单程光速测量原理及其实验方法

Theory of Measuring One-Way Speed of Light and Its Experimental Method

自伽利略提出双程光速测量原理以来,400年间人们一直未能进一步解决单程光速测量原理难题,其原因是由于人们陷入了测量单程光速必须引入另一已知速度的对钟信号来同步异地时钟的思维误区;尤其是爱因斯坦提出用光信号对钟和同时性的定义以后,人们在这一迷途上走得更远。在分析的基础上,笔者认为要解决这一问题必须另辟蹊径,并提出了一种全新的单程光速测量原理和实验方法。在这一原理中,把单向运行的光既作为被测速对象,又作为时间标准和对钟信号,从而使单程光速的测量和检验光速是否与方向有关成为可能。

The problem of establishing a theory of measuring the one-way speed of light has not yet been further tackled since Galileo proposed the theory of measuring the two-way speed of light 400 years ago. It is due to the fact that the people involved have been trapped into the misconception of the necessity of introducing another synchronizing signal with a known speed to synchronize the clocks at different positions in measuring the one-way speed, which has been pushed even further especially by Einstein, who proposed the definition of simultaneity and the idea of synchronizing the clocks at different positions by light signal. Based on the above analysis, the author thinks in order to solve this problem we must try to find some other way and proposes a completely new theory of measuring the one-way speed of light as well＇as an experiment method. Under this theory, the one-way traveling light is not only treated as the target of speed-measur- ing, but also functions as the timing standard and signal for synchronizing the two clocks at different positions, thus making it possible to measure the one-way speed of light and to test whether the light of speed is relevant to direction or not.
