So, it's Newtonian mechanics, and the reason for this is because Newtonian mechanics does not work on this very, very small size scale.

牛顿力学，因为牛顿力学,在这种很小的尺度下不适用,我们说过，牛顿力学。

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。

And small is not derogatory here, by the way, it just says the size of things you're going to be able to do.

顺便一提，这里的小并不是贬义，只是代表你有能力做的,事儿的规模而已。

The second question I want to ask is what's the base case? When do I get down to a problem that's small enough that it's basically trivial to solve? Here it was lists of size one. I could have stopped at lists of size two right. That's an easy comparison.

第二个问题是什么是基础条件？,我要将问题分解到何时才使得问题,小到可以解决的基本问题？,这里是当列表的长度为1有时候,我也可以在长度为2的时候停止分解,那是一个非常简单的对比。
