你能解决时间旅行难题吗?
Can you solve the time travel riddle?
内容简介
Your professor has accidentally stepped through a time portal in his physics lab. You've got just a minute to jump through before it closes and leaves him stranded in history. Your only way back is to grab enough colored nodules to create a new portal to open a doorway through time. Can you take the right amount of nodules to get back to the present before the portal closes? Dan Finkel shows how.
你在拉姆齐教授的物理实验室的实习工作一直以来都非常棒 , 直到教授不小心穿过了时间传送门 。 在传送门关闭 , 将教授困在历史时空之前 , 你有一分钟的时间穿过传送门拯救他 。 你有把握成功吗?

Your internship in Professor Ramsey’sphysics lab has been amazing. Until, that is, the professor accidentallystepped through a time portal. You’ve got just a minute to jump throughthe portal to save him before it closes and leaves him stranded in history.
你在拉姆齐教授物理实验室的实习工作一直以来都非常棒 ,直到教授不小心穿过了时间传送门 。在传送门关闭、将教授困在历史时空之前 ,你有一分钟的时间穿过传送门拯救他 。
Once you’re through it, the portal will close, and your only way back will be to create a new one using the chrono-nodules from your lab. Activated nodules connect to each other via red or blue tachyon entanglement. Activate more nodules and they’ll connect to all other nodules in the area. As soon as a red or blue triangle iscreated with a nodule at each point, it opens a doorway through time thatwill take you back to the present. But the color of each individualconnection manifests at random, and there’s no way to chooseor change its color.
当你进入传送门之后 , 传送门会关闭 ,返回当前时空的唯一办法是利用实验室里的“时间结节”建立一个新的传送门 。激活后的结节会互相连接 ,通过红色或蓝色超光速粒子缠结 。更多结节激活后 ,它们将会与区域内其他结节相互连接 。一旦形成一个以结节为顶点的蓝色或红色三角形时 ,时空之门即可打开 , 将你带回当前时空 。但每次连接的颜色随机出现 ,无法选择或者改变连接的颜色 。
And there’s one more problem: each individual nodule creates atemporal instability that raises the chances the portalmight collapse as you go through it. So the fewer you bring, the better. The portal’s about to close. What’s the minimum number of nodules you need to bring to be certain you’ll create a red or blue triangle and get back to the present?
还有一个问题是: 每个结节都会降低时空稳定性 ,增加穿越时传送门崩溃的风险 。所以携带的时间结节越少越好 。传送门即将关闭 。最少需要带多少个结节 才能保证可以组成一个红色或蓝色三角形 , 回当前时空呢?
