摘要

麦克斯韦方程可以成功地扩展到具有三个复值分量而非通常的三个实值分量的电磁场。这里探讨了将虚值分量解释为延伸到时间而非空间的含义。复值麦克斯韦方程与原始麦克斯韦方程及其预测的实验结果保持一致。此外,扩展方程还预言了一些新现象,如电磁波的存在,这些电磁波不仅在规则空间中传播,而且还在单独的时间空间(时间)中传播,而时间空间是由场的三个虚值分量所暗示的。在真空中,这些虚值波的一部分以与静止在空间中的观察者相同的速度在时间中传播。虽然虚值场分量无法直接观测到,但分析表明,根据特殊情况下出现的次生效应,它们应该可以通过实验间接检测到。由于所涉及的重大理论和实践影响,我们有必要进行实验研究,试图证伪或支持延伸到时间中的复值电磁场的存在。

Maximizing the symmetry of Maxwell’s equations
Maxwell’s equations can be successfully extended to electromagnetic fields having three complex-valued components rather than their usual three real-valued components. Here the implications of interpreting the imaginary-valued components as extending into time rather than space are explored. The complex-valued Maxwell equations remain consistent with the original Maxwell equations and the experimental results that they predict. Further, the extended equations predict novel phenomena such as the existence of electromagnetic waves that propagate not only through regular space but also through a separate temporal space (time) that is implied by the three imaginary components of the fields. In a vacuum, part of these imaginary valued waves propagates through time at the same rate as an observer stationary in space. While the imaginary valued field components are not directly observable, analysis indicates that they should be indirectly detectable experimentally based on secondary effects that occur under special circumstances. Experimental investigation attempting to falsify or support the existence of complex valued electromagnetic fields extending into time is merited due to the substantial theoretical and practical implications involved.
