在我的成长过程中,我看了1968年的电影《十种力量》。镜头从一对野餐情侣开始,然后缩小:野餐场地(101米),芝加哥(105米),地球(107米),最终是宇宙(1026米),最后是放大,直到它到达一个质子的内部(10−16米)。在每个尺度上都出现了令人惊叹的结构。我意识到,如果有一天,我能拿着那个神奇的相机--以一个新的尺度研究一个现象--无论多么短暂--我会看到以前没有见过的东西。
Growing up, I watched the 1968 filmPowers of Ten. The camera begins with a couple on a picnic and then zooms out: to the picnic ground (101meters), Chicago (105m), Earth (107m), and, eventually, the universe (1026m), only to zoom back in until it reaches the interior of a proton (10−16m). Breathtaking structures emerge at each scale. I realized that if, one day, I could hold that magical camera—examining a phenomenon at a new scale, however briefly—I would see things that had not been seen before.
