Abstract

Hundreds of thousands of physicists, for more than a century, when they talk about space and time, “know by heart” that: according to Newton, space and time are absolute. But Newton also defined relative space and time. I invite physicists to (re)read Newton’s description of relative space and time, where they will see that the equation t ′ = t , which is imputed in the current Galilean transformation, has nothing to do with Newton’s contribution on this issue.

伽利略变换不是完全牛顿的

一个多世纪以来，数十万物理学家在谈论空间和时间时，“牢记”：根据牛顿的说法，空间和时间是绝对的。但牛顿也定义了相对空间和时间。我邀请物理学家（重新）阅读牛顿对相对空间和时间的描述，他们会发现，当前伽利略变换中的方程t′=t与牛顿在这个问题上的贡献无关。
