For ten billion years

after the Bang,

the Universe turned inward,

expansion slowed --

each tiny piece of everything

sought a brilliant center,

the singular womb

from which being became.

大爆炸后的

一百亿年

宇宙内收

膨胀放慢---

万物的每个小碎片

都成为光明种

而奇点的子宫

来自何处

But the repulsion

of distance

overcame the attraction

of proximity.

但远程的

斥力

挣脱了

局域的

引力

Now the Universe flings forth

nascent worlds,

coalescing stars

more quickly every second,

and each piece of everything

seeks darkness

through an infinity

of dimension.

于是宇宙向外冲出

初期的大千世界

团聚着的恒星

秒速更快

而万物的每个碎片

经无限大的

量纲

撒向黑暗
