I am going to be talking about secrets.

我要告诉大家一个秘密。

Obviously the best way to divulge a secret

一般来说，泄露秘密的最好办法就是

is to tell someone to not say anything about it.

告诫某人千万不要说出去

(Laughter)

（笑）

Secrets. I'm using PowerPoint this year

秘密就是，我目前正在用PowerPoint

just because, you know, I'm into the TED thing.

就是因为，你知道的，我正在用TED做演讲

(Laughter)

（笑）

And when you use these things you don't have to go like that.

还有就是你用这些东西时，你不必非得那样做。

You just press it.

按一下就好了。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Oh, man. Um, yes.

哦，哥们，嗯，就这样。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Yes. I'm sure! Just change it!

是的，真的是这样！换一张！

(Laughter)

（笑）

Is Bill Gates here?

比尔盖茨在这儿吗？

Change it! Come on! What?

换一张！快点！怎么回事？

(Laughter)

（笑）

Ah! Okay.

恩，好的。

That's not my slides, but it's okay.

这可不是我的幻灯片，不过这张还行。

(Laughter)

（笑）

As you can see, these are all maps.

你看，这只是些地图。

And maps are important devices for transferring information,

有了人类的认知能力，

especially if you have human cognitive ability.

地图在传递信息方面，就尤为重要。

We can see that all formulas are really maps.

可以看出，所有的公式其实都是些示意图。

Now, as humans, we make maps of places

现在，人在地图上画的地方

that we seldom even go,

我们自己都很少去

which seems a little wasteful of time.

听起来好像有点浪费时间

This, of course, is a map of the moon.

这个一看就知道是个月球地图

There're some very delightful names.

还起了许多好听的名字。

Tranquilacalitis, [unclear]. My favorite is Frigoris.

坦奎拉克雷提斯。冷海，这名字我喜欢.

What are these people thinking? Frigoris?

这些人都在想什么啊！居然叫冷海?

What the Frigoris you doing? Names are important.

这个名字怎么了？名字是很重要的。

Frigoris? This is the Moon. People could live there one day.

冷海？这可是月球啊。人类会在未来的某一天住在那的。

I'll meet you at Frigoris. No. I don't think so.

那咱们冷海见吧。我可不这么想。

(Laughter)

（笑）

There we see Mars, again with various names.

这还有彗星的地图，还有各种各样的名字。

And this is all done, by the way,

顺便说一下，

by the International Astronomical Union.

这都是国际天文学联合会的杰作。

This is an actual group of people

这一群人坐在一起

that sit around naming planetary objects.

讨论怎么给行星起名字。

This is from their actual book.

这是从他们的书中节选的。

These are some of the names that they have chosen, ladies and gentlemen.

女士们，先生们，这就是他们选的一些名字。

I'll go through a little of them. Bolotnitsa.

我来看几个吧。布隆滕尼撒

That, of course, is the Slavic swamp mermaid.

这是斯拉夫语中的湿地美人鱼的意思。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Now I think the whole concept of a mermaid

我怎么都不能把美人鱼

doesn't really blend into the swamp feel.

和沼泽地扯上关系，感觉不协调。®

(Laughter)

（笑）

"Oh look! Mermaid come out of swamp. Oh boy!

哦，看哪！沼泽地里有一条美人鱼。哦，天哪！

It's time for Bolotnitsa!"

到沼泽美人鱼时间啦！

(Laughter)

（笑）

Djabran Fluctus.

吉布仑 富卢克图斯

If that don't flow off the tongue, what does?

这太拗口了！

(Laughter)

（笑）

I mean kids are studying this stuff

我指的是孩子们都在学这东西，

and they've got the word "fluctus" up there. That's wrong.

而且都学会了。那样可不好。

(Laughter)

（笑）

One dyslexic kid and he could be ruining his life.

如果是有阅读障碍的孩子，那可就痛苦了。

(Laughter)

（笑）

"It fluctus up, Mama."

“这太拗口了，妈妈。”

Hikuleo Fluctus.

黑酷雷 富鲁克鲁斯

That's a little more flowing. Hikuleo

这名字就通顺点了。黑酷雷

sounds like a kind of a Leonardo DiCaprio

听起来有点像莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥

17 syllable thing.

共有17个音节。

And that's the Tonga underworld.

