爱因斯坦的时钟概念和时钟悖论

Einstein's concept of a clock and clock paradox

Wang Guowen

摘要:

给出了洛伦兹变换的几何图解。根据时间和空间的相似性以及尺子和时钟的对应性,就像运动尺子的刻度数一样,运动时钟的刻度数与其相对速度无关,因此在洛伦兹变换下是不变的。因此,时钟的指针永远不会慢下来,但它的两个连续滴答声之间的时间间隔会缩短。因此,这是爱因斯坦的概念减慢的手移动时钟创造时钟悖论或孪生悖论。遗憾的是,爱因斯坦所保留的时钟概念与他所拒绝的牛顿的绝对时间概念是等价的。这是爱因斯坦完美的狭义相对论中的一个瑕疵。

英文摘要:

A geometric illustration of the Lorentz transformations is given. According to similarity between space and time and correspondence between a ruler and a clock, like the division number in a moving ruler, the tick number of a moving clock is independent of its relative speed and hence invariant under the Lorentz transformations. So the hand of the moving clock never runs slow but the time interval between its two consecutive ticks contracts. Thus it is Einstein's concept of slowing of the hands of moving clocks to create the clock paradox or twin paradox. Regrettably, the concept of the clock that Einstein retained is equivalent to Newton's concept of absolute time that he rejected. This is a blemish in Einstein's otherwise perfect special relativity.
