numbers, that's like atom smashing.
337
831000
3000
我只是拆数而已，就像是原子爆炸。
14:09
That's what I did. That's how I found Moleeds.
338
834000
3000
这就是我的工作。这就是我如何发现了莫利德
14:12
Moleeds are what I believe
339
837000
2000
我认为
14:14
the thing that will allow string theory to be proved.
340
839000
3000
弦理论可以用来证实它。
14:17
They are the nodes on the string,
341
842000
3000
他们是些节点。这些节点分布在弦上
14:20
patterns and relationships, 27, 37.
342
845000
2000
模式和关系中，27，37.
14:22
That was the first chart I came up with.
343
847000
3000
这是我绘制的第一幅图表。
14:25
You can see, even if you don't go for the numbers,
344
850000
2000
即使一个人不喜欢数字，也会发现
14:27
the beauty of the symmetry.
345
852000
2000
对称的妙处
14:29
The numbers from one to 36, divided into six groups.
346
854000
3000
数字1到36，分成6组。
14:32
Symmetry, pairs.
347
857000
2000
对称分组。
14:34
Every top adds up to 37.
348
859000
3000
顶上两数相加之和是37.
14:37
Bottom, all 74.
349
862000
2000
底部相加之和是74。
14:39
There is so many intricate relationships that I'm not going to go there now,
350
864000
3000
还有很多复杂的关系，我就不在这讲了。
14:42
because you would say, "Hey, go back to the Fluctus part."
351
867000
2000
因为你会说，“嘿，还是讲讲伏流克斯（流动地带）吧”。
14:44
(Laughter)
352
869000
4000
（笑）
14:48
Circle of Fifths, acoustic harmony, geometric symmetry.
353
873000
4000
调音器和五度圈，声音协调，几何对称
14:52
I knew those two were related.
354
877000
1000
我知道这两者相互关联。
14:53
Once again, the Cartesian kind of cross-over.
355
878000
3000
又要再说一下笛卡尔坐标，
14:56
So, I said if I'm going to put a circle,
356
881000
3000
我要画一个圆，
14:59
see what kind of patterns I get, boom, the Red System.
357
884000
3000
看看我能得到什么图形
15:02
Look at that. You can't just make this stuff up, ladies and gentlemen.
358
887000
2000
大家看，这种事情我们做不来。
15:04
(Laughter)
359
889000
2000
（笑）
15:06
You can't just go around going, "Oh, I'm going to put some triangles in a circle
360
891000
3000
你们不能吊儿郎当，要认真对待。“我要在圆里画一个三角形，
15:09
and they're going to be symmetrical. And they're all going to add up,
361
894000
2000
他们要互相对称。而且这要合情合理，
15:11
and it's going to be, oh yeah, I figured that out."
362
896000
2000
这就要...，哦，好，我想到了。”
15:13
This is beyond anything anybody could just make up.
363
898000
3000
任何人都办不到。
15:16
There is the Orange System.
364
901000
2000
这是橙色体系。
15:18
(Laughter)
365
903000
1000
(笑)
15:19
And you'll see over here, these are multiples of the number 27.
366
904000
4000
你看这，这些都是数字27的倍数。
15:23
And they recapitulate that shape,
367
908000
3000
他们概括出这个模式
15:26
even though that's a circle of nine and that's a circle of 36. It's nuts.
368
911000
4000
即使这只是9和36的倍数。真是胡说八道。
15:30
(Laughter)
369
915000
1000
（笑）
15:31
That's the Green System. It all folds in half
370
916000
2000
那是绿色系统。都是对半折叠
15:33
on the Green System, right between 18 and 19.
371
918000
2000
正好在18与19之间。
15:35
The Blue System. The Violet. It's all there.
372
920000
3000
蓝色系统。紫色系统。都在这。
15:38
(Laughter)
373
923000
8000
（笑）
15:46
Look at that! I mean you cannot make that stuff up.
374
931000
3000
大家看，我意思是你们绝对办不到。
15:49
(Laughter)
375
934000
1000
（笑）
15:50
That just doesn't fall out of a tree, ladies and gentlemen.
376
935000
3000
女士们先生们，这可不是像放弃一棵树那么简单，
15:53
Twenty-seven years of my life!
377
938000
2000
这可是我27年的大好青春哪！
15:55
(Laughter)
378
940000
1000
（笑）
15:56
And I'm presenting it here at TED. Why?
379
941000
2000
我现在在TED网站上把它呈现给大家。为什么呢？
15:58
Because this is the place if aliens land, I hope they come here.
380
943000
2000
因为我想如果外星人来到地球，我想让它到这来。
16:00
(Laughter)
381
945000
1000
（笑）
16:01
"We are going to destroy the Earth. Hmmm ... maybe not."
