Roy Gould: WorldWide Telescope

Prevoditelj: Zrinka Gattin Recezent: Željko Babić

Roy Gould: Less than a year from now,

Roy Gould: Za manje od godinu dana,

the world is going to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy,

svijet će slaviti Međunarodnu godinu astronomije,

which marks the 400th anniversary

koja obilježava 400. obljetnicu

of Galileo's first glimpse of the night sky through a telescope.

Galileovog prvog pogleda ka noćnom nebu kroz teleskop.

In a few months, the world is also going to celebrate

Za nekoliko mjeseci, u svijetu će se također slaviti

the launch of a new invention from Microsoft Research,

pokretanje novog izuma iz Microsoft Researcha,

which I think is going to have as profound an impact

za koji smatram da će imat podjednako veliki utjecaj

on the way we view the universe as Galileo did four centuries ago.

na način na koji promatramo svemir, kakav je i Galileo imao prije četiri stoljeća.

It's called the WorldWide Telescope,

Zove se WorlWide teleskop,

and I want to thank TED and Microsoft for allowing me to bring it to your attention.

i rado bi zahvalio TED-u i Microsoftu što su mi omogućili da vam skrenem pažnju na njega.

And I want to urge you, when you get a chance,

I želim vas potaknuti da ga, kada ćete imat priliku,

to give it a closer look at the TED Lab downstairs.

pobliže ispitate u TED Labu.

The WorldWide Telescope takes the best images

WorlWide teleskop uzima najbolje slike

from the world's greatest telescopes on Earth and in space,

od najboljih svjetskih teleskopa na Zemlji i u svemiru,

and has woven them seamlessly

i neprimjetno ih isprepliće

to produce a holistic view of the universe.

kako bi kreirao cjelovitu sliku svemira.

It's going to change the way we do astronomy,

Promijeniti će način na koji prakticiramo astronomiju,

it's going to change the way we teach astronomy

promijeniti će način na koji predajemo stronomiju

and I think most importantly

a najvažnijim smatram,

it's going to change the way we see ourselves in the universe.

da će promijeniti način na koji sebe doživljavamo u svemiru.

If we were having this TED meeting in our grandparents' day,

Da se ovaj TED sastanak održavao za vrijeme naših djedova i baka,

that might not be so big a claim.

to možda ne bi bila tako velika tvrdnja.

In 1920, for example, you weren't allowed to drink;

U 1920. na primjer, nije bilo dozvoljeno piti alkohol;

if you were a woman, you weren't allowed to vote;

ženama nije bilo dozvoljeno glasati.

and if you looked up at the stars and the Milky Way on a summer night,

A ako ste pogledali spram zvijezda i Mliječne staze u ljetnoj noći,

what you saw was thought to be the entire universe.

ono što ste vidjeli smatralo se cijelim svemirom.

In fact, the head of Harvard's observatory back then

Ustvari, dekan Harvardskog opservatorija u to vrijeme

gave a great debate in which he argued

sudjelovao je u velikoj raspravi u kojoj je zagovarao stav

that the Milky Way Galaxy was the entire universe.

da je galaksija Mliječne staze čitav svemir.

Harvard was wrong, big time. (Laughter)

Harvard je pogriješio i to jako.

Of course, we know today that galaxies extend far beyond our own galaxy.

Naravno, danas znamo da su galaksije rasprostranjene i daleko izvan naše galaksije.

We can see all the way out to the edge of the observable universe,

Možemo vidjeti sve do ruba vidljivog svemira,

all the way back in time,

nazad u prošlost,

almost to the moment of the Big Bang itself.

gotovo do trenutka samog Velikog praska.

We can see across the entire spectrum of light,

Možemo promatrati čitav spektar svjetlosti,

revealing worlds that had previously been invisible.

otkrivajući svjetove koji su prije bili nevidljivi.

We see these magnificent star nurseries,

Vidimo ove veličanstvene zvjezdane jaslice,

where nature has somehow arranged for just the right numbers

u kojima je priroda nekako posložila upravo takve brojeve

and just the right sizes of stars to be born for life to arise.

i upravo takve veličine zvijezda koje se rađaju, da se pojavi život.

We see alien worlds, we see alien solar systems --

Vidimo strane svjetove, vidimo strane sunčeve sustave --

300 now, and still counting --

300 do sada i još ih brojimo.

and they're not like us.

A oni nisu kao mi.

We see black holes at the heart of our galaxy,

Vidimo crne rupe u srcu naše galaksije,

in the Milky Way, and elsewhere in the universe,

u Mliječnoj stazi i drugdje u svemiru,

where time itself seems to stand still.

gdje se čini da je samo vrijeme stalo.

But until now, our view of the universe has been disconnected and fragmented,

No do sada, naš pogled u svemir je bio isprekidan i fragmentiran

and I think that many of the marvelous stories that nature has to tell us

i smatram da mnoge veličanstvene priče koje nam priroda ima za reći

have fallen through the cracks. And that's changing.

su ispale kroz pukotine. A to se mijenja.

I want to just briefly mention three reasons

Želim samo nakratko spomenuti tri razloga

why my colleagues and I, in astronomy and in education,

zašto smo moji suradnici i ja u astronomiji i edukaciji

are so excited about the WorldWide Telescope

toliko uzbuđeni vezano sa WorldWide teleskopom,

and why we think it's truly transformative.

i zašto smatramo da će biti istinski preobražujuć.

