***生命科學閱讀之 4 ***
世界從何而來,生命從何而來,心智從何而來?
量子科學是否能夠解釋這一切?
(有中文版)
“There‘s Plenty of Room at the Bottom" — Richard Feynman
(在最底下的微小的世界中,還有很大的探索空間— 諾貝爾物理學獎得主費因曼)
這是去年第一波疫情期間宅在家買的書,當時覺得如果牛頓在家工作期間可以發展出微積分的概念,那我只是嘗試了解量子科學應該還好吧?可是心裡還是有覺得困難的障礙所以就拖到今年這波疫情,跟著其他生命科學相關的書一起讀。有點難度,但真的好有趣。讀完真的覺得對於感覺困難的東西,不要太快自我設限啊!
這本算是難度比較高的科普書籍,但作者盡量用我們一般人可以理解的現象當成切入點。在我們肉眼可看到的世界牛頓的物理學基本上都是可以充分解釋的。當愛因斯坦把思考的框架拉到整個時空,就發現在那個世界當中古典物理學的概念不能解釋,於是產生出他的相對論。而當我們反向進入極為小的世界當中,發現量子完全不是按照我們平常的邏輯在運作時,感覺又開啟了一個嶄新的世界觀。20世紀初著名的物理學家薛丁格,提出所謂「薛丁格的貓」這個思想實驗,就是已經進入到量子物理學的開端,讓他開始思考是否在更微小的量子級別當中,他們有一套截然不同的運作原理呢?接下來數十年開發出的實驗方式和測量儀器當然就更精準了,看到了量子可以跳動,可以有類似穿牆的能力,甚至可以同時擁有好多不同的狀態(不是只有0和1)。我們真的需要開始跳脫數位的思考,進入量子的世界,才有可能揭開它無窮的潛力。
首先他從候鳥遷徙的故事開始講到基因,這個攜帶生命資訊的程式,到底是如何延續下去以及當中如何產生變化的。我們現代的人比較了解基因和DNA一代一代抄寫下去的概念,可是對於中間變異或是凸槌(例如癌細胞)的部分,卻一直沒有夠好的解釋。記得小時候自然課會講到演化,常常會舉的例子就是那個脖子可以伸最長的長頸鹿才能吃到葉子所以適者生存。從某些角度來講是有它的道理,但脖子在伸長的資訊為什麼這樣的資訊會傳到下一代呢?作者用量子物理學補足了這樣說法當中一些論證不足之處。
再來就是講到能量和動能,即便我們能組合出所有需要的分子,但是所謂的「生命力」是從何而來呢?我很新奇的讀著作者講到大自然中,小學生都知道的「光合作用」,竟然是這麼一個不可思議,效率極高的動能引擎。從工業時代設計的蒸汽機,或是現代的燃油引擎,以及最尖端的發電動能,都無法與光合作用的效能相比。
最後講到人的心識思想和做夢,這是古典物理學完全不能解釋的。作者先帶著我們把人腦和腦細胞想成是類似電路的概念解釋,然後在討入量子物理學驅動實體世界的觀點,才發現原來我們的人腦可能就是一個設計令人讚嘆的量子電腦啊!經他這麼一解釋,我也才稍微明白量子電腦為什麼會有這麼大的潛力,但也明白量子電腦現在為什麼這麼難模擬和製作。
作者最後用一個很有趣的圖來比喻古典物理學和量子力學中間的關係。如果說我們生活的這個實體世界像是航行在海上的一艘船,這艘船受到海面上的浪以及外面的風所影響。但船底下的這個還是深不可測的,他下面有一大部分的底層是由熱力學來支撐的,熱力學底下就是量子物理力學。當上面船隻的航行和節奏與最底層一致的時候,即便有風浪也還算能夠平靜行駛。但是當這樣子的連結被打斷的時候,船就很容易覆沒,而一旦覆沒,也是一個不可逆的現象了 (例如基因突變或是死亡)
探索世界無止境的奧秘,不管是物理,化學,天文,還是生命科學,總會有一種敬畏的心。就像牛頓所說的 :
“我不知道世界怎麼看待我,但我認為我就像沙灘上玩耍的一個男孩,投入在探索中。偶爾會找到一個圓滑的石子,或是一個不尋常的漂亮貝殼。而在我的前方一片像是汪洋大海的真理,等待探索”
“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me”

#KatxShowreels : Yes, I am back with another flirty role as "Binh"(Vietnamese Call Girl) in the Mediacorp Channel 8 drama titled《 #触心罪探 / #MindJumper 》➡ thanks to Ochre Pictures , Director Rowena + "Lay Har", AD Nicolette , Casting Intern "Esther", and the entire #production team for having me & trusting in me! 💝
Although this isn't my 1st time #acting as a promiscuous lady, I am still really grateful for the experience while #filming it... Because 对我而言,每一个角色都是一种新的体验。🙆♀️
( Fun fact - The description that I got for my role was "Binh is a Vietnamese Lady that has been working as Call Girl in the other brothels for very long already" 👉 Does that mean I look very 熟练 in that kind of industry? 😅 )
And even though I only appeared in 1 scene for this role, I've actually binge-watched the rest of the episodes as well because I am loving the suspense & surprise within the show! 😱
All 20 Episodes are now out on MeWatch / MeWatch 中文版, and the interesting series will also be broadcasting on #Ch8sg from 5th April onwards... 📺 所以请大家一定要记得多多支持,因为这部戏剧真的很好看。😊
[ P.S. It was my first time working with #ochrepictures for this project, but I'm already looking forward to collaborate with everyone on set again soon~ 🙏 #ActorsLife #LifeOfAnActor #Passion ]

Good Night (晚安)
👇中文版本在英文下👇
This song’s about 3 months’ old. I posted a few weeks ago that I recorded a new song I’d written for a TV show theme song. Good Night is actually the song I wrote for that TV show, but they chose a different song of mine instead.
