Puzzle of Einstein's 'missing page' issolved: Treasure trove of notes written by the legendary scientist discoveredin a private collection includes information lost since the 1930s

愛因斯坦的“缺失手稿”之謎得到了解決：在私人收藏中發(fā)現(xiàn)的這位傳奇科學(xué)家的筆記包括了自20世紀(jì)30年代以來丟失的信息。

The papers, which have never been shown in public before, will now go ondisplay at Israel's Hebrew University.

這些從未公開發(fā)表過的論文現(xiàn)在將在以色列希伯來大學(xué)展出。?

The university today announced it had acquired the papers, thanks to a donationby the Crown-Goodman Foundation, ahead of the physicist's 140th birthday.

今天，該大學(xué)宣布獲得了這些缺失的手稿，并感謝皇冠古德曼基金會(huì)在該物理學(xué)家第一百四十歲生日之前捐贈(zèng)。

It was bought from Gary Berger, a North Carolina doctor who had a privatecollection of Einstein's writings.

它是從加里·伯杰那里買來的，他是北卡羅來納州的一名醫(yī)生，以私人身份收藏了愛因斯坦的著作。

'These papers reflect the way Einstein was thinking, the way Einstein wasworking. Most of them, in his handwriting, are mathematical calculations withvery little text,' said Professor Hanoch Gutfreund, academic adviser to thearchives.

這些手稿反映了愛因斯坦的思維方式，愛因斯坦的工作方式。檔案館的學(xué)術(shù)顧問古特弗倫德（hanoch gutfreund）教授說，手稿中的大多數(shù)都是數(shù)學(xué)計(jì)算，文字很少。

Einstein, who won the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics, settled in the UnitedStates after renouncing his German citizenship when Hitler came to power.

1921年獲得諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng)的愛因斯坦，在希特勒上臺(tái)后放棄了德國國籍，定居美國。

After his death in 1955, he left most of his scientific and personal writingsto Hebrew University, who said that the new selection is 'magnificent'.

1955年他去世后，他把大部分科學(xué)和個(gè)人著作留給了希伯來大學(xué)，希伯來大學(xué)說，新的手稿部分是“偉大的”。?

An astonishing letter has emerged of how Albert Einstein attempted to console afriend whose wife had just died.

阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦試圖安慰一位妻子剛剛?cè)ナ赖呐笥?，這封信出人意料。

The renowned scientist assured him that the passage of time felt by humans isnot real and 'now is an illusion'.

這位著名的科學(xué)家向他保證，人類感受到的時(shí)間流逝不是真實(shí)的，“現(xiàn)在是一種幻覺”。

The letter from Einstein, then living in the US was to French physicist ElieCartan whose wife Marie-Louise died in 1950.

這是當(dāng)時(shí)居住在美國的愛因斯坦寫給法國物理學(xué)家伊萊·卡坦的信，她的妻子瑪麗·路易絲于1950年去世。

Einstein wrote on hearing of her death: 'Dear Mr Cartan, I felt very stronglywith you when I received notice of the great loss you have suffered recently.

愛因斯坦在聽到她去世的消息時(shí)寫道：“親愛的卡坦先生，當(dāng)我收到你最近承受的巨大失落的通知時(shí)，我對(duì)你感同身受。

'In these trying situations one feels stronger than ordinarily how difficult itis for a human being to hold fast to the notion - so inescapable to a physicist- that the Now is an illusion, not something pertaining to reality.'?

“在這些困難的情況下，一個(gè)人比平常感覺更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，一個(gè)人要牢牢抓住這個(gè)概念是多么困難——物理學(xué)家是無法逃避的——以至于現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)幻覺，而不是與現(xiàn)實(shí)有關(guān)的東西。”

The letter was digitised by web giant Google yesterday. Further letters werealso released by Israel's Hebrew University, including a letter to his lifelongfriend Michele Besso.?

這封信昨天被網(wǎng)絡(luò)巨頭谷歌數(shù)字化了。以色列希伯來大學(xué)還發(fā)布了更多的信件，其中包括給他畢生的朋友米歇爾貝索的一封信。

In it, Einstein said he felt 'ashamed' for never bothering to learn Hebrewdespite being treated as a 'Jewish saint'.

在信中，愛因斯坦說，盡管他被視為“猶太圣人”，但他對(duì)自己從不費(fèi)心學(xué)習(xí)希伯來語感到“羞愧”。

Professor Hanoch Gutfreund, the Einstein archive's at Israel's HebrewUniversity said said: 'For historians of science, it is very important to havemanuscripts, because then one sees that he crossed out something, that hechanged something, and it is interesting to see how he actually worked.'?

以色列希伯來大學(xué)愛因斯坦檔案館的漢諾克·古特弗倫德教授說：“對(duì)于科學(xué)歷史學(xué)家來說，手稿是非常重要的，因?yàn)槿藗兛吹剿麆澋袅艘恍〇|西，他改變了一些東西，看到他是如何工作的很有趣?！惫盘馗惖陆淌谡f，愛因斯坦的四封私人信件中的每一封都是珍寶。?

Each of the four personal letters from Einstein 'is a gem,' Professor Gutfreundsaid.
Mr Besso, a Swiss-Italian engineer of Jewish descent, was baptised a Christianbut also learned the Hebrew language.

貝索先生是一名瑞士-意大利猶太裔工程師，他接受了基督徒的洗禮，但也學(xué)會(huì)了希伯來語。

This determined that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time, which isfelt as gravity.

這就決定了巨大的物體在時(shí)空中會(huì)產(chǎn)生一種扭曲，這種扭曲被認(rèn)為是引力。

At its simplest, it can be thought of as a giant rubber sheet with a bowlingball in the centre.
As the ball warps the sheet, a planet bends the fabric of space-time, creatingthe force that we feel as gravity.
Any object that comes near to the body falls towards it because of the effect.
Einstein predicted that if two massive bodies came together it would createsuch a huge ripple in space time that it should be detectable on Earth.

任何靠近一個(gè)物體的東西都會(huì)因?yàn)檫@種效應(yīng)而朝著該物體墜落。愛因斯坦預(yù)言，如果兩個(gè)巨大的物體結(jié)合在一起，它會(huì)在時(shí)空中產(chǎn)生巨大的漣漪，在地球上應(yīng)該可以檢測(cè)到。?

It was most recently demonstrated in the hit film film Interstellar.

最近在熱門電影《星際》中對(duì)其有所展示。

In a segment that saw the crew visit a planet which fell within thegravitational grasp of a huge black hole, the event caused time to slow downmassively.

在一段時(shí)間里，船員們觀測(cè)了一顆落在巨大黑洞引力控制范圍內(nèi)的行星，這一事件導(dǎo)致時(shí)間大大減慢。

Crew members on the planet barely aged while those on the ship were decadesolder on their return.

行星上的船員幾乎不老，而船上的船員在返航時(shí)卻老了幾十歲。

If he ignored Santa Claus then it's obvious why he never fully understood lightparticles or quantum physics for that matter or anti-matter ; - )

如果他忽視了圣誕老人，那么很明顯，就能理解為什么他從來沒有完全理解光子，量子物理中的物質(zhì)或反物質(zhì)哈哈?
