伽利略的双星:“证明”地球不动的实验

Galileo's Double Star: The Experiment That "Proved" the Earth Did Not Move

Christopher M. Graney

摘要:

伟大的机会出现教学物理学,天文学,和他们的历史时,新的发现,涉及概念,学生在各个层面上访问。这样一个机会目前存在的事实,即伽利略写的笔记表明,他观察到双星开阳星在“北斗七星”最近曝光。他对这颗恒星的测量,考虑到当时的科学知识,强烈支持地球在太空中固定不动的理论。如果伽利略公布了这些结果,科学界对日心说的广泛接受可能会大大推迟。根据这些笔记,他后来在他的对话中提到使用双星作为证明地球在运动的手段是令人费解的。伽利略工作背后的物理学和数学很容易在物理学和天文学入门课程的学生接触到,所以伽利略的Mizar工作及其有趣的含义的讨论几乎可以在任何课程中使用。

英文摘要:

Great opportunities arise for teaching physics, astronomy, and their histories when new discoveries are made that involve concepts accessible to students at every level. Such an opportunity currently exists thanks to the fact that notes written by Galileo indicating that he observed the double star Mizar in the "Big Dipper" have recently come to light. His measurements of this star, given the scientific knowledge at the time, strongly supported the theory that the Earth was fixed in space and not moving. Had Galileo published these results, it is likely that widespread acceptance of the heliocentric theory in scientific circles would have been significantly delayed. In light of these notes, his later reference in his Dialogue to using double stars as a means of proving that the Earth was in motion is puzzling. The physics and mathematics behind Galileo's work is easily within reach of students in introductory physics and astronomy courses, so discussion of Galileo's Mizar work and its interesting implications can be used in virtually any class.