The show has quite a dark theme, so the song’s verse is quite dissonant and menacing. I tried to imagine what happens when an evil person dies - do fallen angels take him down to Hell? If so, why would a truly evil person be punished there? More likely the demons would enjoy his company and appreciate his wrongdoings, but also mourn his passing because he cannot continue doing terrible things on Earth.
What makes someone become a monster – is it intrinsic, or created behaviour? Do they know what they are doing is wrong and try to stop themselves, is it uncontrollable? If so, do they regret what they do, do they hate themselves for it? If so, then they are also victims, and death may be a relief to them. So the chorus lyrics are about a descent into Hell, but they also represent relief of worldly pain, hence the lighter melody.
I then started thinking about forgiveness - if Christianity says anyone is capable of redemption, then why can’t an evil person love and be loved? I tried to represent this by putting a dissonant verse melody and notes at odds with the lyrics, which are quite sweet, and show that some even this monster is cared for on his death bed, and will be missed.
This was written just as Covid-19 was getting very serious, and I guess the situation affected what I wrote.
這首歌是我最近三個月內寫的,原本是為了一部電視劇創作的主題曲,但最後他們選了另一首我的歌。
電視劇的主題有點黑暗,所以這首歌也是比較沉重的。我在想,罪惡的人死了之後到底會什麼發生。是墮落天使見到他, 把他的靈魂帶去地獄嗎?如果那個人真的罪惡那為什麼下去是種懲罰?魔鬼跟罪惡的人應該彼此欣賞吧,很開心在一起,魔鬼也應該不希望這個壞人離開凡間,因為在地球上,罪惡的人可以做魔鬼喜歡看的事。
魔鬼又是怎麼來的呢? 是與生俱來的嗎,還是後天遇到什麼讓他變成魔鬼?魔鬼知道他們在做惡嗎,還是無意的,無法控制的?如果說不能控制,那他們會後悔自己做過的惡嗎,或者會因此恨自己嗎?如果會,那魔鬼其實很可憐的,他們也是受害者,死亡對魔鬼來說有可能也是減輕他的負擔。所以雖然副歌的歌詞代表這個惡人下地獄,旋律還是比較輕快的。
然後我在想,寬恕是什麼? 如果基督教說所有的人,不管有多罪惡都可以被救贖,那為什麼這個罪惡的人不值得被愛? 所以雖然主歌的旋律比較沉重,歌詞其實比較甜蜜,罪惡的人快死掉的時候還會有人陪著他,愛上他。
我寫這首歌的時候,剛好是新冠狀病毒很嚴重的時間, 我覺得這也有影響到這首歌的歌詞和旋律。
Lyrics 歌詞:
Blossom falling early, watched from our bed,
Gently, you stroke my hair and kiss my head,
Knowing what you love you cannot keep,
Your hot tears fall and burn,
they sear my cheeks,
The cards are down,
Read them and weep,
Read them and weep
Fallen angels guide me,
Lay roses at my feet,
As I’m slowly fading,
they cradle me as they weep
She knows (I can’t breathe), she knows;
I’ll soon be gone
Delirious dreams give way to serene strains,
A quiet sadness lurks ‘midst their sweet refrain,
The cards are down,
Read them and weep,
Read them and weep
Now the light shines through me, shade soothes my aching limbs,
Lost soul released into the arms of keening Seraphim
She knows (I can’t breathe), she knows (I can’t breathe), she knows
That I’m gone.

