As exciting as going to Mars will be, there is one future journey that is even more awe-inspiring, a trip through time. One of the most provocative science fiction ideas of all time is the notion of traveling through time itself. It may not be as far-fetched as you think. "Time is only a kind of space. We can move forward and backward in time just as we can move forward and backward in space. To prove this theory, I invented a machine to travel through time. " Dr Ron Mallet dreams of inventing the first actual time machine. He's already published radical new theories about life, space and time. Now, he's ready to move his dream beyond science fiction.
登录火星将是何等的振奋人心。未来的旅程是一次穿梭时空的旅行，这将会更加令人惊叹。历史上最刺激的科幻小说概念就是穿越时空。也许这并没有你想的那样遥不可及。“时间只是空间的一种。我们可以在空间里来回移动，同理我们也可以在时间里前后移动。为了证明这一理论，我发明了一个时光机器。”罗恩· 马利特博士梦想着成为发明真正的时光机器的第一人。他曾就生命和时空问题发表过极新式的理论。现在他正准备超越科幻小说，来实现这个梦想。
"My father was a television repairman. And he loved electronics and he gave me a lot of inspirations by giving me scientific toys like gyroscope and crystal radio sets. He was 36 when he died. About a year after he died, I came across a book that changed everything for me. If I could go back in time, then I could see him again. "Dr Mallet decided at that moment to become a physicist. He began studying black holes, quanta mechanics and the revolutionary ideas of Elbert Einstein.
“我的父亲是电视机维修工人。他爱与电子产品打交道，他给我带来很多灵感，因为他总是给我买电子玩具，比如说陀螺仪和晶体收音机。他36岁时就去世了。他去世后一年，我读到一本改变我一生的书。如果我能回到过去的时间里，我就能再看见他了。”从这一刻起，罗恩· 马利特就立志成为一名物理学家。他开始研究黑洞，量子力学和爱因斯坦的革新思想。
"Einstein said that time was something that could be changed. It wasn't something that was fixed. Normally we think of time as a straight line going from the past, the present to the future. If space is being twisted vigorously enough, then that time line will be twisted into a loop so we can go from the future back into the past."
“爱因斯坦说过，时间是可以改变的。时间不是固定的。一般我们认为时间是一条直线，从过去走到现在，再从现在走向未来。如果空间能被足够的外力扭曲，那么时间也能扭曲成圈，这样我们就能从未来回到过去。”
According to Einstein, as you approach the speed of light, time slows down. If we can somehow go faster than light, time might reverse itself.
根据爱因斯坦理论，当你接近光速运动时，时间就会慢下来。如果我们快于光速，时间就会倒流。
