Indeed, one gained a curious impression that this place had been deliberately closed and deserted in some dim, bygone aeon, rather than overwhelmed by any sudden calamity or even gradual decay.
Трудно было отделаться от впечатления, что город не бросили в спешке, застигнутые внезапной бедой, а покинули сознательно. И речи не могло идти постепенном вымирании.

On the other hand, if the expansion time scale were somehow lengthened, the only effect would be that more neutrons would decay into protons before nucleosynthesis occurs, so that less helium would be produced.
Наоборот, если бы временная шкала расширения каким-то образом удлинилась, единственным эффектом был бы распад большого числа нейтронов и соответственно образование меньшего количества гелия.
