1
00:00:00,926 --> 00:00:03,446
我哋而家喺人類歷史嘅轉捩點

2
00:00:03,446 --> 00:00:06,332
人類處於得到新星球
同失去舊星球之間

3
00:00:06,332 --> 00:00:09,332
失去嘅舊星球就係我哋稱為家嘅地球

4
00:00:09,332 --> 00:00:11,262
就算只係過去幾年

5
00:00:11,262 --> 00:00:15,632
我哋對地球喺宇宙扮演
咩角色嘅知識都增長咗唔少

6
00:00:16,592 --> 00:00:18,500
美國太空總處嘅開普勒任務

7
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:21,930
發現有成千上萬個類似地球嘅行星
圍繞住其他恆星運行

8
00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:26,273
證明地球只係銀河系
數以千萬宜居行星嘅其中一個

9
00:00:26,273 --> 00:00:27,973
開普勒係一台太空望遠鏡

10
00:00:27,973 --> 00:00:29,850
當星體喺恆星前面經過

11
00:00:29,850 --> 00:00:31,637
會輕微阻擋恆星嘅光線

12
00:00:31,637 --> 00:00:33,204
令恆星睇起嚟暗啲

13
00:00:33,204 --> 00:00:35,762
開普勒就係量度呢啲稍為暗淡嘅光線

14
00:00:35,762 --> 00:00:38,332
開普勒嘅數據可以推算到星體嘅體積

15
00:00:38,332 --> 00:00:40,798
同埋佢哋同母恆星之間嘅距離

16
00:00:40,798 --> 00:00:43,613
呢兩樣都有助我哋了解星體

17
00:00:43,613 --> 00:00:47,713
係唔係好似太陽系類地行星咁
體積小而且佈滿岩石

18
00:00:47,713 --> 00:00:51,079
以及佢哋從母恆星吸收幾多光

19
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:52,247
縱合上述結果

20
00:00:52,247 --> 00:00:56,878
我哋可以知道
呢啲星球到底適唔適宜住

21
00:00:57,378 --> 00:00:58,661
但好唔好彩

22
00:00:58,661 --> 00:01:03,354
喺發現可能宜居嘅星球嘅同時

23
00:01:03,354 --> 00:01:06,834
我哋地球因為人類而逐漸衰退

24
00:01:06,834 --> 00:01:10,786
2014 年係有紀錄以嚟最熱嘅一年

25
00:01:11,226 --> 00:01:14,999
同我哋共處咗成千年嘅冰川同海冰

26
00:01:14,999 --> 00:01:17,319
將會喺幾十年之內消失

27
00:01:17,999 --> 00:01:22,785
呢種由我哋造成嘅地球環境改變

28
00:01:22,785 --> 00:01:26,093
好快就超越我哋可以控制佢哋嘅步伐

29
00:01:27,347 --> 00:01:30,922
不過我唔係氣候學家，我係天文學家

30
00:01:30,922 --> 00:01:34,432
我研究星體嘅宜居性

31
00:01:34,432 --> 00:01:37,410
我希望可以喺地球以外嘅宇宙入面

32
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:39,870
搵到有生命嘅地方

33
00:01:39,870 --> 00:01:43,042
你可以話我搵緊外星級數嘅房地產

34
00:01:43,902 --> 00:01:48,004
作為一個沉迷搜索宇宙生命嘅人

35
00:01:48,004 --> 00:01:49,244
我可以話你知

36
00:01:49,244 --> 00:01:51,601
你越係想搵一個似地球嘅星球

37
00:01:51,601 --> 00:01:54,647
你越會珍惜我哋嘅地球

38
00:01:55,027 --> 00:01:57,950
每次有新星球發現

39
00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:01,572
我哋都會將新星球
同我哋最熟悉嘅星球比較

40
00:02:01,572 --> 00:02:03,462
即我哋太陽系嘅行星

41
00:02:03,462 --> 00:02:06,904
試想一下我哋嘅鄰居，火星
細小而且滿佈岩石

42
00:02:06,904 --> 00:02:09,239
雖然佢距離太陽有啲遠

43
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:11,934
但如果火星被開普勒計劃呢類任務發現

