It recognized Mister Fermi as one of the greatest physicists of the Twentieth Century.

是公认的20世纪最伟大的物理学家之一。

Mister Fermi taught at Columbia University in New York City.

在纽约哥伦比亚大学教书。

We must get past this Fermi filter of being a single planet civilization.

我们必须摆脱让我们成为单一星球文明的过滤器。

Mister Fermi directed the building of the first atomic reactor that made the reaction possible.

指导建立了首个原子反应堆，使核聚变反应成为可能。

And the Fermi paradox, do you know about that?

还有悖论， 你知道吗？

(whoosh) (object cuts through air) Number seven are Fermi bubbles.

（嗖嗖声）（物体划破空气）七号是气泡。

While possible, none of these hypotheses  properly explain the Fermi Paradox.

尽管可能，但这些假设都无法正确解悖论。

The existence of alien life could be explained by the Fermi paradox.

外星生命的存在可以用悖论来解。

In response to the Fermi Paradox, an economist  named Robin Hanson proposed a theory called the Great Filter.

为了回应悖论，一位名叫罗宾汉森的经济学家提出了一个名为“大过滤器”的理论。

Like Mister Oppenheimer, Mister Fermi recognized the dangers of atomic energy. They both worried about the possible use of a hydrogen bomb.

和罗伯特·奥本海默一样，识到了原子能的危险。两人都为氢弹的使用可能感到担心。

An astronomer named Frank Drake took Fermi's question and answered it with an EQUATION, because THAT'S what astronomers do.

一位名叫弗兰克·德雷克 (Frank Drake) 的天文学家接受了的问题并用方程式回答了它，因为天文学家就是这样做的。

This  famous contradiction, named the Fermi Paradox, has sparked a myriad of radical  theories, which may explain why humans seem to be alone in the universe.

这个名为悖论的著名矛盾引发了无数激进的理论，这或许可以解为什么人类在宇宙中似乎是孤独的。

Loeb became suspicious because just 0.4 seconds after LIGO spotted the gravitational waves, a space telescope called Fermi glimpsed a bright flash of gamma-ray light in the same area of the sky.

勒布提出质疑是因为LIGO观测到引力波信号仅0.4秒后, 太空望远镜就检测到伽玛射线爆发，而引力波和伽玛射线爆发均产生于同一片区域。

Firms are feted for asking interviewees oh-so-clever Fermi questions like " How many piano-tuners are there in Guangdong? " or " How many cinnamon swirls would it take to fill the Reichstag? "

公司会因为问面试者一些看似聪明的问题而受到称赞，比如“广东有多少钢琴调音师？”或者“需要多少肉桂卷才能填满德国国会大厦？”。

So the purpose of SpaceX is to extend life beyond Earth on a sustained basis so that we can at least pass one of the Fermi great filters, which is that of being a single planet civilization.

所以SpaceX公司的目的是持续地将生命延伸到地球之外，这样我们至少可以通过大过滤器中的一个，也就是让我们成为单一星球文明的那个大过滤器。

Hippke and Learned are not the first to think of this. In 2006, physicist Richard Carrigan of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, in the US, raised the question of whether extraterrestrial intelligence signals needed to be decontaminated.

希普克和罗恩德并不是第一个想到这一点的人。 2006年，美国国家加速器实验室的物理学家理查德·卡里根也提出了是否需要对外星人的信号进行净化的问题。

And so we have to -- You know, people talk about like, the sort of, the great filters, the things that perhaps, you know, we talk about the Fermi paradox, and where are the aliens?

所以我们必须——你知道， 人们谈论类似的，那种，伟大的过滤器， 也许，你知道，我们谈论悖论， 外星人在哪里？

If you imagine the Milky Way as a huge, revolving disc of stars known as the galactic plane, one Fermi bubble extends from the center of the galaxy above the galactic plane, and the other is below it.

如果你把银河系想象成一个巨大的、旋转的恒星圆盘，称为银河平面， 一个气泡从银河系中心延伸到银河平面上方， 另一个在它下面。
