Hidden miracles of the natural world | Louie Schwartzberg

Translator: Katja Basaj Reviewer: Nika Kotnik

What is the intersection between technology, art and science?

Kaj združuje tehnologijo, umetnost in znanost?

Curiosity and wonder,

Radovednost in zanimanje,

because it drives us to explore,

ker nas vodita v raziskovanje,

because we're surrounded by things we can't see.

ker smo obkroženi s stvarmi, ki jih ne moremo videti.

Film rad ustvarjam tako, da nas popelje na potovanje

And I love to use film to take us on a journey

skozi portale časa in vesolja,

through portals of time and space,

to make the invisible visible,

da naredi nevidno vidno,

because what that does,

ker to vodi v širitev naših obzorij,

it expands our horizons,

it transforms our perception,

spremeni naše dojemanje,

it opens our minds

odpre naš um

in se dotakne naših src.

and it touches our heart.

So here are some scenes from my 3D IMAX film,

Tukaj je nekaj prizorov iz mojega 3D IMAX filma,

"Mysteries of the Unseen World."

"Skrivnosti nevidenega sveta."

(glasba)

(Music)

There is movement which is too slow for our eyes to detect,

Obstaja gibanje, ki je prepočasno za naše oči

in s pomočjo časovnega zamika

and time lapse makes us discover

lahko najdemo in širimo perspektivo svojega življenja.

and broaden our perspective of life.

We can see how organisms emerge and grow,

Vidimo lahko kako se organizmi pojavijo ter rastejo,

kako plezalka preživi z vzpenjanjem iz gozdnih tal,

how a vine survives by creeping from the forest floor

to look at the sunlight.

da bi prišla do sonca.

And at the grand scale,

In v svetovnem merilu

time lapse allows us to see our planet in motion.

lahko s časovnim zamikom vidimo naš planet v gibanju.

We can view not only the vast sweep of nature,

Vidimo lahko, ne samo mogočnost narave,

but the restless movement of humanity.

ampak tudi nemirno gibanje človeštva.

Each streaking dot represents a passenger plane,

Vsaka izmed črt ponazarja potniško letalo

and by turning air traffic data into time-lapse imagery,

in če spremenimo podatke zračnega prometa v časovno grafiko,

lahko vidimo nekaj, kar je vedno nad nami,

we can see something that's above us constantly

but invisible:

a je nevidno:

the vast network of air travel over the United States.

prostrano mrežo zračnega prometa nad ZDA.

We can do the same thing with ships at sea.

Enako lahko naredimo z ladjami na morju.

We can turn data into a time-lapse view of a global economy in motion.

Podatke lahko spremenimo v časovni pregled

svetovne ekonomije v gibanju.

And decades of data give us the view of our entire planet

In desetletja podatkov nam pokažejo pregled celotnega planeta

as a single organism

kot enoten organizem,

sustained by currents circulating throughout the oceans

ki ga vzdržujejo krožni tokovi v oceanih

in oblaki, ki se vrtinčijo skozi atmosfero,

and by clouds swirling through the atmosphere,

pulsing with lightning,

utripajo s strelo,

crowned by the aurora Borealis.

okronani s severnim sijem.

It may be the ultimate time-lapse image:

To je morda vrhunec slik s časovnim zamikom:

oživljena anatomija Zemlje.

the anatomy of Earth brought to life.

At the other extreme,

V drugem ekstremu

there are things that move too fast for our eyes,

so stvari, ki se premikajo prehitro za naše oči,

but we have technology that can look into that world as well.

ampak imamo tehnologijo, ki ima vpogled tudi v ta svet.

With high-speed cameras,

S kamerami visoke hitrosti,

we can do the opposite of time lapse.

lahko naredimo obratno od časovnega zamika.

We can shoot images

Ustvarimo lahko slike,

that are thousands of times faster than our vision.

ki so več-tisočkrat hitrejše od vida.

And we can see how nature's ingenious devices work,

Vidimo kako delujejo genialne naprave narave

and perhaps we can even imitate them.

in jih morda celo posnemamo.

When a dragonfly flutters by,

Ko kačji pastir prileti mimo,

you may not realize,

morda ne boste opazili,

but it's the greatest flier in nature.

da je to najboljši letalec v naravi.

It can hover, fly backwards,

Lahko lebdi, leti vzvratno,

even upside down.

celo na glavo.

And by tracking markers on an insect's wings,

S sledenjem označb na njegovih krilih,

we can visualize the air flow that they produce.

lahko vizualiziramo pretok zraka, ki ga ustvarijo.

