What is the intersection between technology, art and science? Curiosity and wonder, because it drives us to explore, because we're surrounded by things we can't see. And I love to use film to take us on a journey through portals of time and space, to make the invisible visible, because what that does, it expands our horizons, it transforms our perception, it opens our minds and it touches our heart. So here are some scenes from my 3D IMAX film, "Mysteries of the Unseen World."
Gde se ukrštaju tehnologija, umetnost i nauka? U radoznalosti i čudu, jer to nas pokreće da istražujemo, jer smo okruženi stvarima koje ne možemo da vidimo. Volim da koristim film da bih nas poveo na putovanje kroz kapije vremena i prostora, da bih nevidljivo učinio vidljivim, jer to proširuje naše horizonte, transformiše naše opažanje, otvara naše umove i dodiruje naša srca. Evo nekih scena iz mog 3D IMAX filma

"Misterije nevidljivog sveta".
There is movement which is too slow for our eyes to detect,
(Muzika)
and time lapse makes us discover and broaden our perspective of life. We can see how organisms emerge and grow, how a vine survives by creeping from the forest floor to look at the sunlight. And at the grand scale, time lapse allows us to see our planet in motion. We can view not only the vast sweep of nature, but the restless movement of humanity. Each streaking dot represents a passenger plane, and by turning air traffic data into time-lapse imagery, we can see something that's above us constantly but invisible: the vast network of air travel over the United States. We can do the same thing with ships at sea. We can turn data into a time-lapse view of a global economy in motion. And decades of data give us the view of our entire planet as a single organism sustained by currents circulating throughout the oceans and by clouds swirling through the atmosphere, pulsing with lightning, crowned by the aurora Borealis. It may be the ultimate time-lapse image: the anatomy of Earth brought to life.
Postoji pokret koji je suviše spor da bi ga naše oči detektovale, i pomoću "time lapse" fotografije otkrivamo i proširujemo naš pogled na svet. Možemo videti kako organizmi niču i rastu, kako puzavica preživljava puzeći sa šumskog tla da bi ugledala sunčevu svetlost. A na širokom planu, pomoću "time lapse" tehnologije vidimo našu planetu u pokretu. Pored ogromnog zamaha prirode vidimo i neprestano kretanje čovečanstva. Svaka tačka koja se kreće predstavlja putnički avion, i pretvaranjem podataka o avio saobraćaju u "time lapse" slike možemo videti nešto što je stalno iznad nas, ali nevidljivo: ogromnu mrežu avio saobraćaja iznad SAD. Možemo to isto da uradimo i sa brodovima na moru. Možemo da pretvorimo podatke u "time lapse" sliku globalne ekonomije u pokretu. Decenije podataka daju nam sliku cele planete kao jednog organizma koga hrane struje koje kruže okeanima i oblaci koji kovitlaju kroz atmosferu pulsirajući i svetleći, krunisani aurorom borealis. To bi mogla biti konačna "time lapse" fotografija: oživljena anatomija Zemlje.
At the other extreme, there are things that move too fast for our eyes, but we have technology that can look into that world as well. With high-speed cameras, we can do the opposite of time lapse. We can shoot images that are thousands of times faster than our vision. And we can see how nature's ingenious devices work, and perhaps we can even imitate them. When a dragonfly flutters by, you may not realize, but it's the greatest flier in nature. It can hover, fly backwards, even upside down. And by tracking markers on an insect's wings, we can visualize the air flow that they produce. Nobody knew the secret, but high speed shows that a dragonfly can move all four wings in different directions at the same time. And what we learn can lead us to new kinds of robotic flyers that can expand our vision of important and remote places.
U drugoj krajnosti su stvari koje se kreću suviše brzo za naše oči, ali imamo tehnologiju koja može da pogleda i u taj svet. Sa kamerama velike brzine možemo da uradimo suprotno od "time lapse"-a. Možemo da snimamo prizore koji su hiljadama puta brži od našeg vida. I možemo da vidimo kako rade genijalne prirodne mašine, i možda čak da ih imitiramo. Kad proleti vilin konjic, možda ne primetite, ali on je najbolji letač u prirodi. On može da lebdi, da leti unazad i čak i naglavačke. Prateći markere na krilima insekta možemo da predstavimo protok vazduha koji proizvodi. Niko ne zna njihovu tajnu, ali kamere velike brzine pokazuju da vilin konjic može da pokreće sva četiri krila u različitim pravcima u isto vreme. Ono što naučimo može da nas odvede do novih vrsta robotskih letača, koji mogu da prošire naš vid do važnih i udaljenih mesta.
