So as cosmologists what we do is we apply Einstein's theory of relativity to the universe as a whole.

作为宇宙学家，我们要做的就是把爱因斯坦的相对论应用到整个宇宙中。

That said, cosmologists are pushing the limits of mathematical models to speculate on what, if anything, exists beyond our spacetime.

然而，宇宙学家还在 将数学模型的极限向外推，来推断在我们的空间时间之外 有什麽存在（如果有的话）。

Supernovae provided the explanation, and it was an English cosmologist almost as singular in manner as Fritz Zwicky who figured it out.

Boltzmann didn't get quite that far in his thinking; the brains themselves were introduced by later cosmologists building on his work.

Stephen Hawking, renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist, left an indelible mark on the way we perceive and understand the cosmos.

斯蒂芬霍金，著名的理论物理学家和宇宙学家，在我们感知和理解宇宙的方式上留下了不可磨灭的印记。

To be clear, this concept is important to cosmologists, but it can be weird and confusing to someone who is just learning about all this.

需要说明的是，这个概念对宇宙学家来说很重要，但对于刚开始学习这些的人来说，它可能很奇怪，很令人感到困惑。

If you had to offer one piece of advice for future generations of scientists, namely physicists and cosmologists, what would it be?

如果你必须给未来几代科学家 也就是物理学家和宇宙学家提一条建议 你提什么？

The big issue, even for cosmologists today, is whether or not that primordial state contained some of the information needed for the appearance and development of the cosmos.

即使对今天的宇宙学家来说，这也是个大问题：原始形态是否包含对宇宙的外观和发展所需的一些信息。

Cosmologists have done the equivalent of measuring our Universe's triangles by looking at a picture of the early Universe, and studying the spatial relationship between different points on that picture.

宇宙学家进行了类似的实验，通过观察早期宇宙的图像，研究图中不同点之间的空间关系来测量我们宇宙的三角形。

Cosmologists should be able to spot the imprint of these gravitational waves by measuring the polarisation of the microwaves; this is the way the light is ordered together.

宇宙学家应该能够通过测量微波的极化来发现这些引力波的印记；这就是灯一起排序的方式。
