Jay Walker: A library of human imagination

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

These rocks have been hitting our earth for about three billion years,

Ove stijene udaraju u našu zemlju otprilike već tri milijarde godina,

and are responsible for much of what’s gone on on our planet.

i zaslužne su za većinu toga što se dogodilo na našem planetu.

This is an example of a real meteorite,

Ovo je primjer pravog meteorita,

and you can see all the melting of the iron

i možete vidjeti svo ovo topljenje željeza

from the speed and the heat when a meteorite hits the earth,

od brzine i vrućine kada meteorit udari u zemlju,

and just how much of it survives and melts.

i koliko toga preživi i rastopi se.

From a meteorite from space,

Od meteorita iz svemira,

we’re over here with an original Sputnik.

mi smo ovdje s izvornim Sputnikom.

This is one of the seven surviving Sputniks that was not launched into space.

Ovo je jedan od sedam preživjelih Sputnika koji nije bio lansiran u svemir.

This is not a copy.

Ovo nije kopija.

The space age began 50 years ago in October,

Svemirsko doba je počelo prije 50 godina u listopadu,

and that’s exactly what Sputnik looked like.

i točno tako je Sputnik izgledao.

And it wouldn’t be fun to talk about the space age

A ne bi bilo zabavno pričati o svemirskom dobu

without seeing a flag that was carried

bez da vidimo zastavu koja je nošena

to the moon and back, on Apollo 11.

na mjesec i natrag, na Apollu 11.

The astronauts each got to carry

Svaki od astronauta je nosio

about ten silk flags in their personal kits.

oko deset svilenih zastava u svom priboru.

They would bring them back and mount them.

Donijeli bi ih natrag i postavili bi ih.

So this has actually been carried to the moon

Dakle, ovo je zapravo nošeno na mjesec

and back.

i natrag.

So that’s for fun.

Dakle, to je zabavno.

The dawn of books is, of course, important.

Svanuće knjiga je, naravno, važno.

And it wouldn’t be interesting to talk about the dawn of books

I ne bi bilo zanimljivo pričati o svanuću knjiga

without having a copy of a Guttenberg Bible.

bez kopije Guttenbergove Biblije.

You can see how portable and handy it was to have your own Guttenberg

Vidite kako prijenosno i priručno je bilo imati vlastiti Guttenberg

in 1455.

1455. godine.

But what’s interesting about the Guttenberg Bible, and the dawn of this technology,

Ali ono što je zanimljivo o Guttenbergovoj Bibliji i svanuću te tehnologije,

is not the book.

nije knjiga.

You see, the book was not driven by reading.

Vidite, knjiga nije izdana zbog čitanja.

In 1455, nobody could read.

1455. godine, nitko nije mogao čitati.

So why did the printing press succeed?

Zašto je onda posao tiskanja uspio?

This is an original page of a Guttenberg Bible.

Ovo je izvorna stranica iz Guttenbergove Biblije.

So you’re looking here at one of the first printed books

Dakle, gledate u jednu od prvih tiskanih knjiga

using movable type in the history of man,

koja je koristila pomične tipke u povijesti čovječanstva,

550 years ago.

prije 550 godina.

We are living at the age here at the end of the book,

Ovdje živimo u doba kada smo pri kraju knjige

where electronic paper will undoubtedly replace it.

gdje će je elektronički papir nedvojbeno zamijeniti.

But why is this so interesting? Here’s the quick story.

Ali zašto je to toliko zanimljivo? Ovo je kratka priča.

It turns out that in the 1450s,

Ispostavilo se da je 1450-ih,

the Catholic Church needed money,

Katolička crkva trebala novac,

and so they

pa su tiskali oprosnice --

actually hand-wrote these things called indulgences,

oni su zapravo rukom pisali te stvari zvane oprosnice,

which were forgiveness’s on pieces of paper.

koje su bile oproštaji na komadićima papira.

They traveled all around Europe

Zatim su putovali diljem cijele Europe

and sold by the hundreds or by the thousands.

i prodavali to u stotine ili tisuće primjeraka.

They got you out of purgatory faster.

Tada ste brže izašli iz čistilišta.

And when the printing press was invented

A kada je tiskana štampa izmišljena,

what they found was they could print indulgences,

ono što su otkrili jest da su mogli tiskati te oprosnice,

which was the equivalent of printing money.

što je bilo ekvivalentno tiskanju novca.

