A cepheid 's distance can thus be calculated with great accuracy .

由此我们可以精确测量一颗造父变星的距离。

That would be enough to heat the core slightly and this heating would , in turn , accelerate the cepheid 's pulse rate .

这将足于稍微加热星核，而其温度上升将随之加速“造父变星”的脉动率。

Time the beam right and the star could be turned , in effect , into an fm transmitter-broadcasting to the universe on the underlying carrier-wave of the cepheid 's pulsation .

精确调制中微子束实际上能够将这些恒星变成fm发射器，使用造父变星的脉冲作为基础载波对整个宇宙进行广播。
