S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Questions 1 through 4.
0:06
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Listen to a conversation in an astronomy class.
0:10
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Professor Carmichael,
0:13
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
I'd like to ask a question.
0:14
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
You just said that,
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
according to Einstein,
0:17
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
nothing can go faster than the speed of light.
0:20
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Is that right?
0:21
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Yes,
0:22
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Ted. That's what Einstein said,
0:24
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
and most scientists agree with him.
0:26
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Then does that mean that we could never build spaceships to go to other stars?
0:30
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Well,
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
let's think about it.
0:33
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Do you remember how far it is to the nearest star?
0:35
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Uh,
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
I think you said a few days ago that it's about four light
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
years.
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
About that.
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
And how fast does light travel?
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Around 186 ,000 miles per second.
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Yes.
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
And a light year is the distance light travels in a year.
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Imagine that.
0:53
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
A light year is the equivalent of almost six trillion miles.
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
But what if we built a ship that could go almost as fast as
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
light?
1:02
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Then we could get to the closest star in four or five years.
1:05
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
That's true in theory.
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Unfortunately,
1:08
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
there are no spaceships that can even approach the speed of light.
1:12
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Even if we built ships that are much faster than the rockets we have
1:16
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
today, it would probably take hundreds or thousands of years to
1:20
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
get to the closest stars.
1:21
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
How could you carry enough fuel to last that long?
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
We'd need a completely different method of powering spaceship.
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
So you're saying that you don't think people will ever be able to travel to the
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
stars?
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Well,
1:34
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
I don't want to say never,
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Ted. Who knows what kinds of scientific breakthroughs there will be?
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
But I think,
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
for the foreseeable future,
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
there will only be starships in science fiction movies and books.
1:46
S… Speaker 2 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Number
1:51
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
one.
1:52
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
What had Professor Carmichael been talking about when Ted asked
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
her a question?
1:57
S… Speaker 2 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Number
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
two.
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
If a ship could travel almost as fast as light.
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
How long would it take to get to the closest star?
2:13
S… Speaker 2 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Number
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
3.
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
According to Professor Carmichael,
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
what must be developed before ships can travel to the closest stars?
2:30
S… Speaker 2 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Number
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
4.
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
How does Professor Carmichael characterize travel to other
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
stars?
2:45
S… Speaker 2 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
This
2:55
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
is the end of Part B.
2:56
S… Speaker 1 (EN2-M14-Exercise Long Conversation 2)
Go on to Part C.