And so all of Western Europe started buying printing presses in 1455 --

I tako je cijeli zapad Europe počeo 1455. godine kupovati strojeve za tiskanje

to print out thousands,

kako bi isprintali tisuće

and then hundreds of thousands,

a zatim stotine tisuća,

and then ultimately millions

i naposlijetku milijune

of single, small pieces of paper

pojedinačnih, malih komadića papira

that got you out of middle hell and into heaven.

koji su vas vodili iz čistilišta u nebo.

That is why the printing press succeeded,

Zato je posao štampanja uspio,

and that is why Martin Luther

i zato je Martin Luther

nailed his 90 theses to the door:

zabio svojih 90 teza na vrata:

because he was complaining that the Catholic Church had gone amok

zato jer se žalio kako je Katolička crkva pobijesnila

in printing out indulgences and selling them

u printanju prepuštenica i prodajući ih

in every town and village and city in all of Western Europe.

u svakom gradiću i selu i gradu po cijeloj zapadnoj Europi.

So the printing press, ladies and gentlemen,

Dakle, dame i gospodo, posao štampanja,

was driven entirely by the printing of forgivenesses

je dobio zamah zahvaljujući tiskanju oproštenja

and had nothing to do with reading.

i nije imao nikakve veze sa čitanjem.

More tomorrow. I also have pictures coming of the library

Više sutra. Također imam slike dolaska knjižnice

for those of you that have asked for pictures.

za vas koji ste tražili slike.

We’re going to have some tomorrow.

Prikazat ćemo ih nekoliko sutra.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Instead of showing an object from the stage

Umjesto da pokazujem objekte s pozornice,

I’m going to do something special for the first time.

učinit ću nešto posebno po prvi puta.

We are going to show, actually, what the library looks like, OK?

Prikazat ćemo, zapravo, kako knjižnica izgleda, u redu?

So, I am married to the most wonderful woman in the world.

Dakle, oženjen sam za najdivniju ženu na svijetu.

You’re going to find out why in a minute,

Za minutu ćete i saznati zašto,

because when I went to see Eileen,

jer kada sam otišao posjetiti Eileen,

this is what I said I wanted to build.

ovo je ono što sam rekao da želim izgraditi.

This is the Library of Human Imagination.

Ovo je knjižnica ljudske mašte.

The room itself is three stories tall.

Soba sama po sebe je visoka tri kata.

In the glass panels are 5,000 years of human imagination

U staklenim panelima se nalazi 5.000 godina ljudske mašte

that are computer controlled.

koje je upravljano pomoću računala.

The room is a theatre. It changes colors.

Prostorija je kazalište. Mijenja boje.

And all throughout the library are different objects, different spaces.

I po cijeloj knjižnici se nalaze različiti predmeti, različiti prostori.

It’s designed like an Escher print.

Dizajn je nalik Escher-ovom printu.

Here is some of the lower level of the library,

Ovo su neke niže razine knjižnice

where the exhibits constantly change.

gdje se izložbeni primjerci neprestano mijenjaju.

You can walk through. You can touch.

Možete hodati između. Možete dirati.

You can see exactly how many of these types of items would fit in a room.

Možete vidjeti koliko točno tih vrsta predmeta bi stalo u prostoriju.

There’s my very own Saturn V.

Ovo je moj vlastiti Saturn V.

Everybody should have one, OK? (Laughter)

Svatko bi trebao imati jedan, u redu.

So you can see here in the lower level of the library

Dakle, možete vidjeti na nižoj razini knjižnice

the books and the objects.

knjige i predmete.

In the glass panels all along is sort of the history of imagination.

U staklenim panelima koji se protežu uzduž, je neka vrsta povijesti mašte.

There is a glass bridge that you walk across

Tamo se nalazi stakleni most preko kojeg možete hodati

that’s suspended in space.

a koji je razapet u prostoru.

So it’s a leap of imagination.

Dakle, to je skok mašte.

How do we create?

Dakle, kako stvaramo?

Part of the question that I have answered is,

A dio pitanja koji sam odgovorio

is we create by surrounding ourselves with stimuli:

je da se mi okružujemo s podražajima,

with human achievement, with history,

s ljudskim postignućima, s poviješću,

with the things that drive us and make us human --

sa stvarima koje nas motiviraju i čine nas ljudima.

the passionate discovery, the bones of dinosaurs long gone,

Strastveno otkriće, kosti dinosaura koji su odavno nestali,

the maps of space that we’ve experienced,

karte svemira kojeg smo iskusili,

and ultimately the hallways that stimulate our mind and our imagination.

i naposlijetku hodnici koji stimuliraju naš um i našu maštu.

