| Ever since Pierre-Simon Laplace envisioned the Hypothetical "Laplace's Demon" in 1814, an entity with infinite computing power that knows the exact location and velocity of every particle in the universe, there has been speculation that if one had such abilities, the past, present, and future of the universe can be predicted. |
Sejak Pierre-Simon Laplace membayangkan "Demon Laplace" Hipotesis pada tahun 1814, sebuah entiti dengan kuasa pengkomputeran tak terhingga yang mengetahui lokasi dan halaju yang tepat bagi setiap zarah di alam semesta, terdapat spekulasi bahawa jika seseorang mempunyai kebolehan sedemikian, masa lalu, masa kini, dan masa depan alam semesta boleh diramalkan. |
| However, there are limits to even this kind of knowledge, and it may very well be impossible for mankind to ever find the much sought-after "Theory of Everything". |
Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat had untuk pengetahuan jenis ini, dan mungkin mustahil bagi manusia untuk menemui "Teori Segala-galanya" yang sangat dicari. |
| Does Laplace's Demon hold proof of Predestination? |
Adakah Demon Laplace memegang bukti Predestinasi? |
| Could it even exist? |
Adakah ia wujud? |
| We will examine these questions shortly. |
Kami akan memeriksa soalan- soalan ini sebentar lagi |
| Let us assume, for one moment, that Laplace's Demon not only could exist, but it is real. |
Mari berfikir sejenak, Laplace’s Demon bukan sahaja wujud, bahkan ia benar |
| The entity is sitting in a laboratory, doing computations, and feeding scientists data about the future of the universe. |
Entiti itu sedang duduk di makmal, melakukan pengiraan dan memberi saintis data tentang masa depan alam semesta. |
| This scenario could be thought of as absolute proof that free will is an illusion, and that predestination rules the universe. |
Senario ini boleh dianggap sebagai bukti mutlak bahawa kehendak bebas adalah ilusi, dan takdir memerintah alam semesta. |
| As the Demon simulates particles ricocheting off of each other, forming atoms, cooling down, then gradually forming stars several billion years ago, it watches matter spin, gravity attract material; Earth forms, then life forms, then Humans slowly evolve, it predicts the chemical reactions going on inside our brains, it knows what we will do, what we will think, and what we will feel. |
Apabila Demon mensimulasikan zarah memantul antara satu sama lain, membentuk atom, menyejukkan, kemudian secara beransur-ansur membentuk bintang beberapa bilion tahun yang lalu, ia memerhatikan putaran jirim, graviti menarik bahan; Bumi terbentuk, kemudian hidupan terbentuk, kemudian Manusia perlahan-lahan berkembang, ia meramalkan tindak balas kimia yang berlaku di dalam otak kita, ia tahu apa yang akan kita lakukan, apa yang akan kita fikirkan, dan apa yang akan kita rasa. |
| For the processes of our brain are no different, no less certain than the boiling of water or the constant flickering of minute switches in the circuitry of a computer. |
Kerana proses otak kita tidak berbeza, tidak kurang pasti daripada pendidihan air atau kelipan berterusan suis minit dalam litar komputer. |
| Neurons fire, some adrenaline is released there, some dopamine here, and you get a human thought. |
Neuron menyala, beberapa adrenalin dilepaskan di sana, beberapa dopamin di sini, dan anda mendapat pemikiran manusia. |
| What we perceive as free will is merely routine chemical processes occurring within our brains, and we are no more than clumps of matter floating around in the universe like the coldest space rock, as time moves only forward, and the universe expands outward. |
Apa yang kita anggap sebagai kehendak bebas hanyalah proses kimia rutin yang berlaku dalam otak kita, dan kita tidak lebih daripada gumpalan bahan yang terapung di alam semesta seperti batu angkasa yang paling sejuk, apabila masa bergerak ke hadapan, dan alam semesta mengembang ke luar. |
| and nothing- nothing is uncertain in the mind of the Demon. |
Dan tiada apa- tiada apa yang pasti di dalam minda Demon |
