论《墨经》光量子的初步概念

On the Preliminary Concepts of Optical Quantum in"Mohist Canon"

《墨经》是墨学发展到高级阶段的理论硕果,是微型的百科全书,从传世各类手工业技巧,到总结提升各门自然科学知识,是中国古代科学的重镇,启示墨子号量子卫星的创新发明。《墨经》有系统的几何光学知识,把数学、物理学与光学知识综合贯通,提出“端”范畴。“端”范畴的数学意义,指“点”,物理学意义,指“微粒”,光学意义,相当于初步的“光量子”概念。

"Mohist Canon"is an advanced-stage theoretical fruit of Mohism,an ancient Chinese classic.It is a micro-encyclopedia which summarizes and enhances a variety of natural sciences from the angle of all kinds of handicraft industry passed on from generation to generation,and hence a heavy-load scientific fruit of ancient China,shedding light on the innovative invention of quantum satellites.It is argued that Mohist Canon is characterized with systematic geometry knowledge and a comprehensive integration of math,physics and optics.The"end","point"and"particle"categories have mathematical,physic,and optical meanings respectively;in another word the preliminary"optical quantum"concept came into being.