这可是汤加的黑社会啊。

And one of my favorites is the Itoki Fluctus,

这是我喜欢的一个名字，依托卡 富鲁克鲁斯,

who is the Nicaraguan goddess of insects, stars, and planets.

她是尼加拉瓜的女神，主管虫类，星宿和行星。

Now, if you're a goddess of stars and planets

现在，如果你是主管星宿和行星的女神，

wouldn't you relegate insects to somebody else?

你不会把一只虫子变成一个人吧？

(Laughter)

（笑）

"No, no, really, I'm so busy with the stars.

“不不，绝不会。我还要忙着星宿的事情哪！

Would you mind taking the insects? Thank you darling.

请你把昆虫带走，好吗？谢谢你，亲爱的！

Oh take the spiders too. I know they're not insects, but I don't care.

哦，还有蜘蛛。我知道他们不是昆虫，不管它。

Monkeys, chimps, just get rid of the hairy creatures."

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。”

(Laughter)

（笑）

Now, we're going to be going to Mars one day. And when we do,

将来有一天我们会登上火星。我们要上去了，

it's going to be unfair for the people that are living there

火星人可就倒霉了

to have to live with these ridiculous names.

他们以后要一直听到这些奇怪的名字。

So, you'll be on Mars, and you're at

有一天你会站在火星上，身处

Hellespointica Depressio

海里斯庞提卡 迪普锐斯（意为凹陷）

which has got to be a really "up" place.

那地方可真高啊。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Yeah, I'm at the Depressio, and I want to get over to Amazonis

是啊，我身在迪普锐斯，还想穿过亚马逊。

so I plug it into the Mars map,

所以我把它插进火星地图里了。

and click the button and there's my directions.

然后按一下这个按钮，就能看到我的指示。

I go to Chrysokeras.

我要去科瑞索克莱斯.

(Laughter) Left to the Thymiamata.

（笑）在赛梅塔左边。

Then to Niliacus Lacus,

接着再到内雷卡斯 拉克丝,

which is not a bad name.

这个名字还不算坏。

Niliacus Lacus, try to get the practice, slick-a-tick-a-bacus.

内雷卡斯 拉克丝,多练几遍，说的就溜啦。

That's a cool name. I will say that.

不得不说，这名字不错。

So, I hold back a little of my venom

所以，我应该对这些天文学的中的用词不当

for these astronomical misnomers.

少挑点毛病。

And then of course Arnon to Thoth.

接下来当然是希伯来到图特

And of course there will be advertisements.

还有广告。

This is from their rule book, the International Astronomical Union.

规则书上写到，国际天文学联合会

And you know they're international because

你知道的，之所以称之为国际是因为

they put it "en Francais" as well.

他们附带着法文翻译。

L'Union Astronomique Internationale,

左边的“国际天文联合会”,

for those of you who don't speak French.

这是为你们这些不懂法语的人准备的。

I thought I'd translate for you.

我想我应该给你们翻译过来。

From the rulebook: Nomenclature is a tool.

规则手册上说：术语是一种工具。®

The first consideration, make it clear, simple and unambiguous.

首先这使得原文清楚简洁，表达通顺。

And I think that Djabran Fluctus,

我认为吉布仑 富鲁克图斯

that fits that mode.

就是一个典型。

(Laughter)

（笑）

That's simple, the goddess of goats, very simple.

这很简单，山羊女神，你瞧，多么简单。

Djabran Fluctus.

吉布仑 富鲁克图斯

"Now, Frank is this clear to you, Djabran Fluctus?"

好了，现在你明白吉布仑 富鲁克图斯什么意思了吧？

"Yeah, that's the goat goddess right? The Abacazanian?

恩，那是山羊女神，是吧？阿巴卡扎捏?

(Laughter)

（笑）

It's clear to me."

我明白了

"Listen, I'm going back to the swamp mermaid. Can you call me in a little while?"

听着，我现在要提到湿地美人鱼了。你一会再叫我，好吗？

(Laughter)

（笑）

Also, from the actual document

还有，大家看这些材料，

I highlighted a part I thought may be of interest.

我标注了一部分，我个人认为这部分挺有意思。

Anyone can suggest changing a name.

任何人都可以对改名提出自己的意见。

So, I look to you, fellow member of the Earth community.

