If, in fact, a gold nucleus was this size here, we would need to use another lecture hall in order to find a place to put this nucleus right here.

那么这个实验就太诡异了，所以我们决定,把距离压缩一下，我们要考虑到这一点。

The circuitous, logical route that we had to take in order to arrive at this new sense of Satan's size has everything to do with our status as temporally bound, temporally constrained readers.

我们需要经历一个迂回曲折的逻辑过程,来从新的意义上理解撒旦的高大,和我们目前处在的，作为世俗压制下的读者的地位，有着紧密的联系。

So basically, at the time he was just going on size and then traits, but what we actually know today is that we can also order things in the periodic table by electron configuration.

基本上，在当时他只能通过大小,和特性来进行，但是现在我们已经知道了,我们还可以通过电子排布来对它们进行排序。

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。
