狭义相对论如何重新解释迈克尔逊-莫雷实验

How the Michelson and Morley experiment was reinterpreted by special relativity

Alejandro Cassini, Leonardo Levinas

AI总结:

本文通过分析狭义相对论对迈克尔逊-莫雷实验的重新解释,说明不同理论假设会导致对同一实验的不同概念化,并揭示该理论因关联光速不变性这一新现象而胜出的原因。

摘要:

我们阐明不同的理论假设如何导致对同一实验结果产生截然不同的解释。我们通过分析最初表述的狭义相对论来做到这一点。然后,我们考察该理论与迈克尔逊-莫雷实验结果之间的关系。我们指出,在不同的历史背景下,同一个实验可以被认为提供了对现象的不同概念化。这证明了为什么狭义相对论胜过其竞争理论。该理论通过将实验与一种新现象——即光速不变性——联系起来,对实验作出了新的重新解释,而这一现象并非最初所研究的现象。这使我们理解了这个实验在一个完全不同的历史背景下本可能如何被解释。

英文摘要:

We elucidate how different theoretical assumptions bring about radically different interpretations of the same experimental result. We do this by analyzing special relativity as it was originally formulated. Then, we examine the relationship of the theory with the result of the Michelson and Morley experiment. We point out that in diverse a historical context the same experiment can be thought of as providing different conceptualizations of phenomena. This demonstrates why special relativity prevailed over its rival theories. This theory made a new reinterpretation of the experiment by associating it with a novel phenomenon, namely, the invariance of the speed of light, a phenomenon that was not the one originally investigated. This leads us to an understanding of how this experiment could have been interpreted in a completely different historical context.
