The flat horizon that we've evolved with

Carter Emmart（卡特·艾玛特）：我们看到水平地平线

has been a metaphor for the

is the result of, actually, internships

And so as we move out,

As we move out,

当我们离开，

the light from these distant galaxies

We back so far up

the afterglow of the Big Bang.

This is the WMAP

microwave background

that we see.

正如我们看到的。

We'll fly outside it here, just to see this sort of containment.

我们将飞出此处，来看这一密闭空间。

If we were outside this,

如果我们在此之外，

it would almost be meaningless, in the sense as before time.

其实是毫无意义的，因为这意味着在时间之前。

But this our containment of the visible universe.

但是，这就是我们可视宇宙的密闭空间。

We know the universe is bigger than that which we can see.

Coming back quickly,

we see here the radio sphere that we jumped out of in the beginning,
