Science, meanwhile, was about to get a new age of its own—the atomic one.

与此同, 即将迎来自己的新代 - - 原子代。

As film critic Darren Mooney wrote in his review of Oppenheimer: " Before the atomic age, the universe was understood through Newtonian physics."

正如影评人达伦·穆尼在他对奥本海默的评论中所写的那样：“在原子代之前，人们通过牛顿理来理解宇宙。”

Indeed, the awg has proposed that the subsequent spike in plutonium-an element which was vanishingly rare before the atomic age-should serve as the " primary marker" for the beginning of the Anthropocene.

事实上，人类世工作组已经提出，钚(一种在原子代之前非常罕见的元素)随后的峰值应该作为人类世开始的“主”。

In this episode, we're talking with a nuclear historian about the new Christopher Nolan blockbuster, Oppenheimer, a film about one of the most complex and tragic figures of the early atomic age.

在本期节目中，我们将与一位核历史家讨论克里斯托弗·诺兰的最新大片《奥本海默》。这部电影讲述了早期原子代最复杂、最可悲的人之一的故事。
