支持抽象关系时空作为基础而不反对涌现的教条主义

Supporting Abstract Relational Space-Time as Fundamental without Doctrinism against Emergence

Sascha Vongehr

摘要:

现代物理学,通过希格斯机制和弦论的标准模型,提供了类似以太的模型和涌现的广义相对论场景,大大削弱了正统相对论和抽象的、关系的一般时空的通常辩护。十几个参数支持相对主义反对空间物质进行了讨论。我们不知道感知到的时空是基本的,还是由于凝聚态或弦理论膜。突现相对论也许表明了一整座更基本的时空之塔。空间究竟是作为一种事物、一种突现现象,还是作为康德所认为的一切现象的可能性的必然的、先验的先决条件,这取决于我们所考虑的是哪一个时空。然而,时空从根本上来说是抽象的关系。支持这一点的是,自始至终承认并说明了空间-物质模型的价值,但仍然在最深层次上拒绝它们。要点是,即使拒绝,物理学和哲学从以太概念中获得的收益也比直接拒绝它们要多。

英文摘要:

Modern physics, via the standard model with Higgs mechanism and string theory for example, has supplied ether-like models and emergent general relativity scenarios that substantially weaken the usual defense of orthodox relativity and abstract, relational space-time in general. Over a dozen arguments in support of relativism against space-substances are discussed. It is not known whether perceived space-time is fundamental or due to a condensed state or string theoretical membrane. Emergent relativity indicates perhaps a whole tower of more fundamental space-times. Whether space is best described as a thing, an emergent phenomenon, or instead Kant's necessary, a priori pre-condition of the possibility of all phenomena, depends on which space-time is under consideration. Nevertheless, space-time is fundamentally abstract relational. This is supported by throughout acknowledging as well as illustrating the value of space-substance models, yet still keeping firm in refusing them on the deepest level. The gist is that even while refusing, physics and philosophy gain more from ether concepts than from plainly refusing them.
