So, look, I don't want to spend this entire video talking nothing but trash about the sun.

所以，你看，我不想花這整個視頻只說太陽的垃圾。

It gives plants their energy, it gives us light, and it basically allows us to exist.

它給植物提供了能量，給我們帶來了光明，基本上讓我們得以存在。

If it wasn't for the sun, none of us would ever be here.

如果不是因為太陽，我們都不會在這裡。

But the sun gives, and sometimes the sun takes every so often the sun burps out deadly lasers and raise that can hurt Earth and everything living on it.

但太陽的付出，有時也會被太陽奪走，每隔一段時間，太陽就會迸發出致命的脈衝光和提高，可以傷害地球和地球上的一切生物。

And something like this kind of happened 160 years ago.

而這樣的事情在160年前就已經發生了。

Back in 18 59 on September 1st and second of that year, skies around the world lit up with majestic and beautiful auroras.

早在18 59年的9月1日和2日，全世界的天空都亮起了雄偉美麗的極光。

It was so bright at night in some places that people could read their newspapers in the dark while telegraph systems across Europe and North America where mysteriously destroyed and often gave their operators electrical shocks.

有些地方的夜晚非常明亮，人們可以在黑暗中閱讀報紙，而整個歐洲和北美的電報系統卻被神祕地破壞了，並經常給他們的操作員帶來電擊。

But other than that the event had little effect on human civilization, and it was for gotten about by mostly everybody.

但除此之外，這個事件對人類文明的影響不大，而且是為得到了大多數人的關注。

It was only later discovered that the event was actually a cataclysmic solar storm.

後來才發現，這個事件其實是一場災難性的太陽風暴。

Now referred to mostly as the Carrington event, the event still remains the largest and the most powerful solar storm on record.

現在大多被稱為卡林頓事件，該事件仍然是有記錄以來最大、最強的太陽風暴。

And ironically, it happened to humanity before our civilization became truly vulnerable to them.

而具有諷刺意味的是，在我們的文明真正成為他們的弱點之前，人類就發生了這樣的事情。

If a storm of this magnitude hit the earth today, it would have the potential of sending us back over a century, technologically.

如果今天有一場如此巨大的風暴襲擊地球，從技術上講，它將有可能讓我們回到一個多世紀前。

But to understand how you need to understand what a solar storm actually is, they're basically whenever the sun erupts, a bunch of energy and mass out across space.

但要想了解如何理解，你需要了解太陽風暴到底是什麼，它們基本上是每當太陽噴發時，一堆能量和品質在太空中爆發。

But there's two different main ways of this happening.

但這種情況的發生主要有兩種不同的方式。

Solar flares are energetic explosions that blast out huge amounts of energy and particles across space that occasionally hit Earth.

太陽耀斑是一種能量爆炸，在太空中噴射出巨大的能量和粒子，偶爾會撞擊地球。

When our planet is in the firing range, Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field deflects most of the damage that these cause, but satellites above can still be pretty badly damaged.

當我們的星球處於發射範圍內時，地球的大氣層和磁場會轉移這些造成的大部分損害，但上面的衛星仍然會受到相當嚴重的損害。

The second way, though, is a Corona mass ejection, or CME E.

不過，第二種方式是日冕物質拋射，即CME E。

For short, particularly large CMI is like the one that caused the Carrington event could be especially damaging to modern technology.

簡而言之，特別大的CMI就像造成卡靈頓事件的CMI一樣，對現代科技的破壞力可能特別大。

Magnetized plasma from the sun erupts and carried by the solar wind shoots through space like a canister shot fired from a cannon.

來自太陽的磁化等離子體噴發，由太陽風攜帶著在太空中射出，就像大炮發射的霰彈一樣。

Most of these big ones fire off in lines that don't ever intersect with Earth.

這些大的發射線大多不會與地球相交。

But it seems like every few 100 years the line up just right where Earth's magnetic field will get overwhelmed.

但似乎每隔幾百年，地球磁場會被淹沒的地方就會出現一條線。

Consequently, these events can seriously damage all of our electrical systems and throw much of the world into darkness.

是以，這些事件會嚴重損害我們所有的電力系統，並使世界大部分地區陷入黑暗。

Fortunately for us, so far, all of these big events in our past hit the planet before we ever seriously developed our Elektronik infrastructure.

幸運的是，到目前為止，我們過去的所有這些大事件都在我們認真發展我們的Elektronik基礎設施之前擊中了這個星球。

So we never really noticed besides a few telegraphs going out and some pretty night shows when one of these happens in the future, though, it will be a very different story.

所以，我們從來沒有真正注意到，除了一些電報機熄滅和一些漂亮的夜景表演之外，當這些事情在未來發生時，雖然，這將是一個非常不同的故事。

We had a very close call already in 2012, when a Carrington class Superstorm was actually created by the sun and shot towards Earth.

我們在2012年就已經有一次非常險惡的經歷，當時一個卡靈頓級的超級風暴居然是由太陽製造的，並射向地球。

It passed through the earth's orbit and missed us by only nine days.

