这是宇宙间最强大的力量?(火遍海外社媒)
随着最近引力波的被证实,互联网上又重燃对这位一百年前就能预言今天科学发现的神人-爱因斯坦的热情。坊间一直传说爱因斯坦在发现相对论后还有更惊世骇俗的发现,不过一直未予披露。最近在国外社交媒体上热传据说在80年代末,也就是爱因斯坦去世20多年后,他的女儿Lieserl,谨遵父命,没有将她父亲写给她的1400封亲笔书信出版,而是捐赠给了以色列的希伯来大学,而其中一封信中要求他女儿将信的内容一直保密,直到到人类社会能够完全接受其中的概念为止。
下面就是该信全文,我抓空试译了其中的一些精彩段落.
"When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world. I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
当我提出相对论的时候,只有极少的人能够理解我的意思,下面我将揭示给全人类的内容也将和现有世界上现有的狭隘认知相冲突的。 我要求你将这些书信一直保密,不管是几年,还是几十年,一直到整个人类社会能够完全接受我下面将要解释的内容为止。
There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.
宇宙间存在一种极其强大的作用力,而科学界迄今为止对其仍然没有一个正式的解释,这种力统领和涵盖宇宙间其他任何我们已知和未知的作用力。
This universal force is LOVE.
这种无所不在的力就是爱。
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.
当科学家们寻找一种能够解释整个宇宙的大一统理论的时候,他们忽视了这种世间最强大的无形之力。
Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.
爱是光,无论是施予还是接受者,都会被她所照亮。爱是引力,因为它使我们一些人互相深深吸引。
Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.
爱是能量,因为它放大所有我们所珍视的,并让人类免于被自身的盲目自私所灭绝。爱,它释放人间之善,它揭示生命的意义。
For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.
我们为爱而生,我们为爱而死。 爱就是神,神就是爱。
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.
这种力解释了宇宙间的一切,并给生命以意义。这是我们物理学家忽视得太久的一个变量,这其中的原因也许是这是宇宙间唯一一种人类不能完全操纵的能量。
To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy.
If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.
However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.
当我们学会提供和接受这种宇宙能量的时候,亲爱的Lieserl,我们届时必将确信爱会征服一切,将超越我们所知的所有和任何事物,因为爱,它就是生命的根本。
I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it's too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer!"
我很抱歉一直将此深藏心底,这颗心在我一生中一直为你而静静跳动。也许现在道歉已经太晚,不过鉴于时间只是相对的,我现在想要告诉你我爱你,并谢谢你正是因为你我才找到了这个终 极答案!
Your father Albert Einstein
你的父亲 阿尔伯特。爱因斯坦
那么这篇文章的可信度到底如何呢?实际上根据爱因斯坦文集中的书信我们可以看到,Lieserl 是爱因斯坦在1902年一月和他的妻子Mileva Maríc在他们结婚前一年迎来的一个女儿的名字,而根据爱因斯坦在1903年书信中提到的线索,Lieserl在1903年不幸早夭,去世的时候只有大约21个月大,当然也就不可能在上个世纪80年代将书信捐献给希伯来大学。这封揭示爱因斯坦临终秘密的信也当然是后人的托伪之作。虽然真实的原作者仍是个谜,不过这篇伪造的书信文笔优美,其中一些观点也颇有见地,也许最终证明是个“遥遥领先的预言”也未可知,难怪在国外社交媒体上上引起轰动,被人纷纷转载,
其实好希望这是真的,您说呢?
