广义相对论中杆和钟的行为以及度规场的意义

The behaviour of rods and clocks in general relativity, and the meaning of the metric field

Harvey R Brown

摘要:

广义相对论中的度规场可以被理解为时空的一种性质,这一概念基于该理论的一个有时被称为万有耦合的特征--即杆和钟以一种与它们的构成无关的方式“测量”度规。有人指出,这一特征并不是严格的理论的中心动力学原则的结果,并认为度规场最好被视为时空中的一个(可能是涌现的)场,而不是时空本身的结构。

英文摘要:

The notion that the metric field in general relativity can be understood as a property of space-time rests on a feature of the theory sometimes called universal coupling -- the claim that rods and clocks "measure" the metric in a way that is independent of their constitution. It is pointed out that this feature is not strictly a consequence of the central dynamical tenets of the theory, and argued that the metric field would better be regarded as a (possibly emergent) field in space-time, rather than as the very fabric of space-time itself.
