斯萊弗第一個(gè)注意到光的這種作用,意識(shí)到這對(duì)將來理解宇宙的運(yùn)動(dòng)十分重要。不幸的是,誰也沒有太多注意他。榮譽(yù)反而屬于一個(gè)非常自負(fù)的大人物,他的名字叫埃德溫?哈勃。他是個(gè)有實(shí)力、有天賦的運(yùn)動(dòng)員,魅力十足,時(shí)髦瀟灑,相貌堂堂——用威廉?H.克羅珀的話來說,"英俊到了不適當(dāng)?shù)某潭?;用另一位崇拜者的話來說,"美得像美神阿多尼斯" ~~~

Slipher was the first to notice this effect with light and to realize its potential importance for understanding the motions of the cosmos. Unfortunately no one much noticed him. [---1---] Slipher was unaware of Einstein's theory of relativity, and the world was equally unaware of Slipher. So his finding had no impact.
Glory instead would pass to [-2-] named Edwin Hubble. Hubble was born in 1889, ten years after Einstein, in a small Missouri town on the edge of the Ozarks and grew up there and in Wheaton, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. His father was a successful insurance executive, so life was always comfortable, and Edwin [-3-], too. He was a strong and gifted athlete, charming, smart, and [-4-] good-looking—"handsome almost to a fault," in the description of William H. Cropper, "an Adonis" in the words of another [-5-] . According to his own accounts, he also managed to fit into his life more or less constant acts of valor—[---6---] It all seemed too good to be true. It was. For all his gifts, Hubble was also an inveterate liar.

The Lowell Observatory, as you will recall, was a bit of an oddity thanks to Percival Lowell's obsession with Martian canals, which in the 1910s made it, in every sense, an outpost of astronomical endeavor.

斯萊弗第一個(gè)注意到光的這種作用,意識(shí)到這對(duì)將來理解宇宙的運(yùn)動(dòng)十分重要。不幸的是,誰也沒有太多注意他。你會(huì)記得,珀西瓦爾?洛厄爾在這里潛心研究過火星上的運(yùn)河,因此洛厄爾天文臺(tái)是個(gè)比較獨(dú)特的地方。到了20世紀(jì)的前10年,它在任何意義上都成了研究天文的前哨陣地。斯萊弗不知道愛因斯坦的相對(duì)論,世界也同樣不知道斯萊弗,因此,他的發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有影響。
榮譽(yù)反而屬于一個(gè)非常自負(fù)的大人物,他的名字叫埃德溫?哈勃。哈勃1889年生于歐扎克高原邊緣的一個(gè)密蘇里州小鎮(zhèn),比愛因斯坦小10歲;他在那里及芝加哥郊區(qū)伊利諾伊的惠頓長(zhǎng)大。他的父親是一名成功的保險(xiǎn)公司經(jīng)理,因此家里的生活總是很優(yōu)裕。埃德溫還天生有個(gè)好的身體。他是個(gè)有實(shí)力、有天賦的運(yùn)動(dòng)員,魅力十足,時(shí)髦瀟灑,相貌堂堂--用威廉?H.克羅珀的話來說,"英俊到了不適當(dāng)?shù)某潭?;用另一位崇拜者的話來說,"美得像美神阿多尼斯"。用他自己的話來說,他生活中還經(jīng)常干一些見義勇為的事--搶救落水的人;領(lǐng)著嚇壞了的人穿越法國(guó)戰(zhàn)場(chǎng),把他們帶到安全的地方;在表演賽中幾下子就把世界冠軍級(jí)的拳擊手打倒在地,弄得他們不勝難堪。這一切都好得簡(jiǎn)直令人難以置信,但都是真的。盡管才華出眾,但哈勃也是個(gè)頑固不化的說謊大王。