各位同仁，我现在就指望住在地球上的诸位了

We've got to change this stuff up fast.

我们要尽快改变这一现状

So, these are actual names of people that work there.

这些是那里工作人员的真实姓名

I did some more investigation.

我还做了些调查

These are more people working for this group.

现在越来越多的人为这个团体工作

And, as you can see, they don't use their first names.

你也看到，他们不用自己的姓。

(Laughter)

（笑）

These are people naming planets, and they won't use their first names.

这些人给星球起名字，他们却不用自己的姓。

Something is askew here.

这有点蹊跷。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Is it because his name is really Jupiter Blunck?

难道是因为他的名字真的是木星·布隆克？

(Laughter)

（笑）

Is that Ganymede Andromeda Burba?

还是木卫·三仙女座·博巴

(Laughter)

（笑）

Is that Mars Ya Marov?

又或者叫火星·亚·麦若

I don't know. But it's investigative material, no doubt.

这我不知道。但是这是调查材料啊，绝对真实。

There are some mapping people who do use their names.

有一些绘图的人，他们的确用了自己的名字。

Witness please, Eugene Shoemaker,

大家请看，尤金·舒梅克

who, diligently, from a young boy

他从年轻的时候就奋发努力

decided he wanted to make maps of celestial bodies.

立志要绘制天体地图

Must have been a very interesting day in the Shoemaker house.

这样的鞋匠家的一天，一定十分有趣

"Mom, I want to make maps."

“妈妈，我想画地图。”

"That's wonderful Eugene. You could make maps of Toronto."

太棒了，尤金。你可以画一画多伦多的地图。

"No, I want to make maps of planets."

不，我想画各个行星的地图。

"Yeah, go to your room."

“好的，回你房间去。”

(Laughter)

（笑）

Martians, Venusians, Jovians.

火星，金星，木星

We have names for places where people don't exist.

像这些地方，荒芜人烟。

That seems a little silly to me.

我觉着有点傻。

There are no Jovians.

没有朱庇特。

Getting back to my premise, I used stamps, by the way,

顺便说一下，前提是，我用的是邮票

because you don't have to pay anybody for the rights.

因为你不用给别人版权税

(Laughter)

（笑）

(Applause)

（掌声）

There is obviously Einstein, Niels Bohr,

显然这里还有爱因斯坦，内尔斯·波尔

de Fermat's last theorem, and I'm not sure whether that's James Coburn

迪福马特的最新定理，我不确定这是詹姆斯·科伯恩的

or Richard Harris.

还是理查德·哈里斯的

(Laughter)

（笑）

It's definitely one of the two. I'm not really clear which one.

肯定是其中一个。我不确定罢了。

But obviously the point is that numbers are maps.

但是很明显重点在于地图就是数据。

And within numbers, is there an underlying secret to the universe?

在这些数据当中，还潜藏着什么宇宙的秘密？

That is the premise of this particular presentation.

这就是这次特别发言的前提。

By the way, that's a natural picture of Saturn,

顺便说一下，这是土星的一张天然照片，

no adjustments. I mean that's just beautiful.

没有修改过。我是说，这很漂亮。

So beautiful that I will even give up a laugh

太漂亮了。我对这个星球的爱

to explain my love of this particular planet,

无以言表。

and the day Saturday, named after it, wonderfully.

而且，周六就是由它命名，太棒了！

So, formulas relate number to form.

因此，用算式把数字组合起来。

That's Euler, his formula

那是欧拉，他的算式

was one of the inspirations that lead to the beginning of string theory

是发现弦理论的灵感来源之一。

which is kind of cool, not that funny, but it is cool.

看起来有点酷，很枯燥，但很酷

(Laughter)

（笑）

He was also famous for having no body.

他还以没有身体（没有伙伴）而著称。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Which a lot of you are like, "How did he figure that out?"

在这方面，你和他很像啊。“他是怎么想出来的啊？”

He's got no body, no man, just a head floating high.

他没有身体，只有头在半空中漂浮着。

Here comes Euler.

欧拉来啦.

(Laughter)

（笑）

And that's an icosahedron,

这是个二十面体。

which is one of the five sacred solids, very important shapes.

它是五个神圣的立方体之一，非常重要。

You see the icosahedron again.

