0:20 - 1:16
The first human-made picture of a black hole looks like a glowing ring. There's no light shining from a black hole, and the ring shows the surroundings of a black hole. It is super massive and very far from the Earth.
人类给黑洞制作的第一张照片看起来像一个发光的环。没有光能行黑洞里射出来，那个环是黑定的周边区域。它具有超高的质量，同时离地球很远。
1:23 - 2:24
11 radio telescopes around the globe had been collecting waves from the region of the black hole since 2006. Scientists then converted the wave data into visible wavelengths to make the picture.
从2006年起，地球上不同地方的11架辐射望远镜就在收录从那个黑洞的位置传来的波的信息。然后科学家把这些数据转化成肉眼可见的波长来制作这幅图片。
2:28 - 3:00
Radboud University Nijmegen astrophysicist Heino Falcke claimed the picture to be aweawe-inspiring, even "like looking into the gates of hell," and he also admire the picture's value to physics.
Radboud University Nijmegen 的天体物理学家 Heino Falcke 说这个图像使人敬畏，甚至“好像看到地狱的大门” ，而他也认同图像对物理学的价值。
3:05 - 4:15
A lot of the physics theories behind black holes were based on relativistic physics pioneered by Albert Einstein. From my understanding, black hole have gravitational forces so strong that neither matters nor light can escape from them.
很多关于黑洞的物理理论是基于由爱因斯坦探索的相对物理。在我理解，黑洞的引力足够大，物质和光都跑不掉。
4:16 - 5:56
Scientists think a black hole should have six main components, including singularity, core of the black hole, accretion disk, gas and matter surrounding the black hole, and relativistic jet, particles shot out as the black hole takes in matters.
科学家认为黑洞有六个主要部分，包括singularity，黑洞的中心，accretion disk，黑洞周围的气体和物质，和 relativistic jet，黑洞吸进物质时喷出来的物体。
6:06 - 6:50
The above are just what we think so far. We have scientific methods to help us weed out wrong thinking. However, our understanding is still limited what we know about physics and about the world.
以上仅仅是迄今为止我们的想法。科学的方法可以帮助我们过滤掉错误的想法。可是我们对宇宙的理解还是被局限在我们对物理和对世界的了解里面。
6:56 - 8:15
Our minds think we know what everything is because we know the basic building blocks, chemistry elements, cells, for example. However, we are still discovering new chemical elements and there's still a lot we don't know about human and animal cells.
我们觉得我们对事物有充分的理解，因为我们知道事物的基本组成部分，化学元素，细胞，等等。可其实，我们还在发现新的化学元素，很多关于人和动物细胞的东西我们也还不了解。
8:25 - 10:03
Only in very few cases can we know something for sure, and those are usually under certain assumptions. Laboratory experiments let us tell things apart, and even then we are just hoping we don't know about the lab environment will not cause the result to be different. That's why we often see new research results contrary to previous research results.
只有在很悠闲的一些情况下我们才能对一些结论做出肯定，而且通常是在一些假设之下的。实验室里的实验可以告诉我们事物有什么不同，而那也是在我们希望我们对实验室环境的未知不会使实验结果产生变化。这也是为什么我们常看到一些新的研究结果是和旧的研究结果背道而驰的。
10:08 - 11:47
As another example, Adam Reiss from John Hopkins University recently calculated the Hubble constant to be 9% higher than the previous calculation. That would mean the universe is a billion years younger than the previous estimate, or there are something about physics or some matters we haven't discovered in the universe.
再举一个例子，John Hopkins University 的 Adam Reiss 不久前计算了Hubble常数，它比原先的计算高出了9%。这就意味着宇宙比我们原先估算的年轻10亿年，或者我们尚未发现一些物理性质或者宇宙中的一些物质。
11:55 - 13:27
When people believed the earth to be flat, what we thought about the earth and the stars were all based on that assumption. When people realized the earth is probably round, we started using scientific methods or see which if our hypotheses could be proven wrong or not. Our understanding about the universe is not complete at the moment, and it is likely to keep changing.
当人们认为大地是平的的时候，我们对于大地星辰的想法都是基于这个假设的。当人们意识到地球可能是圆的时，我们就开始用科学方法去验证我们的设想是否错误。我们队宇宙的理解还不完全，而且可能会继续变化。
