摘要

奥地利物理学家路德维希·玻尔兹曼（1844-1906）被麦克斯韦方程组的美丽所感动，脱口而出：“战争在Gott， der diese Zeichen schrieb?”（写这些神迹的是神吗？）他的表达并不是原创的（借用自歌德的《浮士德》），但正如许多物理学家所证明的那样，这种观点是正确的。2004年诺贝尔物理学奖得主弗兰克·威尔切克（Frank Wilczek）在关于麦克斯韦方程组的文章中写道，这种情况“有了自己的生命，两个场像一对一样跳舞，相互激励”。威尔切克在接受德国《明镜周刊》（Der Spiegel）采访时表示，超越电磁学，放眼整个世界，“世界是一件艺术品，按照一种非常独特的风格制作而成。”我发现特别引人注目的是对称的突出作用。

Is Beauty Truth? [Turnstile]

Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) was so moved by the beauty of Maxwell’s equations that he blurted out [2]: “War es ein Gott, der diese Zeichen schrieb?” (Was it a god who wrote these signs?) His expression was not original (borrowed from Goethe’s Faust) but the sentiment was spot on as many physicists since have attested to. Frank Wilczek, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics, writing about Maxwell’s equations, said that the situation “takes on a life of its own, with the fields dancing as a pair, each inspiring the other” [2]. Going beyond electromagnetics and looking at the world at large, Wilczek told the German magazine Der Spiegel in an interview that “the world is a piece of art, produced according to a very peculiar style. What I find particularly striking is the outstanding role of symmetry” [2].

期刊介绍： IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