Nihče ni poznal njegove skrivnosti,

Nobody knew the secret,

but high speed shows that a dragonfly

vendar visoko-hitrostne kamere pokažejo, da kačji pastir

can move all four wings in different directions

lahko premika vsa štiri krila v različne smeri

at the same time.

ob istem času.

And what we learn can lead us to new kinds of robotic flyers

Kar se naučimo nas vodi v nove vrste robotskih letalcev,

that can expand our vision

ki razširijo naše poznavanje

of important and remote places.

pomembnih ter oddaljenih krajev.

We're giants,

Smo velikani,

and we're unaware of things that are too small for us to see.

ki se ne zavedajo stvari, ki so premajhne za naš vid.

The electron microscope fires electrons which creates images

Elektronski mikroskop strelja elektrone, ki ustvarijo slike

which can magnify things by as much as a million times.

z vse do milijonsko povečavo.

This is the egg of a butterfly.

To je jajčece metulja.

And there are unseen creatures living all over your body,

Na vašem telesu živijo nevidena bitja,

including mites that spend their entire lives

vključno s prišicami, ki preživijo celo življenje

dwelling on your eyelashes,

v vaših trepalnicah

crawling over your skin at night.

in ponoči lezejo po vaši koži.

Can you guess what this is?

Lahko uganete kaj je to?

Shark skin.

Koža morskega psa.

A caterpillar's mouth.

Usta gosenice.

The eye of a fruit fly.

Oko mušice.

An eggshell.

Jajčna lupina.

A flea.

Bolha.

A snail's tongue.

Polžev jezik.

We think we know most of the animal kingdom,

Mislimo, da poznamo večino živalskega kraljestva,

but there may be millions of tiny species

vendar morda obstajajo še miljoni drobcenih vrst,

waiting to be discovered.

ki čakajo na odkritje.

A spider also has great secrets,

Tudi pajek ima odlične skrivnosti,

because spiders' silk thread is pound for pound stronger than steel

ker je njegova svilena nit relativno močnejša od jekla,

but completely elastic.

ampak popolnoma elastična.

This journey will take us all the way down to the nano world.

To potovanje nas bo pripeljalo vse do nano sveta.

The silk is 100 times thinner than human hair.

Svila je stokrat tanjša od človeškega lasu.

On there is bacteria,

Na njej je bakterija

and near that bacteria, 10 times smaller,

in blizu bakterije je, desetkrat manjši

a virus.

virus.

Inside of that, 10 times smaller,

Znotraj njega, desetkrat manjše

three strands of DNA.

tri niti DNK.

And nearing the limit of our most powerful microscopes,

In približajoč se meji naših najmočnejših mikroskopov,

single carbon atoms.

posamični atomi ogljika.

With the tip of a powerful microscope,

S konico močnega mikrosopa

we can actually move atoms

jih lahko premikamo

and begin to create amazing nano devices.

in začnemo ustvarjati neverjetne nano naprave.

Some could one day patrol our body for all kinds of diseases

Nekatere bi nekoč lahko nadzorovale naše telo za vsemi vrstami bolezni,

and clean out clogged arteries along the way.

ter hkrati čistile naše zamašene arterije.

Tiny chemical machines of the future

Drobcene kemijske naprave prihodnosti

can one day, perhaps, repair DNA.

lahko nekega dne morda popravljajo DNK.

We are on the threshold of extraordinary advances,

Smo na pragu neverjetnega napredka,

born of our drive to unveil the mysteries of life.

rojenega v naši odločnosti, da odkrijemo skrivnosti življenja.

So under an endless rain of cosmic dust,

Pod neskončnim dežjem kozmičnega prahu

the air is full of pollen,

je zrak poln cvetnega prahu,

micro-diamonds and jewels

mikro diamantev in draguljev

from other planets and supernova explosions.

iz drugih planetov ter eksplozij supernov.

People go about their lives surrounded by the unseeable.

Ljudje živijo svoja življenja obkroženi z nevidnim.

Knowing that there's so much around us we can't see

Ko vemo, koliko ne moremo videti,

forever changes our understanding of the world,

se naše razumevanje življenja spremeni za vedno

and by looking at unseen worlds,

in ko gledamo nevidene svetove,

we recognize that we exist in the living universe,

spoznamo, da obstajamo v živem vesolju

and this new perspective creates wonder

in ta nova perspektiva ustvari zanimanje

and inspires us to become explorers

in nas navduši, da postanemo raziskovalci

in our own backyards.

na svojem lastnem dvorišču.

Who knows what awaits to be seen

Kdo ve, kaj nas še čaka

and what new wonders will transform our lives.

in kakšna nova čudesa bodo spremenila naša življenja.

We'll just have to see.

Preprosto bomo morali videti.

Thank you.

Hvala.