它經過地球軌道，只差9天就能到達我們這裡。

So if the storm had been created just nine days previously, the mines would have actually been right and our apocalypse may have happened on time, but we can get a few glimpses at some of the chaos that will happen in the future when a storm like this hits the earth.

所以，如果風暴的產生僅僅是在九天之前，其實地雷是對的，我們的天啟也許會準時發生，但我們可以從這樣的風暴襲擊地球時，可以窺見未來的一些混亂。

In 1989 a severe but not quite Carrington class storm struck the Earth and most severely affected Quebec.

1989年，一場嚴重但不完全是卡林頓級的風暴襲擊了地球，對魁北克的影響最為嚴重。

In Canada, their power grid was knocked off line, which left nearly six million people without electricity for several hours or even days.

在加拿大，他們的電網被打掉，導致近600萬人停電數小時甚至數天。

So the thinking goes that whenever the really big one actually does manage to hit our planet, it'll be powerful enough to knock out electrical and communications systems across the planet for days, months or even years.

所以人們認為，只要真正的大地震真的能夠襲擊我們的星球，它的威力就足以讓整個星球的電力和通訊系統癱瘓幾天、幾個月甚至幾年。

Power grids, satellites, GPS, the Internet, cell phone networks and transportation systems all could be damaged or destroyed.

電網、衛星、全球定位系統、互聯網、手機網絡和運輸系統都可能被破壞或摧毀。

Bank accounts could be totally wiped out, and the stock market could be shut down for weeks or even months, depending on the scale of the storm and the part of the Earth that it hits.

銀行賬戶可能會被完全抹去，股市可能會被關閉數週甚至數月，這取決於風暴的規模和它襲擊地球的部分。

It could do all of this damage to a particular continent, or maybe even the entire planet, and we probably only have a few hours of warning before the impending technological doom after the storm hits.

它可能會對某塊大陸造成所有這些破壞，甚至可能會對整個地球造成破壞，而我們可能只有幾個小時的預警時間，在暴風雨來臨之後，科技末日即將來臨。

Conservative estimates have suggested that the world may be looking at upwards of $2 trillion in damages at a timeline of 10 years to fully recover.

保守的估計表明，以10年的時間來完全恢復，世界可能會面臨高達2萬億美元以上的損失。

The most expensive disaster in history was the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan and caused the Fukushima nuclear meltdown.

歷史上最昂貴的災難是2011年日本發生的地震和海嘯，並導致福島核事故。

And that Onley caused $411 billion in damage nearly five times less than what this solar storm may cost us in the future.

而昂利造成的411億美元的損失，比這次太陽風暴在未來可能給我們造成的損失少了近5倍。

Even more extreme Studies estimates that the cost may actually be asshole Iast when t trillion dollars, which would actually kind of be really an end of the world scale disaster.

更為極端的研究估計，成本實際上可能是混蛋Iast當t萬億美元，這實際上將是一種真正的世界末日規模的災難。

It's not a matter of if the storm is going to happen.

這不是風暴會不會發生的問題。

It's definitely a matter of when and whenever it does happen.

這絕對是一個何時何地的問題。

You may have to read about it in the paper the morning after, instead of seeing it on a screen.

你可能要在後天早上的報紙上看到它，而不是在螢幕上看到它。

In the meantime, though, you should enjoy the gifts of electricity and the Internet.

不過，與此同時，你應該享受電和互聯網的饋贈。

After all, it's only because of the Internet that you just watch this video explaining to you how you might lose it all in the future.

畢竟，只是因為互聯網的原因，你只是看了這個視頻給你解釋一下，你將來可能會失去所有的東西。

When that happens, you'll have to go back to learning about things the old school way, with books and candles.

當這種情況發生時，你將不得不回到老式的學習方式，用書本和蠟燭來學習東西。

But in the meantime, you can still learn about almost anything online, like I've been doing by watching this course by Kurtz.

但與此同時，你仍然可以在網上學習幾乎任何東西，就像我一直在做的那樣，通過觀看庫爾茲的這個課程。

Kazakh on how to create an animate an educational video essay on skill share.

哈薩克族關於如何製作技能分享的教育視頻論文。

You can really learn about any number of topics on skill share, though, like how to maintain your productivity by my friend Thomas Frank, or how to use Microsoft Excel.

不過你真的可以在技能分享上學習到任何數量的主題，比如我的朋友托馬斯-弗蘭克（Thomas Frank）提出的如何保持你的生產力，或者如何使用微軟Excel。

It's still early into the new year, so it couldn't be a better time to set some goals and learn a valuable life skill.

現在還是新的一年的初期，所以現在是制定一些目標，學習一項寶貴的生活技能的最好時機。

You can teach yourself pretty much anything online these days, and skill share is a perfect place for you to do it with professional and easy to understand classes that follow a clear learning curve.

現在你幾乎可以在網上教自己任何東西，而技能分享是一個完美的地方，它的課程專業而簡單易懂，遵循清晰的學習曲線。

 You can jump right in and begin learning how to do the work or the hobbies that you love. 

你可以直接跳進去，開始學習如何做你喜歡的工作或愛好。
