<i>Timing and Subtitles by the </i>
🦃 <i>Turkeys in the Dark Forest</i> 🌲<i> Team @ Viki.com</i>
2
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.920
You…
3
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.310
How long have you been married?
4
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:29.000
Eight years now.
5
00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:32.210
How old is your child?
6
00:01:32.210 --> 00:01:33.830
Seven.
7
00:01:40.150 --> 00:01:45.350
I bought this house in preparation for marriage.
8
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.120
I thought she'd actually start a family with me.
9
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:54.892
Yang Dong.
10
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:02.620
She was like a star in the sky, which was far, far away from you.
11
00:02:04.580 --> 00:02:08.220
Even the light it shed on you felt cold.
12
00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:16.192
This afternoon, after you left,
13
00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:19.910
people from the Battle Command Center talked to me in private.
14
00:02:19.910 --> 00:02:22.830
They wanted me to join the Frontiers of Science.
15
00:02:24.710 --> 00:02:28.430
Well, you didn't agree, right?
16
00:02:28.430 --> 00:02:29.900
No.
17
00:02:30.430 --> 00:02:32.130
Right!
18
00:02:32.130 --> 00:02:33.630
Your choice's quite right!
19
00:02:33.630 --> 00:02:38.870
Let me tell you something. They're just a bunch of arrogant idiots!
20
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.040
They seem to have done some digging.
21
00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:47.094
Yes. Worldwide digging.
22
00:02:47.094 --> 00:02:52.420
So they should know that there are two people that have nothing to do with the Frontiers of Science at all.
23
00:02:53.470 --> 00:02:57.770
And Yang Dong... was one of them.
24
00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:29.300
<i>[Three-Body]</i>
25
00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:32.360
<i>[Episode 2]</i>
26
00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:40.700
Dr. Ding,
27
00:04:41.610 --> 00:04:44.527
why did Yang Dong make a choice like that?
28
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.529
Because physics doesn't exist anymore.
29
00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:52.150
If physics didn't exist anymore,
30
00:04:52.150 --> 00:04:56.950
and you release your hold right now, this book would fly into the sky instead of falling to the floor.
31
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.300
You're right.
32
00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:07.690
If physics didn't exist anymore, Schrodinger wouldn't have been on the floor.
33
00:05:07.690 --> 00:05:10.950
He would've been… in the sky.
34
00:05:10.950 --> 00:05:14.750
So, Einstein wouldn't have been on the floor either.
35
00:05:14.750 --> 00:05:17.250
Newton wouldn't have been on the floor either.
36
00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:21.000
None of these people would've been on the floor.
37
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.620
They would've all been floating in the sky.
38
00:05:29.070 --> 00:05:31.110
They're all on the floor now.
39
00:05:31.110 --> 00:05:33.060
Do you know how to play this?
40
00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:34.890
A little.
41
00:05:34.890 --> 00:05:37.664
Yang Dong and I loved it
42
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.072
because it reminded us of the collision in a particle collider.
43
00:05:45.870 --> 00:05:47.710
Help me clean this.
44
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:55.430
You may toss them wherever you want. It's okay.
45
00:05:55.430 --> 00:05:57.290
No need. It's okay. You don't have to stack them up.
46
00:05:57.290 --> 00:05:59.578
Just toss them away.
47
00:06:23.170 --> 00:06:25.210
Can you hit it into the hole?
48
00:06:26.310 --> 00:06:28.470
I think any normal person can do it.
49
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.968
Let's rotate it 90 degrees.
50
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:49.800
All right.
51
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.740
Okay. This will do.
52
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.320
Dr. Ding, what are we doing?
53
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.060
Do it again.
54
00:07:49.510 --> 00:07:53.750
Okay, now the experiments are over. Let's analyze the results.
55
00:07:53.750 --> 00:07:57.040
We conducted five collision experiments in total, right?
56
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.570
The first four took place in different positions at different times,
57
00:08:00.570 --> 00:08:04.780
and the fifth one happened in the same position as the first one, but at a different time,
58
00:08:04.780 --> 00:08:08.010
so you're not surprised by this outcome, right?
59
00:08:08.730 --> 00:08:11.630
All five collision experiments generated the same result.
60
00:08:11.630 --> 00:08:13.450
What do you mean?
61
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:22.596
I… I'd like you to explain this outcome with the language of physics.
62
00:08:22.596 --> 00:08:24.874
Language of physics.
63
00:08:30.070 --> 00:08:38.150
In the five previous experiments, there was no change whatsoever in the mass of the two balls.
64
00:08:38.150 --> 00:08:42.960
Their relative positions, if using the pool table as a reference frame, never changed either.
