THE world is definitely not coming to an end today, the winter solstice. 世界绝对不是在今天冬至日走向终结。 Jesús Galindo Trejo, a Mexican researcher in astro-archeology, plasma astrophysics and solar physics, answers questions about the end-of-the-world prediction and the Mayan calendar, which ends today. He recently addressed a conference last month at Shanghai Tonji University. Jesús Galindo Trejo，一个研究天文考古学、等离子体物理、天体物理学的墨西哥人，回答关于世界末日预言和玛雅历法的问题，即今天是末日。他上个月最近的一次会议发言是在上海同济大学。 Q: Are there any threats to Earth in 2017? 问：2017年会有什么威胁到地球吗？ A: The only real threat to Earth is the irresponsible conduct of man in the contamination of our planet. The probability of an impact of a meteorite or comet on Earth is so low that the most dangerous situation comes from our own star, the sun billions of years hence. According to the stellar evolution theory, in approximately 4.5 billion years, the sun will become a giant red star, its distance to Earth will shrink, all liquids will evaporate, and possibly the sun will absorb Earth. Then we will return to our origin. In 2017 there is nothing dangerous for Earth. 答：唯一真正威胁地球的是在污染我们星球方面人类不负责任的行为。陨石和彗星影响地球的概率是如此之低，以至于最危险的处境来自我们自己的星球，在太阳几十亿年之后。根据恒星演化理论，在大约45亿年之后，太阳将变成一个巨大的红色星球，它和地球的距离会缩小，所有的液体会蒸发掉，可能太阳会吞噬地球。然后我们将返回到我们的起源。2017年对地球来说没什么危险。 |
