To understand how superfluids work, it helps to know a little about how particles behave.

要理解超流体是如何工作的，了解一些粒子的行为是有帮助的。

This means you can make a superfluid out of them.

这意味着你可以用它们制造超流体。

Take quantum vortices, which are basically whirlpools of angular momentum in materials like superconductors and superfluids, giving them strange properties.

以量子涡旋为例，它基本上是超导体和超流体等材料中角动量的漩涡，使它们具有奇特的性质。

Because at that temperature, helium becomes a weird substance known as a superfluid.

因为在这个温度下氦会变成一种奇怪的物质，叫做超流体。

Only these kinds of atoms can slip into that low-energy state together and become a superfluid.

只有这些原子才能一起进入低能量状态，成为超流体。

Spacetime can be interpreted as the surface of an ndimensional superfluid.

时空可以用一个N维超流体的表面来解释。

No, I do. II didn't write " superfluid helium" on this napkin for nothing.

我真的想听。我特意把超流氦写在餐巾纸上可不是白费的。

Instead, all that is replaced with the perfectly coordinated unison of a superfluid.

取而代之的是，所有这些都被超流体的完美协调一致所取代。

Even though they're weird and amazing, superfluids are more than just an interesting quantum quirk.

尽管超流体既奇怪又神奇，但它们不仅仅是一种有趣的量子怪癖。

Forget helium. The real superfluid is the fruit punch in this mug.

去他的氦，这杯子里的旁趣酒才是真正的超流逼。

Yeah, I listen to what you say. You're building a particle detector using superfluid helium.

当然，你的话我都有好好听。你正在用超流氦打造一个粒子探测器。

That's easy for you to say. You and Sheldon already came up with your superfluid helium model.

你说得倒容易，你和谢尔顿已经想出了超流氦模型。

Sheldon, this is superfluid helium. Put this in your mouth, your tongue will freeze and break off.

谢尔顿，这是超流氦。把这个放到嘴巴里，你的舌头就会冻成碎片。

A Swedish team of physicists is trying to scoop our superfluid vortex experiment. Oh, well, that kind of stinks.

一个瑞典的物理学家团队，想要抢先一步进行我们的超流体漩涡实验，好吧，这是有点恶心。

That is not true with superfluids: They will get pushed right up the walls and over the top of the container.

但对于超流体，情况并非如此：它们会被推到容器壁，越过容器的顶部。

So making any superfluid is hard, but making one from helium-3 that is worthy of a Nobel Prize or two!

所以制造任何超流体都很困难，但是用氦 3 制造超流体是可以获得诺贝尔奖的！

Think of a compact ball inside of which protons and electrons fuse into neutrons and form a frictionless liquid called a superfluid— surrounded by a crust.

想像一个紧凑的球，里面的质子和电子融合成中子，形成一种无摩擦的液体，称为超流体—被地壳包围。

Well, it's tricky working with superfluids. Whatever container you put them in, they kind of creep up the sides and crawl out all on their own.

超流体这玩意还挺难搞。不管放进什么容器里，它都会从边上渗出来慢慢逃逸掉。

Forget helium the real superfluid is the fruit punch in this mug. It reminds me of my daddy's secret " Don't Tell Mama" Juice.

去他的氦，这杯子里的旁趣酒才是真正的超流逼，让我想起我爸的秘密，" 不许告诉妈妈" 果汁。

Oh, it's quite straightforward, actually. It describes a new model of the universe that conceptualizes it as the surface of an n-dimensional superfluid.

其实还挺好理解的啦。它描述了一种新的宇宙模型，将宇宙构想成n维超流体的表面。
