摘要
[1]2014年春节联欢晚会上的一曲《时间都去哪儿了》唱得亿万观众为之动容、感慨万分。【2】的确,时间是宇宙间最伟大、最神奇的东西;人们对它既司空见惯,又不可思议。在漫长的时间演化中,单细胞变成了多细胞,又呈几何级数分化,从原始微生物变成高级生物,进化出了各种动植物,包括人类;一切在时间中出世、成长、成熟、衰老、死亡。自有文字记载以来,人类经验中最基本和最习以为常的参数就是时间。
[1] A song called "Where has time gone" sung at the Spring Festival Gala in 2014 moved billions of listeners since it touched public emotion. [2] Indeed, given its ubiquity and mystery, time is perhaps the greatest and most amazing thing in the universe. Over a very long time-span, cells multiplied from monoplasts to multicellular organisms, and then life forms evolved exponentially from primitive microbes into more advanced and variegated creatures and plants, including human beings. Time is now referred to as the most common parameter for virtually everything on earth since records began, ranging through birth, growth, maturity, ageing and death.
