“宇宙大發現”時代
英國著名物理學家史蒂芬·霍金21日在美國喬治·華盛頓大學發表題為《為什麼要探索太空》的演講時說,在地球之外的其他星球上可能存在原始生命,人類正在進入一個新的太空探索時代。
“原始生命非常普遍”
全身癱瘓的霍金通過語音合成器向在場的聆聽者傳遞自己的太空暢想。他說自己時常在想一個問題,“我們人類(在宇宙中)是孤單的嗎?”“答案很可能是‘不’”。
這位身體無力卻思想飛揚的科學大師說,如果外星生命有足夠智慧,以至於能向太空中傳送信號,那么他們肯定也聰明到了可以製造破壞性核武器的地步了。他本人傾向於這樣一種假設———宇宙間的原始生命是非常普遍的,但是智慧型生命卻相當罕見。
他說,外星生命可能不像人類一樣是以DNA(脫氧核糖核酸)為基礎的,“因此,假如你遇上外星生命,可要小心,可能會感染上奇異疾病,人類根本沒有任何抵抗力”。

During the 15th and 16th centuries, the great royal houses of Europe sent explorers and conquerors all over the world, hoping to discover and secure new areas of influence and sources of wealth. Without the right naval vessels, these voyages would have been impossible. But even the incredible wealth of the royal houses could not sustain these expeditions for long. So they were happy that private entrepreneurs were ready to finance these expensive journeys.
Now your king has come to offer you the opportunity to invest in the great voyages of the famous explorers like Columbus and Magellan. You will need to purchase a fleet of ships, and assign them to the most successful expeditions. Of course, you will need a lot of money! To earn money you must fulfill trade contracts.
Can you balance the needs of trade with the demands of the great explorers? It is time to seek wealth and glory in the Age of Discovery!