382
946000
3000
"我们要毁灭地球。恩，或许不会。"
16:04
(Laughter)
383
949000
2000
（笑）
16:06
In this last year I have found these subsequent systems
384
951000
2000
去年，我发现了下面的体系
16:08
which allow for the mathematic possibilities
385
953000
4000
考虑到多样态流型在
16:12
of the Calabi-Yau manifolds
386
957000
2000
数学方面的可能性
16:14
in a way that doesn't necessitate these little hidden dimensions.
387
959000
3000
某种程度上，这没有使得这些隐藏的图表变得那么有必要。
16:17
Which works mathematically, but it just doesn't seem God-like to me.
388
962000
3000
这些图表属于数学的范畴，但我不喜欢。
16:20
It just seems like it's not sexy and elegant, it's hidden.
389
965000
3000
这好像不那么迷人讲究，我们看不到。
16:23
I don't want hidden, I want to see it.
390
968000
2000
我可不想藏着掖着，我想看到它。
16:25
(Laughter)
391
970000
2000
（笑）
16:27
I found other pairs all have symmetry,
392
972000
3000
我发现其他的几对都是对称的。
16:30
even though, unlike the master one, their symmetry is split.
393
975000
3000
虽然不像主要的那一个，此种对称是分开的。
16:33
Unbelievable. This is like crazy.
394
978000
3000
不可思议。太疯狂了。
16:36
Am I the only one that sees this?
395
981000
2000
难道只有我一人看到此种状况吗？
16:38
(Laughter)
396
983000
5000
（笑）
16:43
You know, I didn't just draw this in a day, by the way.
397
988000
2000
顺便说一下，大家都知道，我不是一天做完的
16:45
You know, try making some charts like this at home.
398
990000
3000
在家想要画一些图表的话，
16:48
You gotta be accurate! There's measurement involved, increments.
399
993000
2000
你应该做到精确无误。这里面涉及度量和增量。
16:50
These are maps, by the way.
400
995000
2000
顺便说一下，这些是地图，
16:52
Not stamps, but one day.
401
997000
2000
不是邮票。
16:54
(Laughter)
402
999000
2000
（笑）
16:56
Okay, I'm getting to the punch. Golden Ratio, it's crazy.
403
1001000
3000
好的，下面是黄金分割，这太厉害了。
16:59
And look at this, built within it is the Golden Ratio.
404
1004000
4000
看这个，这里面的是黄金分割
17:03
I start looking at that, and look at them again.
405
1008000
2000
我看了看，又看了看，
17:05
They start looking like planets.
406
1010000
2000
越看他们越像行星体
17:07
I go to JPL.
407
1012000
2000
我去了喷气推进实验室。
17:09
I look at the orbits of the planets.
408
1014000
3000
我观察了行星运行轨道。
17:12
I find 18 examples of it in our solar system.
409
1017000
4000
发现在太阳系有18种这样的例子。
17:16
I never told anybody. This is the first thing. This could be history.
410
1021000
3000
重要的是，我从来没告诉任何人。这可能成为历史。
17:19
(Laughter)
411
1024000
1000
（笑）
17:20
Kepler was right.
412
1025000
4000
开普勒是对的。
17:24
(Laughter)
413
1029000
6000
（笑）
17:30
Eighteen and 19, the middle of the Moleeds, 0.618 is the golden section.
414
1035000
2000
18和19，莫利德的中间点，0.618是黄金分割点。
17:32
Multiply them together, 18.618 x 19.618 is 365.247.
415
1037000
2000
把他们相乘，18.618 x 19.618结果是365.247.
17:34
Which is .005 different from the number of days in a year.
416
1039000
5000
这和一年365天仅差0.005.
17:39
Hey, you can't make this up.
417
1044000
2000
这些是我们人类做不到的。
17:41
(Laughter)
418
1046000
2000
（笑）
17:43
Thank you very much.
419
1048000
2000
非常感谢
17:45
(Applause)
420
1050000
1000
（掌声）
17:46
Thank you.
421
1051000
2000
谢谢
17:48
(Applause)
422
1053000
2000
（掌声）
17:50
Thank you.
423
1055000
2000
谢谢
17:52

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Charles Fleischer - Comedian, voice artistBest known as the voice of Roger Rabbit, Charles Fleischer's multi-decade career includes work on stage and on screen, and an online emporium of unusual observations called MonkeyDog.
Why you should listen
Stand-up comedian and voice artist Charles Fleischer hit his stride in the '80s with voice roles in the live action-animation hybrid Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, building a prolific career of roles in cartoons and feature films in the decades since.
But perhaps he found his true calling in more recent years, discovering an interesting relationship between the numbers 27 and 37, which (he tells us) affect everything, as he says, "from protons to neutrons to croutons." This "blueprint for infinity" is called Moleeds, and he explains it in detail on his website, MonkeyDog.
Currently, he runs a media company in Southern California, and contributes writing to television and film.
