【分享】倒霉的物理

It states, “Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line…”
该定律指出：“正常情况下，身体会保持静止状态，或做匀速直线运动，…”

“…unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.”
“…除非有外力加诸其上，迫使其改变状态。”

Based on supercomplicated physical observations, Einstein concluded that two objects may perceive time differently.
基于超级复杂的物理研究，爱因斯坦得出结论，认为两个不同物体对时间的感知可能有所不同。

Based on simple life experience, I have concluded that this is true.
基于生活的简单经验，我确定这理论是真的。

Newton’s Cradle shows how energy travels through a series of objects.
牛顿摆试验显示了能量是如何通过一系列物体来进行传递的。

In our particular arrangement, kinetic energy is ultimately converted into a compression of the forehead.
在我们的精心编排下，动能最终转化为我额头上挤出来的皱纹。

The forehead can be uncrumpled by a downward movement of the jaw.
通过下巴向下的运动，前额可以平复如初。

Excessive mechanical strain will compromise the elasticity of most materials, though.
但过度的机械应力会损害大多数材料的弹性。

The human body functions like a combustion engine. To produce energy, we need two things:
人体就像一台内燃机。为了产生能量，我们需要两件东西：

– Oxygen, supplied through the nostrils (once the toy car is removed, that is).
- 氧气，通过鼻孔提供（在没有被玩具车堵住的时候）。

– Carbohydrates, which come in various forms (vanilla, chocolate, dulce de leche).
– 碳水化合物，以各种形式被摄取（香草口味，巧克力口味，法式口味）。

By the by: I had an idea for a carb-neutral ice cream.
OK，我想出了一个关于零增肥冰淇淋的主意。

All you need is to freeze a pint of ice cream to -3706 F.
你只需要把一品脱冰淇淋冻到零下3706华氏度。

The energy it will take your system to bring the ice cream up to a digestible temperature is roughly 1,000 calories, neatly burning away all those carbohydrates from the fat and sugar.
这样一来，你把它恢复到可吃的温度所花费的能量，大约是1000卡路里，正好可以抵消掉这些冰淇淋中的脂肪和糖所含的碳水化合物。

The only snag is the Third Law of Thermodynamics, which says it’s impossible to go below -459 F.
唯一的问题是，根据热力学第三定律，温度不可能低于零下459华氏度。

Bummer.
倒霉。

But back to Newton: he discovered that any two objects in the universe attract each other, and that this force is proportional to their mass.
还是回到牛顿吧：他发现，在宇宙中任何两个物体都会相互吸引，而且这股引力和它们的质量成正比。

The Earth is heavier than the Moon, and therefore attracts our bodies with a much greater force.
地球比月亮更重，因此对我们身体的引力更大。