你看，又是个二十面体。

The dodecahedron, it's dual.

这个十二面体是双面的。

There is a dodecahedron which I had to do in my room last night.

这是我昨晚在房间做得。

The five sacred solids, as you can see there.

你看，那就是五个神圣立方体

Which is not to be confused with the five sacred salads.

别跟沙拉混了。（solids和salads音近）

(Laughter)

（笑）

Blue cheese, ranch, oil and vinegar, thousand islands and house.

带蓝纹的乳酪，牧场，这是截然不同的东西。还有群岛和房屋

I suggest the house.

我推荐房屋。

The reality, now here is something important.

实际上，有一点值得注意，

What's important about this is

重要的是，

these shapes are duals of each other.

这些图形，都是相对的。

And you can see how the icosahedron

你看这个二十面体

withdraws into the dodecahedron

会变成十二面体，

and then they just merge into each other.

这两者结合的很好。

So, the whole concept of branes in the universe,

所以说，提到宇宙外层这个概念，

if the universe is shaped like a dodecahedron

假设宇宙的状似十二面体，

this is a very good map of what could possibly be.

这张图很好地展示了一种可能情况。

And that is, of course, what we are here to talk about.

当然，这就是我们在这谈的这个问题。

What a coincidence!

真是巧了！

October 9th, in France, Jean-Pierre Luminet

在十月九号，法国的让·皮埃尔·卢米涅

said that the universe is probably shaped like a dodecahedron,

宣称，他们的研究显示，

based on information that they got from this probe.

宇宙极有可能是个十二面体。

This would be a normal wave pattern.

这是个很标准的波动图示。

But what they're seeing, way out there in the far reaches

但是他们看到的，远在万里之外的

of the microwave background,

微波背景

is this kind of odd undulation.

是很零散的。

It doesn't plug in to what they suspected a flat universe would be.

这就和他们认为宇宙是扁平的猜测不符。

So, you can kind of get an idea from this

所以，从这幅庞大的图片背后

extrapolating that back under this huge picture,

我们可以推断出点什么

so we get this idea of what the primal universe looked like.

比如说原始宇宙是什么样子。

And judging from this, it looks a little like a cheeseburger.

这样看来，它有点像个芝士汉堡。

(Laughter)

（笑）

So, I'm thinking the universe is either a dodecahedron or a cheeseburger.

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。

And for me, that's a win-win.

对我而言，这是双赢。

Everybody goes, I'm happy.

我很高兴，大家都是这么想的。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Better really hurry up.

最好快点。

I just threw this in because

我提到这个是因为

as important as all of our intellectual abilities are,

和我们的智力一样重要的是

without heart and without love it's just -- it's all meaningless.

如果没有情感和爱，这些全都一无是处。

And that, to me, is really beautiful.

那对我来说，实在是太美了。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Except for that creepy guy in the background.

除了在背后偷偷摸摸的人以外。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Getting back to the point of my particular presentation,

回到我的陈述的观点

Kepler, one of my great heroes,

开普勒，我的一个大英雄

who realized that these five solids, which I spoke of earlier,

他发现我刚才提到的那五个立方体

were related somehow to the planets,

和行星体多少有点关系。

but he couldn't prove it. It freaked him out.

但他无法证实。这可真让他头疼。

But it did lead to Newton discovering gravity.

但是，这使牛顿发现了地心引力。

So, maps of things leading to organized understandings

所以，地图能使我们对赖以生存的宇宙

of the universe in which we emerge.

有了有条理的认识。

Now this is Isaac from a Vietnamese stamp.

现在这是越南邮票上的以撒。

(Laughter)

（笑）

I am not suggesting at all that my Vietnamese brothers and sisters

我不是说，所有的越南兄弟姐妹

could maybe use a little art class here and there. But ...

或许应该上几堂美术课。但是，

(Laughter)

（笑）

that's not a good picture.

这张照片实在不怎么样！

(Laughter)

（笑）

Not a good picture. Now, my friends in the island of Nevis

照片一般。看，我在尼维斯岛的朋友们

are a little better. Look at that! That's Isaac Newton.

这张还好看点。看，那张是爱萨卡·牛顿

That guy is rockin'.

这家伙酷毕了

(Laughter)

（笑）

What a handsome cat.

