狭义相对论的诞生。“再写一篇关于这个主题的文章”

The birth of special relativity. "One more essay on the subject"

J. Reignier

摘要:

狭义相对论是在20世纪前夕发现的,但它的根源是19世纪人们对运动物体的光学和电磁学的理解。这些根源审查第1和第2部分,后者是专门致力于工作的洛伦兹和庞加莱到1904年。第三部分详细比较了爱因斯坦和庞加莱在1905年的著作。这表明,两位作者成功地构建了一个连贯的和完全相对论的理论,虽然他们的想法是从根本上不同的以太。在第四部分中,根据前面的分析和“1905年后”理论的发展,再次讨论了狭义相对论的三位潜在创始人(即洛伦兹、庞加莱和爱因斯坦)各自的优点问题。

英文摘要:

Special relativity was discovered at the eve of the century, but finds its roots in the 19th century efforts to understand the optics and electromagnetism of moving bodies. These roots are reviewed in Parts 1 and 2, the latter being specially devoted to the works of Lorentz and of Poincare up to 1904. Part 3 contains a detailed comparison of the works of Einstein and of Poincare in 1905. It is shown that both authors succeeded in constructing a coherent and fully relativistic theory, although their ideas about the ether were radically different. In Part 4, the question of the respective merits of the three potential fathers of special relativity (i.e. Lorentz, Poincare, Einstein) is discussed again, at the light of the preceding analysis and of the "post-1905" developments of the theory.
