反直觉的宇宙

The Counterintuitive Universe

B. G. Sidharth

摘要:

物理学的主要进步是通过反直觉的突破--那些似乎与主流信念背道而驰的想法。在二十世纪,狭义相对论和广义相对论以及量子力学为这一过程提供了很好的例子。然而,20世纪的物理学已经陷入了僵局,其中一个最重要的未解决的问题是引力与其他相互作用的统一。这导致了物理学的另一个神圣原则,即,时空是光滑的流形,在最新的方法中受到质疑,无论是量子超弦还是其他量子引力和类似的理论。特别是时空所描述的普朗克尺度振荡器的基础进行了研究。

英文摘要:

The major advances in physics have been through counterintuitive breakthroughs-- ideas that seemed to go against prevailing convictions. In the twentieth century the Special and General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics have provided very good examples of this process. However, twentieth century physics has led to an impasse, one of the most important unsolved problems being the unification of gravitation with other interactions. This has led to another sacred tenet of physics, viz., spacetime as a smooth manifold, being questioned in latest approaches, be it Quantum Super Strings or other Quantum Gravity and similar theories. In particular spacetime described by an underpinning of Planck scale oscillators is investigated.