So hopefully tomorrow I’ll show

Dakle, sutra ću, nadam se, pokazati

one or two more objects from the stage,

jedan ili dva dodatna predmeta s pozornice,

but for today I just wanted to say thank you

ali za danas sam samo htio reći hvala vam

for all the people that came and talked to us about it.

za sve ljude koji su došli i koji su s nama o tome pričali.

And Eileen and I are thrilled to open our home

I Eileen i ja smo oduševljeni što možemo otvoriti naš dom

and share it with the TED community.

i podijeliti ga s TED zajednicom.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

TED is all about patterns in the clouds.

Na TED-u se radi o uzorcima u oblacima.

It’s all about connections.

Sve je u vezama.

It’s all about seeing things

Sve je u gledanju stvari

that everybody else has seen before

koje su svi drugi već vidjeli

but thinking about them in ways that nobody has thought of them before.

ali razmišljajući o njima na načine na koje nitko nije o njima razmišljao prije.

And that’s really what discovery and imagination is all about.

A to je bit otkrivanja i mašte.

For example, we can look

Na primjer, možemo promatrati

at a DNA molecule model here.

ovdje molekulu DNK.

None of us really have ever seen one,

Nitko od nas je zapravo nije vidio,

but we know it exists because we’ve been taught

ali znamo da postoji jer su nas učili

to understand this molecule.

da razumijemo zašto baš ta molekula.

But we can also look at an Enigma machine

Ali ujedno možemo promatrati stroj Enigmu

from the Nazis in World War II

od nacista iz Drugog svjetskog rata

that was a coding and decoding machine.

koji je bio stroj za šifriranje i dešifriranje.

Now, you might say, what does this have to do with this?

Sada, mogli biste reći, kakve to veze ima s ovim?

Well, this is the code for life,

Pa, ovo je šifra za život,

and this is a code for death.

a ovo je šifra za smrt.

These two molecules

Te dvije molekule

code and decode.

šifriraju i dešifriraju.

And yet, looking at them, you would see a machine and a molecule.

A ipak, promatrajući ih, vidjeli biste stroj i molekulu.

But once you’ve seen them in a new way,

Ali jednom kada ih vidite na novi način,

you realize that both of these things really are connected.

shvatite kako su obje stvari zapravo povezane.

And they’re connected primarily because of this here.

A povezane su primarno zbog ovoga ovdje.

You see, this is a human brain model, OK?

Vidite, ovo je model ljudskog mozga, u redu?

And it’s rare, because we never really get to see a brain.

I rijedak je, jer mi zapravo nikad ne vidimo mozak.

We get to see a skull. But there it is.

Vidimo lubanju. Ali evo ga.

All of imagination -- everything that we think,

Sva mašta, sve o čemu razmišljamo,

we feel, we sense -- comes through the human brain.

osjećamo, prolazi kroz ljudski mozak.

And once we create new patterns in this brain,

I jednom kada stvorimo nove uzorke u tom mozgu,

once we shape the brain in a new way,

jednom kada oblikujemo mozak na novi način,

it never returns to its original shape.

nikada se ne vraća u svoj izvorni oblik.

And I’ll give you a quick example.

I dati ću vam kratak primjer.

We think about the Internet;

Mislimo o Internetu.

we think about information that goes across the Internet.

Razmišljamo o informaciji koja prolazi kroz Internet.

And we never think about the hidden connection.

I nikada ne razmišljamo o skrivenoj povezanosti.

But I brought along here a lump of coal --

Ali donio sam sa sobom ovdje grumen ugljena --

right here, one lump of coal.

upravo ovdje, jedan grumen ugljena.

And what does a lump of coal have to do with the Internet?

I kakve veze ima grumen ugljena s Internetom?

You see, it takes the energy in one lump of coal

Vidite, potrebna je energija jednog grumena ugljena

to move one megabyte of information across the net.

kako bi se jedan megabajt informacija prenio preko Interneta.

So every time you download a file,

Dakle, svaki puta kada skinete neku datoteku,

each megabyte is a lump of coal.

svaki megabajt je jedan grumen ugljena.

What that means is, a 200-megabyte file

To znači da, datoteka veličine 200 megabajta

looks like this, ladies and gentlemen. OK?

izgleda, dame i gospodo, nalik ovome. U redu?

So the next time you download a gigabyte,

Dakle, idući put kada skinete gigabajt,

or two gigabytes, it’s not for free, OK?

ili dva gigabajta, nije besplatno, u redu?

The connection is the energy it takes to run the web ,

Povezanost je energija koja je potrebna za pogon Interneta

and to make everything we think possible, possible.

i kako bi učinila sve što mi mislimo da je moguće, mogućim.

Thanks, Chris.

Hvala, Chris.

(Applause)
