In his book Autobiographical Notes, Einstein recalls how he once daydreamed about chasing a beam of light as it traveled through space.
在他的著作《自述注记》中，爱因斯坦回忆道他当时幻想在宇宙中追逐一道光线。
Ultraviolet light is strongly linked to solar activity: solar flares shine brightly in the ultraviolet, and it helps carry the explosive energy of the flares away into space.
紫外线与太阳活动有莫大的关系：太阳闪焰通过紫外线爆发，并携带闪焰的爆发性能量进入太空中。

只有很小一部分太阳的光和热由此方向释放出来，并且未被阻挡，穿越星空，来到地球。
Relativity says that light always moves in a straight line through empty space, and always at the same speed in a vacuum, no matter what your observation point.
它指出光在真空中走直线，且在真空中光速恒定，不论你的观测点如何。
There should be ample natural light, for example, entering through the windows and no open air shafts in the middle of the unit. Also, space should not abut fire-escape stairs.
