On Accounting for Electromagnetic Phenomena 2001 Feb 26
... aether . relativity . electromagnetism ... "Einstein resolved this contradiction in his argument for a (special) theory of relativity by the application of two hypotheses. Initially Einstein advanced the idea of the relativity of simultaneity and then as his coup de grace, introduced the Lorentz transformation, a mathematical supposition pioneered by Lorentz and Fitzgerald in the late 19th century intended to explain aether. Naturally Einstein's utilization of this mathematical contraction along with his premise on the non absolute nature of simultaneity resulted in constrictions of matter (measuring rods) and dilations in time (clocks) which innate logic aspires to deny. To some the resulting aberrations of time and matter are conceivably more unsettling than the original dilemma. To Einstein these anomalies of time and matter were an undeniable fact of nature and consistent with his elucidation of temporal law. In essence they provided the criterion for a plausible, albeit perplexing, solution to the problem. Notwithstanding the aforementioned solution, there may yet exist a means of reconciling these two seemingly irreconcilable realities without resorting to what could be portrayed as Professor Einstein's odyssey into the logic and mathematics of mystical reality." ※※※※※※ 换只角度看世界,世界更精彩! 欢迎大家到 http://newphysics.xilubbs.com来做客, 物理科学争鸣是敢于挑战权威的学子的家园 |