猫很不错啊。

Once again, Nicaragua let me down.

尼加拉瓜，又来了。饶了我吧！

(Laughter)

（笑）

And Copernicus looks like Johnny Carson, which is really weird.

康普尼克斯看起来像约翰·尼卡森，真奇怪。

(Laughter)

（笑）

I don't get that at all.

我完全不理解。

Once again, these guys rock it out.

再说一遍，这些人太帅了！

Isaac is kickin' ass. Man, he looks like a rock star.

艾萨克太了不起了。哦，天哪！他看上去就是个摇滚明星。♫

This is freaky is a major way.

这太梦幻了。

This is Sierra Leone.

这是塞拉·里昂。

They got little babies in there, floating in there.

他们让小孩子在那漂着。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Man. I don't really need to comment on this.

哦，我没必要做评论

But I didn't know that Isaac Newton was in the Moody Blues. Did you?

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？

(Laughter)

（笑）

When did this happen?

这是什么时候的事啊？

(Laughter)

（笑）

It's a different kind of course. And they've got five apples?

类型不同，当然。他们有5个苹果？

I mean these guys are extrapolating in realms

我意思是，这些人钻研领域

that are not necessarily valid.

都没什么逻辑性

Although five is a good number, of course.

虽然五这个数字不错。

Ecuador, my friend Kepler,

厄瓜多尔，我朋友开普勒

as you can see, they call him Juan.

你是知道的，他们叫他胡安.

(Laughter)

（笑）

Juan? No! Johannes, not Juan.

胡安？不对！是乔翰不是胡安。

It wasn't Carlos Chaplain. It's wrong.

这不是卡洛斯牧师。弄错了。

(Laughter)

（笑）

René Descartes, of course. Once again

勒内·笛卡尔，又来了。

these Grenada people, this is like way too sick

这些格林纳达人，这办法太可怕了

for anybody's imagination.

令人难以想象

He's all murky. There is little kids leaning on his leg,

他太阴郁。有个孩子倚在他腿上，

little ghosts flying around. We gotta clean this stuff up

幽灵在旁边四处飞舞。我们还是赶紧忘了吧

fast, ladies and gentlemen.

女士们，先生们。

(Laughter)

（笑）

This is, of course, the Cartesian coordinates.

这当然是笛卡尔坐标。

Once again, that's Sierra Leone.

又来啦，塞拉·里昂

This is again, indicating how numbers

这又一次显示了

relate to space relate to form, maps of the universe.

数字与空间，空间与宇宙的表格，图示之间的关系。

Because that's why we're here, really, I think to figure stuff out and to love each other.

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。

Descartes. (Laughter)

笛卡尔（笑）

Before the horse. (Laughter)

在马的前面。

Now, Monaco took Descartes, and just flipped him around.

摩纳哥取代了笛卡尔，颠覆了他的理论

Now, Monaco is problematic for me, and I'll show you why.

算起来摩洛哥跟我还有点瓜葛，我会告诉你们为什么

Here is a map. All they have is a casino on it.

就是这张地图，上面只有个赌场。

(Laughter)

（笑）

And why Franklin Delano Roosevelt is on their map

为什么富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福（曾经的美国总统）会在上面

I don't even want to hazard a guess.

我不想猜。

But I'd say he'd been to Hellespointica Depressio recently.

但是我说过他最近去了海里斯庞提卡·迪普锐斯（意为凹陷）

(Laughter)

（笑）

This is the flag of Monaco. Ladies and gentlemen,

女士们，先生们，这是摩纳哥的国旗。

the flag of Indonesia. Please examine.

印尼的国旗。请看。

(Laughter)

（笑）

(Applause)

（掌声）

Not sure how this came to be, but it's not right.

不知道怎么会这样，但这可是不对的。

In Monaco, "No, what are you talking about?

在摩纳哥，“不，你在说什么呀？

They are so different.

他们完全不同。

Look, ours is more red, it's longer.

看，我们的旗更红，更长。

They stole our flag! They stole our flag!"

他们偷了我们的国旗！偷了我们的国旗！”

(Laughter)

（笑）

Bode's law wasn't even his law. It was a guy named Titus.

彼得定律并不是他首创的，而是一个叫提多的发现的。

And the reason I just bring this up because it is a law that doesn't really work.

