从牛顿到爱因斯坦：狭义相对论的诞生
From Newton to Einstein: the birth of Special Relativity
摘要：
物理学在20世纪初处于危机之中，因为新生的麦克斯韦电磁学挑战了机械论的先入之见。阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦明白，要解决这场危机，就需要大胆地重新定义空间和时间的概念。狭义相对论深刻地改变了我们看待空间和时间的方式，以使电磁学与相对性原理相协调。结果，长度和经过的时间被剥夺了经典物理学赋予它们的不变性质;取而代之的是，光速获得了这种特权地位。这种革命性的变化迫使爱因斯坦重新表述牛顿力学，这一步使他发现了质能等价性。
英文摘要：
Physics was in crisis at the beginning of the twentieth century because the newborn Maxwell's electromagnetism defied mechanistic preconceptions. Albert Einstein understood that the solution to the crisis required an audacious reworking of the concepts of space and time. Special Relativity deeply modified our way of regarding space and time, in order to harmonize electromagnetism with the principle of relativity. As a consequence, lengths and elapsed times were stripped of the invariant character that classical Physics conferred them; in their place, the speed of light acquired that privileged status. Such revolutionary change forced Einstein to reformulate Newtonian mechanics, a step that led him to discover the mass-energy equivalence.