65
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:47.230
The velocity vector at which the white ball hit the black one hardly changed,
66
00:08:47.230 --> 00:08:51.370
which caused the momentum exchange generated by the collision between the balls to remain unchanged as well.
67
00:08:51.370 --> 00:08:54.700
That's the reason the black ball went into the hole every time it got hit.
68
00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:58.078
So now you've discovered a great law.
69
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.869
the laws of physics are even in terms of time and space.
70
00:09:01.869 --> 00:09:04.650
From the start of human history until now, all the discoveries made in the field of physics,
71
00:09:04.650 --> 00:09:10.460
such as Archimedes' principle, the string theory, every single one of those things is based on this law.
72
00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:12.200
You know what I mean?
73
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.400
I understand your words, but I don't know what you're trying to convey.
74
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.228
Do you dare to imagine...
75
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.624
another result?
76
00:09:25.510 --> 00:09:29.722
<i>In the first experiment, the black ball was hit into the hole.</i>
77
00:09:29.722 --> 00:09:34.408
<i>In the second one, well, the black ball went off track.</i>
78
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.804
<i>In the third one, the black ball flew into mid-air.</i>
79
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:48.110
<i>In the fourth one, the black ball, like a scared sparrow, flew around in the room.</i>
80
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:56.030
<i>And then in the fifth one, at nearly the speed of light, it flew off this table,</i>
81
00:09:56.030 --> 00:10:00.620
<i>penetrated through the wall, broke free from Earth's gravity, and shot straight out of the solar system.</i>
82
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.440
<i>Just like what Asimov depicts in his sci-fi novels.</i>
83
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:23.328
If the results of the experiments were like that,
84
00:10:23.800 --> 00:10:27.650
what… what would you think?
85
00:10:33.730 --> 00:10:36.390
You and Yang Dong both liked playing pool...
86
00:10:41.270 --> 00:10:45.766
because it reminded you of the collision in a particle collider.
87
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.400
<i>So this kind of thing really did happen?</i>
88
00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:52.598
In Yang Dong's lab?
89
00:10:54.030 --> 00:10:56.930
<i>The first data, recorded at 9:07.</i>
90
00:10:56.930 --> 00:10:59.796
<i>The second data, recorded at 10:22.</i>
91
00:10:59.796 --> 00:11:01.790
<i>The third data, recorded at 10:50.</i>
92
00:11:01.790 --> 00:11:03.990
<i>They're all inconsistent.</i>
93
00:11:03.990 --> 00:11:06.960
<i>They're also inconsistent with the calculation results.</i>
94
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.180
<i>The experiment failed.</i>
95
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.440
It happened.
96
00:11:13.150 --> 00:11:15.240
But that was always part of the experiment.
97
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.000
<i>In terms of experiment, that was quite normal.</i>
98
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.140
<i>Yeah. In terms of experiments, abnormal data is a normal thing, right?</i>
99
00:11:20.140 --> 00:11:21.220
<i>But this time, things are different.</i>
100
00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:22.790
<i>Let's get back to pool.</i>
101
00:11:22.790 --> 00:11:26.630
<i>So, if in the fourth experiment, the black ball flew all around like a sparrow,</i>
102
00:11:26.630 --> 00:11:29.111
<i>and in the fifth one it flew out of the solar system,</i>
103
00:11:29.111 --> 00:11:34.140
<i>if I need you to verify that kind of results, would you be able to do it with deduction?</i>
104
00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:37.040
I specialize in applied physics, so I don't know much about this kind of stuff,
105
00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:39.990
but I think that's very unlikely.
106
00:11:42.550 --> 00:11:45.170
<i>These are the faxes you sent to the victim.</i>
107
00:11:48.510 --> 00:11:50.718
<i>You sent all these?</i>
108
00:11:55.170 --> 00:11:57.070
<i>What's wrong?</i>
109
00:12:00.390 --> 00:12:01.200
<i>Is your girlfriend okay?</i>
110
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.040
<i>What's going on exactly?</i>
111
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.960
<i>What's the matter?</i>
112
00:12:06.550 --> 00:12:07.390
<i>Look at this.</i>
113
00:12:07.390 --> 00:12:08.390
<i>Experiment results.</i>
114
00:12:08.390 --> 00:12:10.790
<i>No. The time.
[ Sunday, August 02, 2006; 09:00:00 ]</i>
115
00:12:10.790 --> 00:12:12.080
<i>The time.
[ Sunday, August 02, 2006; 09:50:53 ]</i>
116
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.220
<i>This can't be happening.</i>
117
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.060
<i>Nine o'clock... Nine o'clock.</i>
118
00:12:17.060 --> 00:12:18.360
<i>It couldn't have been nine.</i>
119
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.260
<i>Impossible.</i>
120
00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:22.840
<i>The data, which was the same as Yang Dong's,</i>
121
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:27.260
<i>had been delivered to Professor Munphy while her experiment was still ongoing.</i>
122
00:12:27.260 --> 00:12:29.120
No way.