First, it enables you to experience the universe:

Prvo, omogućuje vam da doživite svemir.

the WorldWide Telescope, for me, is a kind of magic carpet

WorldWide teleskop je, za mene, neka vrsta čarobnog tepiha

that lets you navigate through the universe where you want to go.

koji vam omogućuje navigaciju kroz svemir, gdje vi želite ići.

Second: you can tour the universe with astronomers as your guides.

Drugo, možete putovati kroz svemir sa astronomima kao vašim voditeljima.

And I'm not talking here about just experts who are telling you what you're seeing,

Ovdje ne govorim samo o stručnjacima, koji vam govore što gledate,

but really people who are passionate about the various nooks and crannies of the universe,

već o ljudima kojima su strast razni zabačeni kuci i pukotine svemira,

who can share their enthusiasm

koji šire svoj entuzijazam

and can make the universe a welcoming place.

i čine svemir dobrodošlim mjestom.

And third, you can create your own tours --

I treće, možete kreirati svoje vlastite ture:

you can share them with friends, you can create them with friends --

možete ih dijeliti sa prijateljima, možete ih stvarati sa prijateljima.

and that's the part that I think I'm most excited about

A to je dio oko kojeg sam najviše uzbuđen,

because I think that at heart, we are all storytellers.

jer smatram da smo u srcu svi pripovjedači.

And in telling stories,

A u pričanju priča,

each of us is going to understand the universe in our own way.

svaki od nas će razumjeti svemir na svoj način.

We're going to have a personal universe.

Imat ćemo osoban svemir.

I think we're going to see a community of storytellers evolve and emerge.

Smatram da ćemo doživjeti pojavljivanje i razvoj zajednice pripovjedača.

Before I introduce the person responsible for the WorldWide Telescope,

Prije nego što predstavim osobu odgovornu za WorldWide teleskop,

I just want to leave you with this brief thought:

želim vas ostaviti sa ovom kratkom misli.

when I ask people, "How does the night sky make you feel?"

Kada pitam ljude, "Kako se osjećaš kada promatraš noćno nebo?"

they often say, "Oh, tiny. I feel tiny and insignificant."

oni često odgovaraju. "Oh, malim. Osjećam se malo i beznačajno."

Well, our gaze fills the universe.

Naš pogled ispunjava svemir.

And thanks to the creators of the WorldWide Telescope,

I zahvaljujući tvorcima WorldWide teleskopa,

we can now start to have a dialogue with the universe.

možemo započet dijalog sa svemirom.

I think the WorldWide Telescope will convince you

Smatram da će vas WorldWide teleskop uvjeriti

that we may be tiny, but we are truly, wonderfully significant.

da smo možda mali, no da smo uistinu značajni.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

I can't tell you what a privilege it is

Ne mogu vam dočarati kolika je čast

to introduce Curtis Wong from Microsoft. (Applause)

predstaviti Curtisa Wonga iz Microsofta.

Curtis Wong: Thank you, Roy.

Curtis Wong: Hvala ti, Roy.

So, what you're seeing here is a wonderful presentation,

Što ovdje vidite je predivna prezentacija,

but it's one of the tours.

no to je samo jedna od tura.

And actually this tour is one that was created earlier.

Zapravo, ova tura je napravljena ranije.

And the tours are all totally interactive,

Ture su sve potpuno interaktivne,

so that if I were to go somewhere ...

tako da ako želim otići nekamo --

you may be watching a tour and you can pause anywhere along the way,

možete gledati turu i onda je tokom gledanja pauzirati,

pull up other information --

izvući druge informacije.

there are lots of Web and information sources

Postoji mnogo Web i drugih izvora informacija

about places you might want to go --

o mjestima gdje bi mogli poželjeti poći.

you can zoom in, you can pull back out.

Možete povećati, smanjiti --

The whole resources are there available for you.

sve vam je na raspolaganju.

So, Microsoft -- this is a project that -- WorldWide Telescope is dedicated to Jim Gray,

Dakle, Microsoft -- ovaj projekt -- WorldWide teleskop posvećen je Jimu Grayu,

who's our colleague, and a lot of his work that he did

koji je naš suradnik, i mnogo je njegovog rada

is really what makes this project possible.

zapravo učinilo ovaj projekt mogućim.

It's a labor of love for us and our small team,

To je rad iz ljubavi za nas i naš mali tim

and we really hope it will inspire kids to explore and learn about the universe.

i mi se stvarno nadamo da će potaknuti djecu na istraživanje i učenje o svemiru.

So basically, kids of all ages, like us.

Djecu svih uzrasta, poput nas.

And so WorldWide Telescope will be available this spring.

WoldrWide teleskop će bit dostupan od ovog proljeća.

It'll be a free download -- thank you, Craig Mundie --

Moći će se slobodno skinut. Hvala Crag Mundie.

and it'll be available at the website WorldWideTelescope.org,

A biti će dostupan na stranici Worldwidetelescope.org,

which is something new.

što je nešto novog.

And so, what you've seen today

Ovo što ste vidjeli danas

is less than a fraction of one percent of what is in here,

je manje od djelića jednog postotka od svega čega ima ovdje,

and in the TED Lab, we have a tour

a u TED Labu imamo i turu,

that was created by a six-year-old named Benjamin

koju je kreirao šestogodišnji Benjamin,

that will knock your socks off. (Laughter)

koja će vas oboriti s nogu.

So we'll see you there. Thank you.

Dakle, vidimo se tamo. Hvala vam.

(Applause)
