论文摘要
自1959年第一个声明以来,贝尔太空飞船悖论一直促进了混乱和许多决议,其中包括基于洛伦兹收缩造成的相对论压力的决议。悖论是,从相同的参考框架开始并受到相同加速的约束,两艘船会捕捉连接它们的琴弦,即使它们的分离距离不会像从原始参考框架中测得的分离距离变化。本文使用一种简单的相对性方法来解决悖论,并解释弦乐的原因,以及如何调整加速度以避免捕捉弦。这样,就产生了对洛伦兹收缩的有趣的并行理解。该溶液也用于旋转以解决Ehrenfest悖论和轨道进动。
The Bell Spaceship Paradox has promoted confusion and numerous resolutions since its first statement in 1959, including resolutions based on relativistic stress due to Lorentz contractions. The paradox is that two ships, starting from the same reference frame and subject to the same acceleration, would snap a string that connected them, even as their separation distance would not change as measured from the original reference frame. This paper uses a Simple Relativity approach to resolve the paradox and explain both why the string snaps, and how to adjust accelerations to avoid snapping the string. In doing so, an interesting parallel understanding of the Lorentz contraction is generated. The solution is applied to rotation to address the Ehrenfest paradox and orbital precession as well.
