作为其动力学发展的基本领域,牛顿假定绝对空间的存在,物体在其中天生具有绝对速度。尽管如此,牛顿认为,虽然绝对属性是真实的,但无法检测到。从那时起,在这样一个牛顿宇宙中绝对速度无法检测的说法已被普遍接受。在此,我们表明,从牛顿本人提出的观点开始,支持这种说法的标准论点存在问题。我们得出结论,没有正式理由相信在牛顿宇宙中绝对速度无法检测。
英文摘要
As a fundamental arena for the development of his dynamics, Newton postulated the existence of absolute space, in which bodies innately possess absolute velocity. Despite this, Newton argued that, although real, absolute properties cannot be detected. Since then, the claim that absolute velocity would be undetectable in such a Newtonian universe has been generally accepted. Here, we show that standard arguments for such a claim, beginning with the one offered by Newton himself, beg the question. We conclude that there are no formal reasons to believe that absolute velocity would be undetectable in a Newtonian universe.
