直观地说，就是五万分之一的头发丝大小。所以纳米科学简单地说就是一种微小科学。我们都知道，世界万物都由原子组成。想象一下如果我们可以随意排列原子会发生什么呢？

To put it in more familiar terms, it's 1/50,000th of the size of a strand of hair. So nanoscience can simply be said to be a kind of microscience. We all know that the universe is composed of atoms. Imagine if we could arrange those atoms however we wished. What would happen then?

错了，错了。“‘道’可道，非常‘道’。”“道”如果可以说明白，解释清楚，那就不是“道��了。“道”是无形的、永恒的，是宇宙万物存在的法则。你不能用语言给它加一个名称。因为你叫它A，它就不是B了，你称它白，它就不是黑了。这不就让人误入歧途嘛！

That's incorrect. "The Dao can be understood, but not articulated." If you can explain the Dao and explain it clearly, then you have not explained the Dao. The Dao is intangible and perpetual; it is the law that binds all things that exist within the cosmos. You cannot use language to explain it, for if you call it A, then it is no longer B; if you call it white, then it is no longer black. This leads people astray!

Yeah, but it was only discussed as material for extra-curricular studies. At the time, I was already pretty interested in these ancient texts. The I Ching is actually a theoretical system for analyzing the universe and everything in it. Is that right, Professor Liu?

道”就是宇宙万物的本原。道教认为人的生命由元气组成，肉体是精神的载体。人通过修炼身体可以成仙，所以他们特别重视养生。

``The way" is the philosophical principle of all things in the universe. Taoism holds that human life is composed of a vital energy, and that the physical body is a vehicle for that energy. Through ascetic practices, people can become immortals, so they especially value the cultivation of long life.
