Scale this up to the universe as a whole,and it gets even weirder.
把此实验提升到整个宇宙的层次 就会变得更光怪陆离
If reality depends on where you are.
若现实取决于人的位置
Then how can you know what's really going on in the universe.
那宇宙的实际状况又该如何得知
What's more,what chance do we stand to finding the key.
更重要的是 我们查出的几率有多大
to how the universe works if we can't even tell if.
有关宇宙运作关键 如果我们自己都无法判定了
two events are simultaneous or not.
两件事是否同时发生
Don't worry,because Einstein thankfully came out with the answer.
别担心 因为幸好爱因斯坦提出了解答
in his famous theory of special relativity.
在他著名的狭义相对论当中
Einstein proposed that reality is flexible because time itself is flexible.
爱因斯坦提出弹性现实的理论 因为时间本身就有弹性
It might sound strange,but this flexibility is just the start.
这听来可能很怪异 但这种弹性却开启了
of a whole new concept in physics.
在物理学上全新的概念
Einstein went down to suggest that just like magnetism,electricity and light.
爱因斯坦继续主张 就像磁性、电力和光线一样
both time and space are inextricably linked in what he called "spacetime".
时间和空间都在彼此纠结 在他所称作"时空"中
This spacetime is flexible as well.
而这个时空也有弹性
It can be bended and warped by the shear mass of heavy things
时空的弯曲变形取决于重物的质量
like stars,and planets and galaxies.
好比恒星、行星 以及星系
