At atomic length scale, limits on our ability to observe.

在原子长度问题上，我们的观察受限。

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。
