论文摘要
康德和黑格尔是指导这些天我们推理的方式的哲学家。因此,看到如何沿着康德和黑格尔线发展出来的物理理论是令人感兴趣的。爱因斯坦对事物似乎如何转移观察者感兴趣。量子力学也是观察者依赖的科学。然后,问题是量子力学和相对论是否可以合成一门科学。量子场理论的当前形式是一个很好的例子。但是,该理论基于散射矩阵的算法,在偏远的过去和偏远的将来,所有参与的粒子都是免费的。因此,我们还需要一种洛伦兹 - 融合的结合状态理论,该理论将解决氢原子如何看待移动观察者的问题。然后,问题是,这种结合状态的洛伦兹 - 融合理论是否可以与田间理论合成为洛伦兹 - 融合的量子力学。本文回顾了沿这条线取得的进展。这种综合的康德锤过程以美国人实行民主的方式来说明。
Kant and Hegel are among the philosophers who are guiding the way in which we reason these days. It is thus of interest to see how physical theories have been developed along the line of Kant and Hegel. Einstein became interested in how things appear to moving observers. Quantum mechanics is also an observer-dependent science. The question then is whether quantum mechanics and relativity can be synthesized into one science. The present form of quantum field theory is a case in point. This theory however is based on the algorithm of the scattering matrix where all participating particles are free in the remote past and in the remote future. We thus need, in addition, a Lorentz-covariant theory of bound state which will address the question of how the hydrogen atom would look to moving observers. The question is then whether this Lorentz-covariant theory of bound states can be synthesized with the field theory into a Lorentz-covariant quantum mechanics. This article reviews the progress made along this line. This integrated Kant-Hegel process is illustrated in terms of the way in which Americans practice their democracy.
