时差N小时 宇宙的颜色

The scientists used a computer program to analyze¹ the results obtained with a modern prism.

科学家们用电脑程序来分析这些通过这个现代棱镜得到的结果。

Then they replaced each wavelength² with the color the human eye sees at that wavelength toconstruct what they called a cosmic spectrum³ to represent all that energy.

然后，他们在每个波长里用人类肉眼能看到的颜色来代替这个波长，从而构成了一个他们所谓的宇宙光普，并用它来代表所有的能量。

Finally, they variedthe intensity⁴ of each color on the spectrum in proportion to that wavelength's intensity in theuniverse.

最后，他们改变宇宙光谱中每种颜色的强度，使之与宇宙中的波长的强度成比例。

And after all that, they concluded that the average wavelength is most similar to a nondescriptbeige.

在此之后，他们推断出平均波长最接近普通米黄色光的波长。

However, researchers initially⁵ did think the color of the universe was closer to a turquoise,but then it turned out that the computer program they were using calculated the colors incorrectly.

然而，研究人员最初认为宇宙更接近蓝绿色，但随后的事实证明，他们用电脑程序计算出来的宇宙颜色并非蓝绿色。