123
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.650
According to our known knowledge of physics, that's absolutely impossible.
124
00:12:33.650 --> 00:12:38.440
We think it's impossible because right now we still believe in physics.
125
00:12:39.510 --> 00:12:41.650
Yang Dong expounded and proved it.
126
00:12:44.270 --> 00:12:46.378
I don't know either.
127
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.720
I want to find out as well.
128
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.960
If this is true, then… the evenness of time and space
129
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.876
that laws of physics are based on will be
130
00:12:54.876 --> 00:12:57.790
non-existent, which means…
131
00:12:57.790 --> 00:13:00.620
Which means physics doesn't exist anymore.
132
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:10.440
This will be a catastrophe for the research of cutting-edge theory.
133
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:17.150
So, to make an achievement in theoretical physics, you need an unswerving religious belief.
134
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:23.330
That's why there are people believing the hypothesis about the shooter and the farmer.
135
00:13:26.930 --> 00:13:29.550
The shooter and the farmer.
136
00:13:29.550 --> 00:13:32.150
That's the theory of the Frontiers of Science.
137
00:13:33.390 --> 00:13:36.080
Yeah. Anyway, those theories which cannot be proved right
138
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.970
and cannot be proved wrong either are actually, to put it bluntly…
139
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.780
You know, they give people hope.
140
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.224
But sometimes this kind of hope might drive people
141
00:13:49.630 --> 00:13:52.506
to their doom.
142
00:13:55.790 --> 00:13:58.194
<i>I always felt that</i>
143
00:13:58.910 --> 00:14:00.950
I was about to win her heart.
144
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:07.079
<i>Maybe, if you accept my proposal, the experiment will go well.</i>
145
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.500
<i>The experiment failed.</i>
146
00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:12.210
<i>Then do some extra ones.</i>
147
00:14:19.790 --> 00:14:22.110
But maybe I was wrong.
148
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.340
<i>The data, which was the same as Yang Dong's,</i>
149
00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:57.830
<i>had been delivered to Professor Murphy when her experiment was still ongoing.</i>
150
00:14:57.830 --> 00:14:58.740
<i>No way.</i>
151
00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:00.810
<i>According to our known knowledge of physics, that's absolutely impossible.</i>
152
00:15:00.810 --> 00:15:06.100
<i>We think it's impossible, because right now we still believe in physics.</i>
153

Hi.
170
00:17:32.790 --> 00:17:36.198
Welcome back to the Frontiers of Science.
171
00:17:36.198 --> 00:17:37.480
Sorry to disturb you.
172
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.590
No.
173
00:17:38.590 --> 00:17:41.882
I'm very happy you called.
174
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.100
You want me to join the Frontiers of Science?
175
00:17:44.100 --> 00:17:48.292
I want everybody to join us, and get to know us.
176
00:17:53.510 --> 00:18:00.250
I still can't fully accept your theory... though it sounds fascinating.
177
00:18:00.250 --> 00:18:07.099
Anything, when you begin to doubt it and want to break through it, becomes the most fascinating.
178
00:18:07.099 --> 00:18:09.680
That's why our organization is named Frontiers of Science.
179
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:14.780
In this area, owning such a large manor house, the owner must be no ordinary person.
180
00:18:14.780 --> 00:18:17.070
This is a private residence of one of our members.
181
00:18:17.070 --> 00:18:20.358
It was offered to us for communication.

<i>Professor Wang?</i>

That member specializes in quantum entanglement, right?
185
00:18:54.350 --> 00:18:56.150
Yes, it is.
186
00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:08.940
<i>Welcome, friends visiting the Frontiers of Science for the first time.</i>
187
00:19:14.170 --> 00:19:17.474
And welcome back, Professor Wang Miao.
188
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.830
Professor Wang participated in some of our previous discussions.
189
00:19:25.830 --> 00:19:31.540
So, next, I'd like you to tell everybody what our research is about.
<i> [Frontiers of Science]</i>
190
00:19:31.540 --> 00:19:35.196
I think it's the shooter hypothesis and the farmer hypothesis.
191
00:19:36.750 --> 00:19:43.050
<i>Assuming that a marksman leaves bullet holes on a target at intervals of 10 centimeters,</i>
192
00:19:43.510 --> 00:19:48.400
<i>then suppose that on this target resides a kind of two-dimensional intelligent species.</i>
193
00:19:51.690 --> 00:19:59.010
<i>Their scientists, after observing their universe, discovered a great law.</i>
194
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.980
<i>Each time they travel 10 centimeters, they're guaranteed to find a hole.<i></i></i>
195
00:20:07.590 --> 00:20:16.710
<i>They mistake what the shooter did on a whim as an unchanging law of their universe.</i>
196
00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:23.550
In the eyes of those two-dimensional creatures,
197
00:20:23.550 --> 00:20:28.930
the holes made at intervals of 10 centimeters might be the greatest wonder in their world.
