The research could explain what happened in the first trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.

此研究能够解释大爆炸后第一万亿分之一秒内所发生的事。

The X-ray pulses have a shutter speed of less than 100 femtoseconds (100 femtoseconds = 1/10 of a trillionth of a second).

这种X光脉冲快门速度不到100飞秒（100飞秒= 万亿分之一秒的1/10）。

But about 50 trillionths of a trillionth (5 10-23) of a second later, all the quarks, antiquarks and gluons recombine into hadrons that explode outward into the surrounding detectors.

但在兆兆分之50(5 10 - 23)秒后，所有的正反夸克与胶子就又重新结合为强子而向外爆发，进入周围的侦测器中。

So even if our exposure time is indeed nearly a trillionth of a second, to get sufficient light we must take an average.

So what about in a trillionth of a second?

This X-ray laser was aimed at a piece of aluminum foil, and in less than a trillionth of a second, the laser heated the foil up to 2 million degrees celsius (3.6 million degrees Fahrenheit).
