Learn English With Videos (Mario Vergara), 034: Why THE FLASH Is Faster Than You Think!

034: Why THE FLASH Is Faster Than You Think!

You live in the past. It's weird, I know, but even right now you are living life with lag. The only human who isn't is The Flash. In the DC universe a few mortals have assumed the identity of The Flash, but they all possess the almighty speed force, an ability to move at incredible speeds derived from some undefined extra-dimension.

Moving at superhero-speed makes for some weird consequences in physics, but time perception is definitely the weirdest. Light has to go through a few steps in your eyes and brain before you actually see it. For example, when you're looking at your computer screen right now, photons are hitting the backs of your eyes, touching off complex chemical signals, that are then translated into electricity.

These electrical signals are sent along neurons to the back of the brain, and eventually translated into what we see. But this process isn't instantaneous. This path is some distance and it takes some time. If life were a movie, it would be running at about sixty frames per second. This means that there is some of life that you are missing. Not only are you seeing the world as it was, milliseconds ago, but you are seeing life in frames, and not continuously.

Other organisms live a bit more in the now. The golden-mantled ground squirrel, for example, experiences the world at 120 frames per second. Flies see the world at what would effectively look like bullet-time, at 250 frames per second. But the epitome of perception has to be The Flash. It's because he wouldn't be able to see anything otherwise. The Flash can sprint at the speed of light. At those speeds, it would seem like light bunches up, like how an ambulance seems to get louder when it's rushing towards you. If The Flash's brain also couldn't process information at those insane speeds, the world would blur out. It's counter-intuitive, but by moving at or near light-speed, The Flash's world would be one standing still. By processing information as fast as he can run, he is closer to reality than any of us. Woah. There are less philosophical points here too. By processing information that fast, The Flash could pick out any single frame of a movie just by watching it, you know, kinda like that single frame of porn in Fight Club. Or not. He could see every individual flap of a hummingbird's wings. Thinking at the speed of light gives The Flash access to more of reality than any of us have. To him, our lives would look like a laggy MMO. To understand the present it seems, you have to understand the fast. Why? Because science.

Во вселенной DC несколько смертных приняли облик Флэша, но все они обладают всемогущей силой скорости - способностью двигаться с невероятной скоростью, полученной из какого-то неопределенного сверхизмерения.

Moving at superhero-speed makes for some weird consequences in physics, but time perception is definitely the weirdest. スーパーヒーローの速度で移動すると、物理学に奇妙な結果がもたらされますが、時間の知覚は間違いなく最も奇妙です。 Mover-se na velocidade de um super-herói traz algumas consequências estranhas na física, mas a percepção do tempo é definitivamente a mais estranha. Light has to go through a few steps in your eyes and brain before you actually see it. 光は、実際に見る前に、目と脳のいくつかのステップを通過する必要があります。 A luz tem que passar por alguns passos em seus olhos e cérebro antes de você realmente vê-la.

If life were a movie, it would be running at about sixty frames per second. ||||||||playing|||||| 人生が映画だとしたら、それは毎秒約60フレームで実行されます。 Se a vida fosse um filme, estaria rodando a cerca de sessenta quadros por segundo. This means that there is some of life that you are missing. ||||||||which|||not experiencing これは、あなたが失っている人生のいくつかがあることを意味します。 Isso significa que você está perdendo um pouco da vida.

Потому что иначе он не смог бы ничего увидеть. The Flash can sprint at the speed of light. |||衝刺||||| フラッシュは光速でスプリントできます。 O Flash pode correr na velocidade da luz.

Это противоречит интуиции, но, двигаясь со скоростью света или близкой к ней, мир Флэша будет стоять на месте. By processing information as fast as he can run, he is closer to reality than any of us. |analyzing||||||||||nearer|||in comparison to||| 彼はできるだけ速く情報を処理することで、私たちの誰よりも現実に近づいています。 Ao processar informações tão rápido quanto pode executar, ele está mais perto da realidade do que qualquer um de nós.

Благодаря такой быстрой обработке информации, Флэш мог выбрать любой отдельный кадр фильма, просто посмотрев его, как тот отдельный кадр порно в "Бойцовском клубе". Or not.
