关于运动方程时间不对称性的注记

Note on the Time Reversal Asymmetry of Equations of Motion

H. D. Zeh

摘要:

Rohrlich最近声称点电荷的运动方程在时间反演下是对称的,这是一个不寻常的定义的结果。有限大小的带电球的运动方程,这与此相反,声称是不对称的,因为其(延迟)的自我力量的有限传播时间,被证明具有相同的不对称性(或相同的对称性,取决于定义)作为一个点电荷。类似的论点也适用于其他有效的运动方程(如描述摩擦或退相干的方程)。

英文摘要:

Rohrlich's recent claim that the equation of motion for a point charge be symmetric under time reversal is shown to be the result of an unusual definition. The equation of motion for a charged sphere of finite size, which in contrast is claimed to be asymmetric because of the finite propagation time of its (retarded) self-forces, is shown to possess the same asymmetry (or the same symmetry, depending on the definition) as that for a point charge. Similar arguments apply to other effective equations of motion (such as those describing friction or decoherence).
