爱因斯坦假设:1905-2005证据的批判性评论
The Einstein Postulates: 1905-2005 A Critical Review of the Evidence
摘要:
爱因斯坦公设断言光在真空中的传播速度对于任何观察者都是不变性的,这相当于假定不存在任何优选框架。这些假设似乎与爱因斯坦的狭义相对论中出现的相对论效应直接相关,狭义相对论是基于平坦时空本体论的概念,然后导致了广义相对论及其弯曲的引力时空模型。虽然相对论效应在实验上得到了很好的证实,但现在已经知道,从1887年的迈克耳孙-莫雷实验开始的许多实验总是表明,这些假设本身是错误的,也就是说,存在一个可检测的局部优选参照系。这篇评论简要地回顾了关于假设失败的实验证据,以及对我们理解基础物理学,特别是对我们理解引力的影响。一个新的引力理论被认为是必要的,这导致了对“暗物质”效应的解释,从而发现精细结构常数是第二个引力常量。
英文摘要:
The Einstein postulates assert an invariance of the propagation speed of light in vacuum for any observer, and which amounts to a presumed absence of any preferred frame. The postulates appear to be directly linked to relativistic effects which emerge from Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, which is based upon the concept of a flat spacetime ontology, and which then lead to the General Theory of Relativity with its curved spacetime model for gravity. While the relativistic effects are well established experimentally it is now known that numerous experiments, beginning with the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, have always shown that the postulates themselves are false, namely that there is a detectable local preferred frame of reference. This critique briefly reviews the experimental evidence regarding the failure of the postulates, and the implications for our understanding of fundamental physics, and in particular for our understanding of gravity. A new theory of gravity is seen to be necessary, and this results in an explanation of the `dark matter' effect entailing the discovery that the fine structure constant is a 2nd gravitational constant.
