Wait, so atoms are like a surprise egg for physicists?

等等，所以说子就像是的惊喜蛋？

And there have been a bunch of examples of that around quantum mechanics, around, I mean, even just electricity, subatomic physics, the discovery of antimatter, you know, is now, like, people get PET scans, right?

而在量子力、甚至仅仅是电、亚子以及反质的发现方面，有很多例子。你知道，现在人们会做PET扫描，对吧？

Around the turn of the 20th century, action popped up as the key part of a solution to one of the biggest problems in atomic physics at the time.

在 20 世纪初，作用成为解决当时子中最大问题之一的关键部分。

For Neil Cloud, atomic physicist, knew his lightning, and he was taking no chances whatever with the safety of his lovely wife and their three wonderful kids.

对于尼尔·克劳德这位子说， 他对闪电了如指掌，绝不会在心爱的妻子和三个可爱的孩子安全问题上冒任何风险。

They're all following a path pioneered by the National Ignition Facility, or NIF, an American government project to study the physics of atomic weapons.

他们都在沿着国点火装置 (National Ignition Facility, NIF) 开创的道路前进，NIF 是美国政府研究子武器的一个项目。

Using her knowledge of atomic physics, she determined the abundances of 18 elements found in the spectra of many different stars.

利用她在子方面的知识，她确定了在许多不同恒星光谱中发现的18种元素的丰度。

Catherine Klauss, an atomic physicist and science writer, compares that process to cleaning up a messy desk.

凯瑟琳·克拉乌斯， 一位子和科作，将这个过程比作整杂乱的书桌。

Well, atomic physicist Julian Krauth with the Max Planck Institute says these sorts of measurements can help refine our most basic ideas about how atoms work—like the theory of quantum electrodynamics.

好吧，马克斯·普朗克研究所的子朱利安·克拉特说， 这类测量可以帮助完善我们关于子工作的基本概念， 比如量子电动力。

And that is how Storm Cloud, atomic physicist, became the most narrowly specialized specialist in all the annals of science.

于是，子斯托姆·克劳德便成为了科史上专攻领域最为狭窄的专。

The reason is that atomic and nuclear physics is one of the great achievements of our age.

因是子和核是我们这个时代的伟大成就之一。

And now, Neil Cloud, atomic physicist, sat at his desk in a strained, dull apathy.

此刻，子尼尔·克劳德坐在桌前，陷入了紧张而麻木的漠然之中。

And to Neil Cloud, atomic physicist sitting there at his desk in torn, despairing abstraction with black maggots of thought gnawing holes in his brain, the catastrophe was doubly galling because of its cruel irony.

对于尼尔·克劳德这位子而言， 这场灾难因其残酷的讽刺而倍感苦涩。 他正坐在破旧的书桌前，陷入绝望的沉思， 脑海中如黑色蛆虫般的思绪不断啃噬着他的智。 而更令他痛苦的是，他竟是子研究实验室中仅次于顶层的人。

How he became Storm Cloud, Vortex Blaster, the galaxy's only Vortex Blaster.

这便是斯托姆·克劳德，子，如何成为科史上最为专精的专。他如何蜕变为斯托姆·克劳德，旋涡破坏者，银河系中独一无二的旋涡破坏者。
