摘要

光的本质、磁的存在以及真空的物理意义，这些问题与哲学有着如此深刻的联系，以至于人们已经讨论了数千年。在这篇论文中，我们把注意力集中在一个与它们三个有关的问题上:当磁场存在时，真空中的光速会改变吗?这个基本问题的实验答案，虽然已经用现代术语表述了一个多世纪，但至今还没有给出。为了充分理解这个问题在物理学中的重要性，我们从历史的角度来回顾主要的事实和概念。

On the speed of light in a vacuum in the presence of a magnetic field

The nature of light, the existence of magnetism, and the physical meaning of a vacuum are the problems so deeply related to philosophy that they have been discussed for thousands of years. In this paper, we concentrate ourselves on a question that concerns the three of them: does light speed in a vacuum change when a magnetic field is present? The experimental answer to this fundamental question has not yet been given even if it has been stated in modern terms for more than a century. To fully understand the importance of such a question in physics, we review the main facts and concepts from the historical point of view.

期刊介绍： The purpose of this journal is to catalyse, foster, and disseminate an awareness and understanding of the historical development of ideas in contemporary physics, and more generally, ideas about how Nature works. The scope explicitly includes: - Contributions addressing the history of physics and of physical ideas and concepts, the interplay of physics and mathematics as well as the natural sciences, and the history and philosophy of sciences, together with discussions of experimental ideas and designs - inasmuch as they clearly relate, and preferably add, to the understanding of modern physics. - Annotated and/or contextual translations of relevant foreign-language texts. - Careful characterisations of old and/or abandoned ideas including past mistakes and false leads, thereby helping working physicists to assess how compelling contemporary ideas may turn out to be in future, i.e. with hindsight.
