两个世纪过去了,然而波德定律不再那么优雅迷人了。
In the two centuries since, however, Bode's law has fallen from grace.
根据波德定律,行星轨道的空间一定会有某种隐含模式。
According to Bode's law, there is a hidden pattern in the spacing of the orbits of the planets.
波德定律看起来似乎仅仅是一个巧合罢了,一种人类试图为不存在的东西找到合理说法的思维定式。
Bode's law, it seemed, was just a coincidence, an example of the human mind's tendency to find a meaningful pattern where none exists.
同样,从严格理论上的可能性来讲,这种与波德定律相关的观点在一些研究者近几年的研究中得到逐步完善。
Still, the idea that there might be something to Bode's law after all has been advanced by a few researchers in recent years as a serious theoretical possibility.
确实,他们的文章宣布了该发现,提到了发现波德定律的人名(该定则的真实名称是提丢斯-波得定则,提到了波德窃取的这位普鲁士天文学家的思想)。
Indeed, their paper announcing the discovery refers to Bode's law by name (it actually calls it the Titius-Bode law, namechecking the Prussian astronomer whose idea Bode stole).