我之所以提到它，是因为这条定律根本不管用。

That's Jude Law and some of his films recently didn't work.

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）

(Laughter)

（笑）

Just a correlation that indicates how things are misinterpreted.

只是举个例子来看看平日里误解是怎样产生的。

And I wonder if the photographer said, "Okay, Jude,

我在想，假使摄影师说，“好的，裘德”

could you touch your tooth? That's good."

你碰一下牙齿，好吗？恩，很好！”

Just a tip, if you're being photographed

提一个小建议，拍照的时候

for press pictures, don't touch your teeth.

可千万不要摸着你的牙齿摆动作。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Prime numbers, Gauss, one of my favorites.

质数，高斯，我喜欢。

Golden section, I've been obsessed with this thing

黄金分割，打我一出生，

since before I was born.

就迷上它了

I know that scares a lot of you,

我知道这是很多人的噩梦

but that was my purpose entirely.

但这也是我的目的。

There we can see Fibonacci numbers related to the Golden Section,

我们可以看到斐波那契数列和黄金分割有关，

because Fibonacci and Golden Section

因为两者

relate to the unfolding of the measured meter of matter, as I refer to it.

我说过，关系到测量仪表的运作

If Fibonacci had been on Paxil,

如果斐波那契依靠吃帕罗西汀抗抑郁。

(Laughter)

（笑）

that would be the Fibonacci series.

下面是斐波那契数列。

"Ten milligram, 20 milligram."

“10毫克，20毫克”

"Leonardo, dinner's ready, put down those books and take your pills."

雷纳多，该吃饭了，放下书先吃药吧。

"Yes, Mama."

好的，妈妈

(Laughter)

（笑）

Alright where is this going? That's a good question.

好的，现在讲到哪了？问得好！

Here is the premise that I began 27 years ago.

下面是27年前我做得假设

If numbers can express

假设数字能表现

the laws of this incredible universe that we live,

宇宙的规则，这个人类居住的宇宙是多么的不可思议。

I reason, through some sort of reverse engineering,

我认为通过一些逆向工程

we could extrapolate from them

我们能够从中推断出

some basic structural element of this universe.

宇宙的一些结构单位。

And that's what I did. Twenty-seven years ago

这就是我做的事情。27年前，

I started working on this.

我就开始研究这个了

And I tried to build a particle accelerator.

我现在尝试做一个质子加速器。

(Laughter)

（笑）

And that didn't work out well.

可是结果却不怎么样。

So, then I thought a calculator is a metaphor.

那时我认为计算机是一个比喻。

I can just divide numbers, that's like atom smashing.

我只是拆数而已，就像是原子爆炸。

That's what I did. That's how I found Moleeds.

这就是我的工作。这就是我如何发现了莫利德

Moleeds are what I believe

我认为

the thing that will allow string theory to be proved.

弦理论可以用来证实它。

They are the nodes on the string,

他们是些节点。这些节点分布在弦上

patterns and relationships, 27, 37.

模式和关系中，27，37.

That was the first chart I came up with.

这是我绘制的第一幅图表。

You can see, even if you don't go for the numbers,

即使一个人不喜欢数字，也会发现

the beauty of the symmetry.

对称的妙处

The numbers from one to 36, divided into six groups.

数字1到36，分成6组。

Symmetry, pairs.

对称分组。

Every top adds up to 37.

顶上两数相加之和是37.

Bottom, all 74.

底部相加之和是74。

There is so many intricate relationships that I'm not going to go there now,

还有很多复杂的关系，我就不在这讲了。

because you would say, "Hey, go back to the Fluctus part."

因为你会说，“嘿，还是讲讲伏流克斯（流动地带）吧”。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Circle of Fifths, acoustic harmony, geometric symmetry.

调音器和五度圈，声音协调，几何对称

I knew those two were related.

我知道这两者相互关联。

Once again, the Cartesian kind of cross-over.

又要再说一下笛卡尔坐标，

So, I said if I'm going to put a circle,

我要画一个圆，

see what kind of patterns I get, boom, the Red System.

看看我能得到什么图形

Look at that. You can't just make this stuff up, ladies and gentlemen.

