What makes string theory so elegant, is that it describes many different elementary particles as different modes of vibration of the string.

We thought they were the final layer of reality, until we smashed them together really hard and discovered things that can't be divided anymore: Elementary particles.

我们曾经认为它们就是世界的基本单元，直到我们将它们强力相撞，并发现了完全不可再切割的物质：基本粒子。

How strongly an elementary particle interacts with this Higgs field, as it came to be known, is what is commonly interpreted as its mass.

一个基本粒子与这个希格斯场相互作用的强度，正如人们所知， 通常被解释为它的质量。

And then the fundamental particle physicists, the elementary particle physicists realized we've been spending the past five decades trying to categorize the elementary particles of nature.

然后基本粒子物理学家，基本粒子物理学家意识到我们在过去的五年里一直在试图对自然的基本粒子进行分类。

I connect the very small -- elementary particles -- with the extremely large -- galaxies and galaxy clusters, and I'm a griot of the universe.

我将非常小的——基本粒子——与极大的——星系和星系团联系起来，我是宇宙的一员。

We might indeed expect to find several new layers of structure more basic than the quarks and electrons that we now regard as " elementary" particles.

我们可能确实期望找到比我们现在视为“基本”粒子的夸克和电子更基本的几个新结构层。

We can't see it, but it's still full of dust particles, water vapor, air molecules, and on a smaller scale, photons, electrons and other elementary particles.

我们看不到它，但它仍然充满尘埃颗粒、水蒸气、空气分子，以及更小规模的光子、电子和其他基本粒子。

Every atom is made from three kinds of elementary particles: protons, which have a positive electrical charge; electrons, which have a negative electrical charge; and neutrons, which have no charge.

带正电荷的质子，带负电荷的电子，以及不带电荷的中子。

The letters C in this abbreviation means conjugation of charges, that is each elementary particle has a twin with an opposite charge: antineutrons, electrons, anti electrons, or positrons, and so on.

字母 C 在这个缩写中的意思是电荷的共轭，即每个基本粒子都有一个带相反电荷的孪生体：反中子、电子、反电子或正电子等等。

This does not matter too much, because gravity is such a weak force that its effects can usually be neglected when we are dealing with elementary particles or atoms.

这无关紧要，因为引力是一种非常弱的力，当我们处理基本粒子或原子时，它的影响通常可以忽略不计。

In type 2 supernovae, about 1% of the energy consists of photons, which we know of as light, while 99% radiates out as neutrinos, the elementary particles that are known for rarely interacting with anything.

在 2 型超新星中，大约 1% 的能量由我们称之为光的光子组成，而 99% 的能量以中微子的形式辐射出去，中微子是众所周知的很少与任何物质相互作用的基本粒子。

(5)Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.

(5)虽然听起来很奇怪，但宇宙暴胀是基本粒子物理学中一些受人尊敬的想法在科学上合理的结果， 许多天体物理学家在十年的大部分时间里都相信这是真的。