44
00:02:11,934 --> 00:02:13,936
佢可能被人分類做宜居星球

45
00:02:13,936 --> 00:02:17,303
其實以前，火星的確有可能宜居

46
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:20,360
呢個亦係我哋深入研究火星嘅原因

47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,120
好似好奇號咁嘅火星探測器
喺火星表面行走

48
00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:27,140
尋找已知生命之源嘅線索

49
00:02:27,140 --> 00:02:29,060
而好似 MAVEN 任務一樣嘅軌道探測器

50
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:30,726
就收集火星大氣層嘅樣本

51
00:02:30,726 --> 00:02:34,578
畀我哋了解點解火星唔再宜居

52
00:02:34,578 --> 00:02:38,933
私人太空旅行公司
依架唔只提供近太空旅行

53
00:02:38,933 --> 00:02:42,444
亦可能喺將來提供火星移民服務

54
00:02:42,844 --> 00:02:47,024
但呢啲火星景色
只會令人聯想起地球嘅沙漠

55
00:02:47,024 --> 00:02:52,731
一個我哋聯想只有開拓者同邊疆嘅地方

56
00:02:52,731 --> 00:02:57,173
同地球相比，火星嘅環境係幾可怕

57
00:02:57,890 --> 00:03:02,908
諗下我哋地球尚未殖民嘅沙漠

58
00:03:02,908 --> 00:03:05,891
呢啲地方比起火星更加之宜居

59
00:03:05,891 --> 00:03:08,687
就算地球最乾、最高嘅地方

60
00:03:08,687 --> 00:03:11,287
嗰度嘅空氣都係由幾千里外嘅雨林製造

61
00:03:11,287 --> 00:03:14,434
都係甜嘅，而且充滿住氧氣

62
00:03:15,948 --> 00:03:21,318
我擔心呢種殖民火星
同其他星球嘅熱潮

63
00:03:21,318 --> 00:03:24,429
會引致長期唔好嘅後果

64
00:03:24,429 --> 00:03:26,449
就係令某啲人相信

65
00:03:26,449 --> 00:03:30,932
當我哋所知唯一宜居嘅星球
自我毀滅之後

66
00:03:30,932 --> 00:03:33,365
火星就係我哋嘅救星

67
00:03:34,055 --> 00:03:36,573
雖然我好鍾意星際探索

68
00:03:36,573 --> 00:03:38,768
但我同時好唔贊同呢個諗法

69
00:03:38,768 --> 00:03:41,451
我哋有無數個好理由去火星

70
00:03:41,451 --> 00:03:45,025
但如果有人同你講
火星係人類嘅後備星球

71
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:47,233
就同鐵達尼號嘅船長同你講

72
00:03:47,233 --> 00:03:49,924
陣間喺救生艇上面會搞派對一樣荒謬

73
00:03:49,924 --> 00:03:53,453
（笑聲）

74
00:03:53,453 --> 00:03:56,355
（掌聲）

75
00:03:56,355 --> 00:03:57,612
多謝

76
00:03:59,142 --> 00:04:04,618
星際探索同星球保護並唔係矛盾嘅

77
00:04:04,618 --> 00:04:07,640
佢哋係同一個銀仔嘅兩面︰

78
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,482
都係去了解、保護同改善將來嘅生活

79
00:04:11,982 --> 00:04:15,825
我哋呢個世界嘅極端環境
其實等如外星嘅美景

80
00:04:15,825 --> 00:04:17,726
佢哋甚至更加近我哋屋企

81
00:04:17,726 --> 00:04:19,635
如果我哋明白點樣可以

82
00:04:19,635 --> 00:04:22,105
喺地球衝突、唔適宜人住嘅環境以外

83
00:04:22,105 --> 00:04:25,495
創造同維持宜居空間

84
00:04:25,495 --> 00:04:28,772
或者，我哋可以做到環境保護

85
00:04:28,772 --> 00:04:30,401
同時又可以做到更加多

86
00:04:31,161 --> 00:04:34,936
最後，我留俾大家思考費米悖論

87
00:04:34,936 --> 00:04:39,058
好多年前，物理學家費米問︰

88
00:04:39,058 --> 00:04:42,875
宇宙已經存在咗好長時間

89
00:04:42,875 --> 00:04:45,545
而我哋相信宇宙入面有好多星球

90
00:04:45,545 --> 00:04:48,653
我哋依家應該搵到外星生物嘅證據

91
00:04:48,653 --> 00:04:50,026
咁佢哋喺邊？

92
00:04:50,676 --> 00:04:53,763
其中一個可以解答費米悖論嘅答案係

93
00:04:53,763 --> 00:04:55,966
喺外星生存嘅生物

94
00:04:55,966 --> 00:04:59,772
佢哋嘅文明已經進步到
佢哋可以住喺星際之間

95
00:04:59,772 --> 00:05:00,942
但佢哋睇唔到

96
00:05:00,942 --> 00:05:04,390
以前一直住開、孕育佢哋文明嘅星球

97
00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:05,930
有幾重要

98
00:05:06,970 --> 00:05:10,648
如果覺得星際殖民已經可以拯救到人類

99
00:05:10,648 --> 00:05:12,989
咁樣實在係狂妄自大

100
00:05:12,989 --> 00:05:18,008
但星體保護同星際探索
反而可以同時進行

101
00:05:18,508 --> 00:05:24,185
如果我哋可以將火星
呢個咁惡劣嘅星球變成宜居

102
00:05:24,185 --> 00:05:29,767
咁保護我哋宜居嘅星球
應該係更加輕易至啱

103
00:05:29,767 --> 00:05:30,686
多謝

104
00:05:30,686 --> 00:05:33,726
（掌聲）