中文歌詞 (根據官方原譯校正):
來吧, 我的一眾男孩女孩們
我們將一同闖蕩虛空
別過母親的雙手, 踏上旅程
我們向著旭日啟航
直至船歸遠方
我們將一同沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於深處的姊妹們呀
我們正航向無風之地
是呀, 我們都將被拉入深淵
一同沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於寒凜深處
我們的航船
只屬強悍與敏捷之士
我們速速卸貨並繼續路途
要為了生計而奔馳
否則下場生不如死
當你沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於深處的姊妹們呀
我們正航向無風之地
是呀, 我們都將被拉入深淵
一同沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於寒凜深處
據說有一位高高在上的男人
他的眼神彷若惡魔化身
還擁有著一隻黃金手
他能傷害你, 亦能擁抱你
他能踢開你, 也能撫慰你
當你沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於深處的姊妹們呀
我們正航向無風之地
是呀, 我們都將被拉入深淵
一同沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於寒凜深處
噢, 如此聰慧真誠的姊妹們呀
當我氣數將盡之時
妳是否會讓我躺在
Granum冠幣堆上
好讓我沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於深處的姊妹們呀
我們正航向無風之地
是呀, 我們都將被拉入深淵
一同沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於深處的姊妹們呀
我們正航向無風之地
是呀, 我們都將被拉入深淵
一同沉睡於寒凜深處
一同沉睡於寒凜深處
沉睡於寒凜深處
英文歌詞:
So it's into the Void
Now me girls and me boys
From Mother's hands we go
We'll be be sailing to the sun
Till the voyage is done
Then we'll be sleeping in the cold below
Sisters! Below, below
We're going where the winds don't blow
Yes we're all bound down
To the deep and we'll be
Sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below
Our sailing ship
Is for the hard and the quick
We roll our load and go
There's a living to be made
Or there's Hell to pay
When you're sleeping in the cold below
Sisters! Below, below
We're going where the winds don't blow
Yes we're all bound down
To the deep and we'll be
Sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below
There's a man on high
With the Devil in his eye
And a golden hand, I'm told
It can hurt you, it can hold you
He can kick you or console you
When you're sleeping in the cold below
Sisters! Below, below
We're going where the winds don't blow
Yes we're all bound down
To the deep and we'll be
Sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below
Oh Sisters you
So wise and true
When it's my time to go
Won't you lay me down
Under Granum Crowns
And I'll be sleeping in the cold below
Sisters! Below, below
We're going where the winds don't blow
Yes we're all bound down
To the deep and we'll be
Sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below
Today we sail
On the Solar Rail
For there's much we just don't know
So farewell with a kiss
Then it's fast for the mist
Till we're sleeping in the cold below

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away一波大浪向我席捲而來
A tide that is taking me under 伴隨的潮水將我淹沒
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say 口裡吞進沙 使我無法開口
My voice drowned out in the thunder 我的聲音掩沒在雷鳴聲中
But I won't cry 但我不會哭
And I won't start to crumble也不會就此崩潰
Whenever they try 無論他們如何試著要
To shut me or cut me down 使我噤聲或擊倒我
I won't be silenced 我也不會就此沈默
You can't keep me quiet 無法阻止我發聲
Won't tremble when you try it無論你怎麼試圖阻撓 我也不會動搖顫抖
All I know is I won't go speechless我只知道我不會因此什麼話都不說
Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me 即使想讓我窒息 我也會大口呼吸
Don't you underestimate me別低估我
Cause I know that I won't go speechless 因為我知道我不會甘願保持沈默
Written in stone every rule, every word自古以來的每條規則
Centuries old and unbending 歷經千年 執拗不變
Stay in your place better seen and not heard 總要我安份守己 不要有意見
But now that story is ending 但如今 那樣的故事該結束了
Cause I, I cannot start to crumble因為我不會崩潰
So come on and try所以放馬過來吧
Try to shut me and cut me down 即使試圖讓我噤聲 打倒我
I won't be silenced我也不會就此緘默
You can't keep me quiet你無法阻止我發聲
Won't tremble when you try it 無論你如何阻撓 我也不會動搖顫抖
All I know is I won't go speechless (speechless)我只知道我不會因此沈默不語
Let the storm in 就讓暴風襲擊吧
I cannot be broken 我是不會被打倒的
No, I won't live unspoken 我不會卑微過一生
Cause I know that I won't go speechless 我知道我不會就這樣坐以待斃 緘默不語
Try to lock me in this cage 即使試圖把我鎖進牢籠裡
I won't just lay me down and die 我也不會因此放棄或倒地不起
I will take these broken wings 我會帶著殘破的雙翼
And watch me burn across the sky 炙熱燃燒 飛越蒼穹
Hear the echoes saying I ... won't be silenced 聽見那傳來的回音...我不會就此沈默
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it 即使你不斷試著要動搖我 想看我害怕顫抖的模樣
All I know is I won't go speechless (speechless)
但我只知道我不會因此什麼都不說
Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me 即使想讓我窒息 我也會大口呼吸
Don't you underestimate me 千萬別低估我
Cause I know that I won't go speechless 因為我知道我不會甘願什麼都不說
All I know is I won't go speechless我只知道我不會因此而保持沈默
Speechless閉口不語
