简析爱因斯坦创建狭义相对论的思路

The Inimitable Thoughts of Einstein about the Creation of Special Relativity

回顾20世纪初科学的历史进程,在1905年爱因斯坦的划时代论文———《论动体的电动力学》发表之前,已经有一些科学家(如洛伦兹、庞加莱等人)得到了狭义相对论的一些结论,走到了狭义相对论的边缘,但是他们最终却没能创建一个全新的理论体系.本文主要回顾洛伦兹、庞加莱等人在1905年前得到的关于狭义相对论的一些理论成果,分析爱因斯坦创建狭义相对论的基本思路,以纪念狭义相对论建立100周年.

In the history of the physical development at the beginning of 20 century, some scientists, such as Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, Henri Poincar6, hand got some conclusions of special relativity before Albert Einstein＇s epoch-making paper ——“the electromotion mechanics of moving objects” published. They approached the theory of relativity, but they didn＇t creat a new system. This paper retrospects some conclusions of special relativity made by Lorentz and Poincaré and analyses the inimitable creation thoughts of Einstein about special relativity. The main aims of this paper are to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of special relativity and hope to give some help in the creative thinking.
