论文摘要
F. Selleri关于恢复物理中绝对同时性的主要论点被分析并证明是错误的。尤其是经典的Sagnac效应和最近的所谓线性Sagnac效应都可以自然而然地在特殊的相对论中处理。同时论文的常规性的吸引力也被证明是无效的。简要审查了其他参数,例如两个太空飞船的论点和阻止宇宙参数。尽管总体评估负面评估,但仍强调了对相对性基础的研究的重要性,并在这项事业中的作用得到了赞赏。
F. Selleri's main arguments for the restoration of absolute simultaneity in physics are analysed and shown to be faulty. In particular both the classical Sagnac effect and the recent so-called linear Sagnac effect can be dealt with within special relativity in a natural way. The appeal to the conventionality of simultaneity thesis is also shown to be ineffectual. Other arguments, such as the two spaceships' argument and the block universe argument are briefly examined. Notwithstanding a negative overall assessment, the importance of keeping alive the research on the foundations of relativity is emphasized and Selleri's role in this undertaking appreciated.
