One of the strangest things modern atomic theory has shownus is that what we commonly take to be the world of solidobjects is for the most part empty space.

现代原子带给我们最大惊奇是，通常被认为是固体东西其实大部分都是空隙。

And the whole thing eventually lead to this atomic theory.

整个过程最终导致了这个原子。

Well you should have learned, that was my intent, that the ratio of masses in a pure sample is identical on the basis of atomic theory.

那么你应该已经知道了， 这就是我目，即根据原子， 本中质量比是相同。

Apart from the special form of the atomic theory which was invented for the needs of chemistry, some kind of atomism dominated the whole of traditional dynamics, and was implied in every statement of its laws and axioms.

除了为化学需要而发明殊形式原子外，某种原子支配着整个传统动力学，并隐含在其定律和每一个陈述中。

You know, we should be spending money on interdimensional travel and we can unlock it if we – and I said to him like – and he makes the point, you know, that all the atomic theory

我们应该把钱花在跨维度旅行上， 如果我们——我曾这对他说——他指出，所有原子， 你知道，它开启了核时代， 而这也可能导致行星毁灭。

Daltons's atomic theory began when he expanded French chemist's Joseph Louis Proust's Law of Definite Proportions, to develop the Law of Multiple Proportions, which says elements combine in simple, whole number ratios of their masses.

道尔顿原子始于他对法国化学家约瑟夫·路易·普鲁斯定比定律扩展，从而提出了倍比定律，该定律指出元素以简单整数质量比相结合。

Thus, this second paper of 1905 was a major contribution to humanity's acceptance of the existence of atoms and molecules and the emergence of atomic theory as the basis of much of twentieth-century physics.

因此，1905年这篇第二篇文对人类接受原子和分子存在以及原子作为20世纪物学基础出现做出了重大贡献。

I know, you aren't shocked, you aren't awed, you might not even be paying attention any more, but when atomic theory was first proposed, it sounded pretty crazy.

我知道，你不震惊，不敬畏，你甚至可能不再关注，但当原子首次被提出时， 听起来很疯狂。

Atomic Theory We might think of atomic theory as a new scientific development, but it has floated around  the scientific community for centuries.

7. 原子 我们可能认为原子是一种新科学发展，但它已经在科学界流传了几个世纪。

Modern atomic theory was spearheaded by an Englishman named John Dalton back at the very start of the 19th century.

现代原子是由一位名叫约翰·道尔顿英国人在19世纪初提出。

Atomic theory probed the nature of the atom, and more and more detailed descriptions of the atom were developed.

原子探究了原子本质，并且发展出了越来越详细原子描述。

And he was presenting at a conference in 1803 when he put forward his Dalton's atomic theory.

1803 年, 他在一次会议上提出道尔顿原子。

These purely theoretical concepts led the way to  atomic theory and the unfulfilled biology field.

这些概念引领了原子和未实现生物学领域。

– I might say – quite elegant understanding of atomic theory.

– 我可能会说 – 对原子相当优雅解。

And so mass spectrometry is a way that we can modify Dalton's atomic theory.

因此，质谱法是我们修改道尔顿原子一种方法。

Although he contributed much to science  during his life, his work on atomic theory influenced how science developed and  eventually led modern scientists to explore the implications of atoms in our world today.

尽管他一生对科学做出了巨大贡献，但他在原子方面工作影响了科学发展，并最终引导现代科学家探索原子对当今世界影响。
