爱因斯坦相对论

Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.

爱因斯坦晚年与青年学生座谈时曾提出相对论定义科普版：如果你和一个美女一起坐了两小时，你会认为仅仅是一分钟；如果你在通红的火炉上坐了一分钟，你会认为已经过了两小时。

The articulation of the theory of relativity catapulted Albert Einstein to the pinnacle of fame.

相对论的问世将艾尔伯特·爱因斯坦推到了名誉的顶峰。

But, it could be objected, if the history of mathematics and, to some extent, of theoretical physics, is simply that of uncovering, and formalizing, what we already know then how is it possible to create new ideas, like Einstein's relativity, that totally lie outside our experience?

但是，也可能是反例，如果数学史在一定程度上，发现简单的理论物理的正规化，我们已经知道当时怎么可能创造新的想法，如爱因斯坦的相对论，这完全不在我们的经验？

In his Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein states two postulates

在相对论中，爱因斯坦阐述了两条假设

If that is the case, says Hawking, Einstein's general theory of relativity would have to be modified, and there would be no singularities.

如果这是事实的话，哈肯说，爱因斯坦的相对论必须被修正，而且也不会有非凡现象。

Marked the birth of the theory of relativity, is that in 1905 when the 26-year-old Einstein published "On the electrodynamics of moving."

相对论诞生的标志，是1905年即爱因斯坦26岁时发表的《论动体的电动力学》。

In 1915 Einstein created the general theory of relativity, further reveals the four-dimensional space-time material relationship.

1915年爱因斯坦创建了广义相对论，进一步揭示了四维空间时间物质的关系。

Arthur Leonard Schawlow, for some time a professor at Stanford University but now deceased, showed theoretically that masers could be made to operate in the optical and infrared region and proposed how this could be accomplished in particular systems.

这个实验的精度是前无先例的，能测出小到10^-12的相对频率偏差，这更确凿地证实了七十多年前迈克耳孙-莫雷的实验结果，这个实验以及当时发现不久的穆斯堡尔效应，都证实了爱因斯坦的相对论理论。

Jesus probably had his first revelations while doing humdrum carpentry work. Einstein worked out his theory of relativity while serving as a clerk in a Swiss patent office. Machiavelli wrote The Prince and the Discourses while immersed in the dull life of a small country town where the only excitement he knew was playing cards with muleteers at the inn.

或许耶酥在做单调的木工时就有了他的第一次发现，爱因斯坦在瑞士议价专利局当职员时就得出了相对论；在一个乡镇的枯燥生活中，马基雅弗利所仅有的乐趣只是与客栈里的骡夫玩玩牌，而这就在这样的生活中他却写出了《王子》和《论述》两本著作；伊曼纽尔。

It has long been accustomed to the definition of zero-dimensional point, a straight line for the one-dimensional, flat for the two-dimensional, space for three-dimensional, Einstein

长期以来人们习惯于将点定义为零维，直线为一维，平面为二维，空间为三维，爱因斯坦在相对论中引入时间维，就形成四维时空。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