We're giants, and we're unaware of things that are too small for us to see. The electron microscope fires electrons which creates images which can magnify things by as much as a million times. This is the egg of a butterfly. And there are unseen creatures living all over your body, including mites that spend their entire lives dwelling on your eyelashes, crawling over your skin at night. Can you guess what this is? Shark skin. A caterpillar's mouth. The eye of a fruit fly. An eggshell. A flea. A snail's tongue. We think we know most of the animal kingdom, but there may be millions of tiny species waiting to be discovered.
Mi smo džinovi i nismo svesni onih stvari koje su premale da bismo ih videli. Elektronski mikroskop ispaljuje elektrone koji stvaraju slike koje mogu biti uvećane i do milion puta. Ovo je jaje leptira. Postoje nevidljiva stvorenja koja žive po celom vašem telu, uključujući grinje, koje provode ceo život na vašim trepavicama, i gamižu noću po vašoj koži. Možete li da pogodite šta je ovo? Koža ajkule. Usta gusenice. Oko vinske mušice. Ljuska jajeta. Buva. Jezik puža. Mislimo da poznajemo većinu životinjskog sveta, ali možda postoje milioni malih vrsta koje čekaju da se otkriju.
A spider also has great secrets, because spiders' silk thread is pound for pound stronger than steel but completely elastic. This journey will take us all the way down to the nano world. The silk is 100 times thinner than human hair. On there is bacteria, and near that bacteria, 10 times smaller, a virus. Inside of that, 10 times smaller, three strands of DNA. And nearing the limit of our most powerful microscopes, single carbon atoms.
I pauk ima velike tajne, jer paukova mreža je proporcionalno čvršća od čelika, ali je potpuno elastična. Ovo putovanje će nas odvesti dalje do nano sveta. Svila je 100 puta tanja od ljudske kose. Na njoj je bakterija, a pored te bakterije, 10 puta manji, virus. Unutar njega, 10 puta manje, tri niti DNK, i približavajući se granici naših najmoćnijih mikroskopa, pojedinačni atomi ugljenika.
With the tip of a powerful microscope, we can actually move atoms and begin to create amazing nano devices. Some could one day patrol our body for all kinds of diseases and clean out clogged arteries along the way. Tiny chemical machines of the future can one day, perhaps, repair DNA. We are on the threshold of extraordinary advances, born of our drive to unveil the mysteries of life.
Vrhom moćnog mikroskopa možemo da pomeramo atome i stvaramo neverovatne nano uređaje. Neki bi jednog dana mogli da patroliraju našim telom i otkrivaju razne bolesti i pročišćavaju zapušene arterije na svom putu. Majušne hemijske mašine budućnosti bi jednog dana možda mogle da popravljaju DNK. Na pragu smo izvanrednih napredaka, rođenih iz našeg poriva da otkrijemo misterije života.
So under an endless rain of cosmic dust, the air is full of pollen, micro-diamonds and jewels from other planets and supernova explosions. People go about their lives surrounded by the unseeable. Knowing that there's so much around us we can't see forever changes our understanding of the world, and by looking at unseen worlds, we recognize that we exist in the living universe, and this new perspective creates wonder and inspires us to become explorers in our own backyards.
Pod neprekidnom kišom kosmičke prašine vazduh je pun polena, mikrodijamanata i dragulja sa drugih planeta i eksplozija supernova. Ljudi žive svoje živote okruženi nevidljivim. Saznanje da da ima toliko toga oko nas što možemo da vidimo zauvek menja naše shvatanje sveta i gledanjem neviđenih svetova prepoznajemo da živimo u živom svemiru i ova nova perspektiva stvara čudo i inspiriše nas da postanemo istraživači u sopstvenom dvorištu.
Who knows what awaits to be seen and what new wonders will transform our lives.
Ko zna šta još čeka da bude viđeno i koja će nova čuda transformisati naše živote.
We'll just have to see.
To ćemo tek morati da otkrijemo.
