第五章 狭义相对论 |
|
(Special Relativity) |
|
| 相对论由爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein)创立。1905年,26岁的爱因斯坦,发表了《论运动物体的电动力学》这 | |
| 篇划时代的论文,向世人宣告:狭义相对论诞生了! | ![]() |
| 相对论包括两大部分: | |
| v狭义相对论(special relativity)(1905): | |
| 揭示了时间、空间与运动的关系。 | |
| v广义相对论(general relativity)(1915-1916): | |
| 揭示了时间、空间与引力的关系。 |
|
| 本章的重点是狭义相对论的时空观。 | (图一) 爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein) |
