The first follows from the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein.

第一个来源于爱因斯坦的相对论。

Although it might overwrite Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

虽然它可能会推翻爱因斯坦的相对论。

Then the researchers will check whether the simulacrum affects water waves in a way analogous to that which general relativity predicts for light—itself a wave—approaching an astrophysical black hole.

到时，研究者会检查这个模拟物，是否会以一种与广义相对论预测的光（光本身就是一种波），接近天体物理学黑洞类似的方式影响水波。

A century after the German born scientist formulated his famous theory of relativity in Switzerland, and 50 years after his death on April 18, 1955, Einstein is being reclaimed by the country he rejected.

爱因斯坦生于德国，一个世纪前，他在瑞士发表了著名的相对论。1955年4月18日，他永远离开了这个世界。50年后的今天，他曾摒弃的国家为他重扬名。

Or what about theories like Plato's theory of forms or Einstein's theory of relativity?

或者像柏拉图的形式论或者爱因斯坦的相对论呢？

They have courses on topics from applied computer science to special relativity.

他们开设了从应用计算机科学到狭义相对论等主题的课程。

Neither of us has time to worry about relativity right now, Dr. Brand.

现在不是考虑相对论的时候，Brand 博士。

According to Einstein'sTheory of Relativity, all matter distorts space causing it to change direction.

根据爱因斯坦的相对论，所有物质都会使空间变形，并使得光线路径发生改变。

We all live on Earth, and none of us are near a black hole, or approaching the speed of light so I'm not talking about the effects of relativity on whether time actually passes fast or slow sometimes, ok?

我们都生活在地球上，没有人靠近黑洞，或者接近光速，所以我不是在谈论相对论对时间流逝的影响，是快是慢，好吗？

Einstein's theory of relativity for which he's so famous disagreed with Newton's law of gravity in just the right way to explain Mercury's odd orbit.

爱因斯坦著名的相对论与牛顿的万有引力定律不一致，正好解释了水星奇怪的轨道。

So you get the Nobel Prize for making a black hole in the lab, you get the Nobel Prize for proving general relativity wrong, and you get the Nobel Prize for demonstrating that the universe is multi-dimensional.

你会因为在实验室里制造黑洞而获得诺贝尔奖，你会因为证明广义相对论是错误的而获得诺贝尔奖，你会因为证明宇宙是多维的而获得诺贝尔奖。

The waves were predicted as part of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity nearly 100 years ago. It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe.

重力波是爱因斯坦近100年前提出的广义相对论的一部分，相对论是有关世间万物和宇宙运行的物理学理论。

I know, it's weird — relativity is like that — but think of it as a slow leak in the orbits, very gradually dropping the neutron stars together.

我知道，这很奇怪——相对论就是这样的——但让我们把它看作是轨道上的一种缓释，慢慢地使中子星落在了一起。

I think in part, this is because special relativity is not quite a big enough subject to ever get its own full class in physics departments.

我认为部分因是，狭义相对论的内容并没有多到可以在物理系单开一门课程。

Suddenly you needed two sets of laws to explain the behavior of the universe, quantum theory for the world of the very small and relativity for the larger universe beyond.

突然之间，你需要有两套规律来解释宇宙的表现，用来解释小世界的量子理论和用来解释外面大宇宙的相对论。

The speed of light is a cornerstone in Einstein's theory of special relativity, which is what gives us the concept of causality: causes precede effects.

光速是爱因斯坦狭义相对论的基石，为我们提供了因果关系的概念：先因后果。

In 1933 Lemaitre made what, for Mr Spencer, is a key observation: " Neither St Paul nor Moses had the slightest idea of relativity."

1933年，勒梅特提出了斯宾塞认为很关键的一个观点：" 圣保罗和摩西都没有一丁点相对论的概念。"

Like the explorers aboard the ABC Jungle Fruit are cruisers searching for resources beyond Earth in a class on Einstein's special relativity over at brilliant.org.

就像 ABC 丛林水果号上的探险者一样，他们是在 brilliant.org 网站上关于爱因斯坦狭义相对论的课程中，寻找地球以外资源的巡航员们。

When I said that questions are important and answers matter less, I am not coming from a point of relativism. I'm not a relativist.

当我说问题重要而答案没那么重要时 我不是从相对论的观点来说的 我不是相对论者。

Well, the next question comes from jMozac, who asked, " The quantum universe, was Einstein wrong about his theory of relativity? "

下一个问题来自 jMozac，他问，量子宇宙，爱因斯坦的相对论是不是错了？
