Worldtubes的时间和现实
Time and Reality of Worldtubes
摘要：
在这篇文章中，致力于一百周年的赫尔曼闵可夫斯基的谈话“空间和时间”，我认为，物理学家应该面对的现实问题的时空和世界管的物理对象有两个原因。首先，这个问题并不像有些人认为的那样是一个哲学问题，因为运动学上的特殊相对论效应是不可能的，正如将要证明的那样，如果涉及这些效应的物理对象并不作为四维世界管存在的话。第二，考虑到世界管是真实的四维物体，这提供了一个意想不到的洞察力，可以洞察惯性的起源，作用在引力场中支撑的物体上的力的性质，甚至可能是量子物体的性质。
英文摘要：
In this essay, dedicated to the one hundredth anniversary of Hermann Minkowski's talk "Space and Time", I argue that physicists should face the issue of the reality of spacetime and worldtubes of physical objects for two reasons. First, this issue is not a philosophical question, as some appear to think, since the kinematical special relativistic effects would be impossible, as will be demonstrated, if the physical objects involved in these effects did not exist as four-dimensional worldtubes. Second, taking into account that worldtubes are real four-dimensional objects provides an unexpected insight into the origin of inertia, the nature of the force acting on a body supported in a gravitational field, and possibly even the nature of quantum objects.