198
00:20:28.930 --> 00:20:31.300
Maybe they're planning on adventuring.
199
00:20:31.300 --> 00:20:32.820
Maybe they're even researching surveying equipment,
200
00:20:32.820 --> 00:20:37.640
trying to find out which material can help them explore in a more efficient and safer way.
201
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:39.840
Maybe it's nano-material.
202
00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:43.300
There's also a farmer hypothesis.
203
00:20:43.300 --> 00:20:46.846
<i>There is a flock of turkeys on a farm.</i>
204
00:20:48.350 --> 00:20:53.362
<i>Every day the farmer feeds them at 11 AM.</i>
205
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.789
<i>One of the turkeys, a scientist, observes the phenomenon.</i>
206
00:20:59.790 --> 00:21:03.942
<i>It observes for almost a year, and there haven't been any exceptions,</i>
207
00:21:03.942 --> 00:21:09.069
<i>so it also announces a great law of their universe.</i>
208
00:21:09.070 --> 00:21:13.714
<i>Food arrives at 11 AM every day.</i>
209
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:19.012
<i>One day, when it's 11 o'clock, the farmer shows up again,</i>
210
00:21:19.012 --> 00:21:22.558
<i>but it's Thanksgiving Day.</i>
211
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.596
<i>Food doesn't come.</i>
212
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.400
<i>The farmer walks inside,</i>
213
00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:37.450
takes them all and slaughters them.
214
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:44.016
We might be like the two-dimensional scientist on that target...
215
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.420
<i>or the turkey scientist on the farm.</i>
216
00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:54.199
If, in this world, there is indeed a kind of supernatural power,
217
00:21:54.199 --> 00:21:55.600
the shooter,
218
00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:59.550
<i>then the regularity that the shooter knows is the truth.</i>
219
00:21:59.550 --> 00:22:03.680
<i>Newton's classical mechanics is totally useless in the micro-world,</i>
220
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:08.450
and Einstein's theory of relativity, when applied to the quantum world, raises even more problems.
221
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.536
If science has frontiers,
222
00:22:12.536 --> 00:22:16.479
<i>then what we're about to touch is very likely to be the frontiers.</i>
223
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.590
The "truth" that those two-dimensional creatures find is not the truth,
224
00:22:19.590 --> 00:22:24.030
because in their world, they can never find the truth.
225
00:22:24.030 --> 00:22:26.090
<i>Their science...</i>
226
00:22:27.310 --> 00:22:29.210
has frontiers.
227
00:22:29.930 --> 00:22:32.210
Then what's beyond the frontiers?
228
00:22:32.210 --> 00:22:35.260
What regularities do the shooter and the farmer know?
229
00:22:35.260 --> 00:22:39.688
Personally, this is not just science.
230
00:22:39.688 --> 00:22:42.108
<i>It's more like a ritual.</i>
231
00:22:43.110 --> 00:22:47.790
A ritual of infinite exploration of the frontiers of science.
232
00:22:47.790 --> 00:22:49.790
But what's the point of all this?
233
00:22:49.790 --> 00:22:51.350
State your opinions.
234
00:22:51.350 --> 00:22:53.962
I have no impressive opinions.
235
00:22:53.962 --> 00:22:57.709
Every one of you know more about theories than I do,
236
00:22:57.709 --> 00:23:03.874
but I think today's discussion serves only to make scientists vulnerable.
237
00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:06.350
In my eyes,
238
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.000
there's no way whatsoever to authenticate these hypotheses.
239
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.960
But if those two-dimensional creatures and the turkeys on the farm
240
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.400
<i>find out everything but are powerless to make any difference,</i>
241
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.160
<i>how despairing will they be?</i>
242
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.280
Actually, your current attitude proves that
243
00:23:22.280 --> 00:23:24.550
no matter whether you're willing to admit it or not,
244
00:23:24.550 --> 00:23:26.030
you've come to believe this hypothesis.
245
00:23:26.030 --> 00:23:30.690
Even if I believe it, I will not accept that I'm a turkey scientist.
246
00:23:30.690 --> 00:23:36.840
Previous to this, maybe you've never thought that you might be a turkey scientist.
247
00:23:36.840 --> 00:23:40.020
I will not accept I'm a turkey scientist.
248
00:23:50.590 --> 00:23:52.458
Dr. Shen,
249
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:55.280