大家看，这种事情我们做不来。

(Laughter)

（笑）

You can't just go around going, "Oh, I'm going to put some triangles in a circle

你们不能吊儿郎当，要认真对待。“我要在圆里画一个三角形，

and they're going to be symmetrical. And they're all going to add up,

他们要互相对称。而且这要合情合理，

and it's going to be, oh yeah, I figured that out."

这就要...，哦，好，我想到了。”

This is beyond anything anybody could just make up.

任何人都办不到。

There is the Orange System.

这是橙色体系。

(Laughter)

(笑)

And you'll see over here, these are multiples of the number 27.

你看这，这些都是数字27的倍数。

And they recapitulate that shape,

他们概括出这个模式

even though that's a circle of nine and that's a circle of 36. It's nuts.

即使这只是9和36的倍数。真是胡说八道。

(Laughter)

（笑）

That's the Green System. It all folds in half

那是绿色系统。都是对半折叠

on the Green System, right between 18 and 19.

正好在18与19之间。

The Blue System. The Violet. It's all there.

蓝色系统。紫色系统。都在这。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Look at that! I mean you cannot make that stuff up.

大家看，我意思是你们绝对办不到。

(Laughter)

（笑）

That just doesn't fall out of a tree, ladies and gentlemen.

女士们先生们，这可不是像放弃一棵树那么简单，

Twenty-seven years of my life!

这可是我27年的大好青春哪！

(Laughter)

（笑）

And I'm presenting it here at TED. Why?

我现在在TED网站上把它呈现给大家。为什么呢？

Because this is the place if aliens land, I hope they come here.

因为我想如果外星人来到地球，我想让它到这来。

(Laughter)

（笑）

"We are going to destroy the Earth. Hmmm ... maybe not."

"我们要毁灭地球。恩，或许不会。"

(Laughter)

（笑）

In this last year I have found these subsequent systems

去年，我发现了下面的体系

which allow for the mathematic possibilities

考虑到多样态流型在

of the Calabi-Yau manifolds

数学方面的可能性

in a way that doesn't necessitate these little hidden dimensions.

某种程度上，这没有使得这些隐藏的图表变得那么有必要。

Which works mathematically, but it just doesn't seem God-like to me.

这些图表属于数学的范畴，但我不喜欢。

It just seems like it's not sexy and elegant, it's hidden.

这好像不那么迷人讲究，我们看不到。

I don't want hidden, I want to see it.

我可不想藏着掖着，我想看到它。

(Laughter)

（笑）

I found other pairs all have symmetry,

我发现其他的几对都是对称的。

even though, unlike the master one, their symmetry is split.

虽然不像主要的那一个，此种对称是分开的。

Unbelievable. This is like crazy.

不可思议。太疯狂了。

Am I the only one that sees this?

难道只有我一人看到此种状况吗？

(Laughter)

（笑）

You know, I didn't just draw this in a day, by the way.

顺便说一下，大家都知道，我不是一天做完的

You know, try making some charts like this at home.

在家想要画一些图表的话，

You gotta be accurate! There's measurement involved, increments.

你应该做到精确无误。这里面涉及度量和增量。

These are maps, by the way.

顺便说一下，这些是地图，

Not stamps, but one day.

不是邮票。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Okay, I'm getting to the punch. Golden Ratio, it's crazy.

好的，下面是黄金分割，这太厉害了。

And look at this, built within it is the Golden Ratio.

看这个，这里面的是黄金分割

I start looking at that, and look at them again.

我看了看，又看了看，

They start looking like planets.

越看他们越像行星体

I go to JPL.

我去了喷气推进实验室。

I look at the orbits of the planets.

我观察了行星运行轨道。

I find 18 examples of it in our solar system.

发现在太阳系有18种这样的例子。

I never told anybody. This is the first thing. This could be history.

重要的是，我从来没告诉任何人。这可能成为历史。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Kepler was right.

开普勒是对的。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Eighteen and 19, the middle of the Moleeds, 0.618 is the golden section.

18和19，莫利德的中间点，0.618是黄金分割点。

Multiply them together, 18.618 x 19.618 is 365.247.

把他们相乘，18.618 x 19.618结果是365.247.

Which is .005 different from the number of days in a year.

这和一年365天仅差0.005.

Hey, you can't make this up.

这些是我们人类做不到的。

(Laughter)

（笑）

Thank you very much.

非常感谢

(Applause)

（掌声）
