论狭义相对论中的粒子质量和能量本体论
On the Ontology of Particle Mass and Energy in Special Relativity
摘要:
爱因斯坦声称,狭义相对论的基本动力学观点是质量和能量的等效性。我不同意不仅质量和能量不相等(不管这究竟意味着什么),而且这种相等的说法掩盖了狭义相对论真正的动力学见解,狭义相对论更普遍地关注4-力和相互作用的性质。在本文中,我提出并捍卫一个新的本体论的特殊相对论粒子动力学,使这种洞察力明晰,我解释如何所谓的情况下,质量-能量转换可以容纳在本体论。
英文摘要:
Einstein claimed that the fundamental dynamical insight of special relativity was the equivalence of mass and energy. I disagree. Not only are mass and energy not equivalent (whatever exactly that means) but talk of such equivalence obscures the real dynamical insight of special relativity, which concerns the nature of 4-forces and interactions more generally. In this paper I present and defend a new ontology of special relativistic particle dynamics that makes this insight perspicuous and I explain how alleged cases of mass-energy conversion can be accommodated within that ontology.
