The end of the world is nigh. That's what top astronomers will claim during a debate to end the 2011 Edinburgh International Science Festival.
世界的終結就在眼前，那就是頂級天文學家們將在辯論結束時聲稱的，於2011年愛丁堡國際科學節。
Lord Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal, believes civilisation has only a 50 per cent chance of surviving to 2100 without suffering a man-made catastrophe.
英國皇家天文學家馬丁里斯勳爵相信，到2100年文明只有百分之五十的倖存機會而沒有遭受人為的災難。
And the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, Professor John Brown, has an equally bleak outlook, fearing a random event from outer space is the most likely cause of our demise.
而蘇格蘭皇家天文學家約翰布朗教授也有同樣黯淡的前景，擔心一宗來自外太空的隨機事件，是我們的終止的最可能原因。
They will take to the stage to put forward their stark predictions in the discussion "Fire in the Sky: Cosmic Threats to Earth".
他們將在台上提出自己的嚴格預測，在“天空之火：宇宙對地球的威脅“的討論中。
Despite having widely differing views, these two titans of astronomy between them offer global warming, over-population, terrorism, an asteroid falling to earth and a solar blast as potential reasons to panic.
儘管有各種不同的意見，這兩位天文學的巨人在他們之間提供全球變暖、人口過多、恐怖主義、一顆小行星墜落地球和一太陽爆炸，作為恐慌的潛在理由。
Prof Brown told the Scotsman: "The threats Lord Rees and myself will be talking about are dangerous in different ways.
布朗教授告訴該蘇格蘭人：“我自己和里斯勳爵將談論的威脅，在不同的方式中都是危險的。
"Asteroids fall to earth on average 10-100 million years apart. It's been 65 million years since the last one, so one could happen next week to 60 million years from now.
“小行星落地球平均相距一千萬至一億年，自對上那次它已經是六千五百萬年了，所以未來一次會在下星期至六千萬年後發生。
"The probability in our lifetime is very small, making it low risk, high consequence.
“在我們有生之年的概率是非常小，使它低風險、高後果。
"There's more risk of a solar blast than an giant asteroid falling, but it would not have such high consequences."
“太陽風爆有更多的風險比起小行星降下，但它不會有這麼高的後果。“
Lord Rees said: "We can't rule out by mid-century a global political realignment heading to a stand-off between new superpowers, that could be handled less well or less luckily than the Cuban missile crisis was.
"Moreover, al-Qaeda-style terrorists might some day acquire a nuclear weapon.
"If they did, they would willingly detonate it in a city, killing tens of thousands of along with themselves, and millions would acclaim them as heroes."
