双语：人类起源于外星？数字37是外星人留下的

据外媒报道，科学家们发现了可以证明人类生命是外星人在地球上有意培育的证据。哈萨克斯坦科学家马克西姆•马库科夫称，地球生命来自外星人的说法已经不新鲜了，但他们在人类的基因代码里找到了一个信息可以作为确凿证据，它就是数字37。

The notion that life on Earth has alien origins is nothing new, but a pair of researchers believe that they have cracked an ancient code which prove that life was planted on Earth by extraterrestrial beings.

地球生命起源的外星说并不新鲜，但是两名研究人员却认为，他们破译的古老密码证明了地球上的生命是由外星人播种的。

Maxim Makukov from the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute in Almaty, Kazakhstan, claims to have discovered an “intelligent-like signal” that is encoded into our genetic material.

哈萨克斯坦阿拉木图费森可夫天体物理研究所的马克西姆•马库科夫声称，他发现人类的遗传物质中被嵌入了一种“智慧生物信号”。

Although he admits that the theory is “out there”, he and his research mentor, mathematician Vladmir shCherbak, believe that they have conclusive evidence that a message, or a signature, is in our genetic code.

尽管他承认这一理论已经“存在”，但他和他的研究导师——数学家弗拉德米尔•舍尔巴克都坚信，他们有确凿的证据证明：在人类的遗传密码里的确隐藏着某种信息或者说标记。

Panspermia is the process in which life is transferred from one planet to another. Some biologists believe that life on Earth began when an asteroid collided with Mars, causing the supposedly once microbial-full soil to be flung Earthbound.

“泛种论”指的是生命从一个星球转移到另一个星球的过程。有些生物学家认为，地球上的生命始于一颗小行星与火星的碰撞，当时，据信曾富含微生物的土壤被甩到地球。

The Kazakhstani duo have taken this one step further, and believe that life is a result of "directed panspermia" – something was intentionally sent towards Earth to kickstart life.

这对哈萨克斯坦搭档将这一假设又推进了一步，他们认为生命是“定向泛种论”的结果，也就是说，为了开启生命，某种物质被刻意送往地球。

By analysing the genetic code – which is the set of rules which translate DNA into proteins and does not alter as it is passed down through generations – they note that the number 37 crops up several times.

通过分析遗传密码——一套将DNA转译为蛋白质且不会在遗传中发生改变的规则——他们发现，37这个数字多次出现。

One instance is that the mass of the molecular core shared by all 20 amino acids is 74 – which is 37 doubled.

其中一个例子是，所有20种氨基酸的分子核质量都是74，是37的2倍。

Another is in 'Rumer's transformation'. Yuri Rumer first identified in 1966 that the genetic code can be divided equally in half, with one half being "whole family" codons – a codon being three structural units within DNA – and the other half being "split family", which do not have the AC code, an amino acid that is used to build proteins.

还有一个例子出现在“鲁默变换”中。尤里•鲁默1966年首次发现基因密码可以等分成两半，一半是“完整家族”密码子（每个密码子在DNA内占三个结构单位），另一半是“分裂家族”（用于生成蛋白质的氨基酸），其中不含AC碱基。

There are a total of 28 codons which have a total atomic mass of 1665 and a combined side chain atomic mass of 703 – both of which are multiples of 37.

密码子总共有28个，总原子质量为1665，与其结合的侧链原子质量为703，二者质量均为37的整数倍。

The scientists have a total of nine examples in their research paper published inIcarus, where they state that the chances of the number 37 appearing this many times by random in the genetic code in a staggering one in 10 trillion.

他们将研究论文发表在《伊卡洛斯》杂志上，在其中举了九个案例，他们称，数字37在基因密码中多次随机出现的概率仅为10万亿份之一。

Prof Makukov told New Scientist: “It was clear right away that the code has a non-random structure.

马库科夫教授告诉《新科学家》杂志：“人类的遗传密码显然具有非随机结构。”

"The patterns that we describe are not simply non-random."

“我们所说的模式并不是简单的'非随机'而已。”

"They have some features that, at least from our point of view, were very hard to ascribe to natural processes."

“至少在我们看来，它们具备某些很难归因于自然过程的特征。”

As for what planted the message, the Kazakh scientist says: "Maybe they're gone long ago. Maybe they're still alive. I think these are questions for the future."

至于是谁在基因密码中植入了这些信息，这位哈萨克科学家表示：“或许它们很久前就灭绝了，或许它们还生存着，我想这是我们未来要解决的问题。

"For the patterns in the code, the explanation we give, we think is the most plausible."

“至于密码中的模式，我们认为我们给出的解释是最可信的。”
