暗能量:回到牛顿?
Dark Energy: back to Newton?
摘要:
暗能量是目前科学界最大的谜团之一。在这篇文章中,这个概念的起源可以追溯到十七世纪的牛顿和胡克。牛顿认为,随着平方反比定律,吸引力随距离线性变化。在这个项和爱因斯坦的宇宙学常数λ之间可以建立一个直接的联系,这导致了λ和宇宙总质量之间可能的关系。马赫对爱因斯坦的影响进行了讨论,并在过去90年里连贯地提出了错综复杂的历史。
英文摘要:
Dark Energy is currently one of the biggest mysteries in science. In this article the origin of the concept is traced as far back as Newton and Hooke in the seventeenth century. Newton considered, along with the inverse square law, a force of attraction that varies linearly with distance. A direct link can be made between this term and Einstein's cosmological constant, Lambda, and this leads to a possible relation between Lambda and the total mass of the universe. Mach's influence on Einstein is discussed and the convoluted history of Lambda throughout the last ninety years is coherently presented.
