So, it's Newtonian mechanics, and the reason for this is because Newtonian mechanics does not work on this very, very small size scale.

牛顿力学，因为牛顿力学,在这种很小的尺度下不适用,我们说过，牛顿力学。

And what he said was that when you get down to atomic length scales there are limits, there are constraints on our ability to observe.

讲的就是,当你去进入到原子长度的尺度中,我们的观察能力,有一定的限制条件。

Remember that these cells are relatively large compared to bacteria and so diffusion doesn't occur very quickly over this length scale.

要知道这些细胞相对细菌而言,还是比较大的,扩散作用在这种尺度上,发生得不是那么快

You've got to put more pressure on one side than the other if you want to push that gas through the throttle, right? So this is where the time scale issue comes into play.

如果你想让更多的气体通过节流阀,应该使一边的压强,大于另一边，是吗？所以这就是,时间尺度发挥作用的地方。

So, we need a new kind of mechanics, which is quantum mechanics, which will accurately explain the behavior of molecules on this small scale.

所以我们需要一种新的力学，也就是量子力学,来解释在这个,小尺度下分子的行为。

But there was an increase in discretionary spending And that's the problem, no question about that. -No The republicans sidled up to the troff... and it behaved like porkers Is that roughly what happened? -Yes.

话说回来，当时自由支出确实增长不少,这才是症结所在，这一点毫无疑问，-对吧,共和党一步一步放宽了尺度。,结果导致负债累累,大致原委是这样吧？，-没错。

If you took a 15 inch artillery shell moving at the velocity it typically goes at, and take that amount of kinetic energy versus the resistive capacity of a sheet of tissue paper, that's the scale that we're looking at here.

But once we got to the atomic size scale, what happens is we need to be taking into account the fact that matter has these wave-like properties, and we'll learn more about that later, but essentially classical mechanics does not take that into account at all.

但一到到了原子尺度量级，我们必须考虑到物质,这时候有波动性质,关于这点我们今后将会学到更多,但本质上经典力学并,没有考虑这个性质。

So, then we'll get to turn to a new kind of mechanics or quantum mechanics, which will in fact be able to describe what's happening on this very, very small size scale -- so on the atomic size scale on the order of nanometers or angstroms, very small particles.

然后我们要讲到一种,新的力学--量子力学,它可以解释,发生在很小尺度,大约是原子尺寸大小,也就是纳米或埃的量级。
