一个物理学家的宇宙观:一种哲学方法
A physicist's view of the universe: a philosophical approach
摘要:
毫无疑问,物理学中的许多问题是由于我们对世界的哲学概念而产生的。然而,在这篇文章中,我们试图通过提出一种哲学方法来缓解这种情况,在这种方法下,现代物理学中一些最基本的问题可能是虚构的。为了完成这个任务,我们提出,存在的一切都必须由\emph{matter}组成,它不仅构成空间和宇宙,而且还处于不断变化之中。因此,完全的空性和物质的不连续性的存在被拒绝。在这里,物理场被假定为一种特殊的物质状态。时间被理解为宇宙内在动力学的结果。此外,还讨论了宇宙的无限性,并简要提及了其含义,例如,守恒定律最后,物理定律的规律性受到质疑。概括地说,从物理学的角度,提出了四个有待深入研究的问题:(1)物质是什么?(2)为什么宇宙会改变?(3)宇宙是无限延伸的吗?(4)真的有规律的(不变的)物理定律吗?
英文摘要:
Without a doubt many problems in physics arise as a consequence of our philosophical conception of the world. In this contribution however we endeavor to alleviate this scenario by putting forward a philosophical approach under which some of the most fundamental problems in modern physics might turn out to be fictitious. To accomplish such task we propound that everything that exists must be made up of \emph{matter} which not only makes up space and the universe but also is in constant change. For such reason the existence of total emptiness and material discontinuity are rejected. Here physical fields are assumed as a particular state of matter. And time is understood as the result of the intrinsic dynamics of the universe. Furthermore, the infiniteness of the universe is also discussed and its implications are briefly mentioned, e.g., the laws of conservation. Finally, the regularity of the physical laws is questioned. In summary four great problems (from the perspective of physics) are suggested to be deeply studied: (1) What is matter?, (2) Why does the universe change? (3) is the universe infinite in extension? and (4) are there really regular (invariant) laws of physics?
