论文摘要
由标志性的公式$ e = mc^2 $总结的特殊相对性揭示的质量与能量之间的紧密联系彻底改变了我们对自然的理解,甚至通过其军事应用塑造了过去一个世纪的政治世界。它当然是现代科学的最详尽和著名的方程之一。尽管我们已经习惯了它最明显的含义 - 质量能量等价 - 但令人惊讶的是,它的微妙之一 - 然而,不可避免的后果仍然是一个混乱的问题:所谓的隐藏势头。通常被认为是特定系统的特征或避免悖论情况的伪影特征,在这里我们提出了一种新的相对论“悖论”,它暴露了隐藏动量的真实本质和无处不在。我们还表明,可以通过可观察到的效果强迫隐藏的动力来揭示自己,希望终结几十年来关于其现实的争议。
The tight connection between mass and energy unveiled by Special Relativity, summarized by the iconic formula $E = mc^2$, has revolutionized our understanding of nature and even shaped our political world over the past century through its military application. It is certainly one of the most exhaustively-tested and well-known equations of modern science. Although we have become used to its most obvious implication -- mass-energy equivalence --, it is surprising that one of its subtle -- yet, inevitable -- consequences is still a matter of confusion: the so-called hidden momentum. Often considered as a peculiar feature of specific systems or as an artifact to avoid paradoxal situations, here we present a new relativistic "paradox" which exposes the true nature and ubiquity of hidden momentum. We also show that hidden momentum can be forced to reveal itself through observable effects, hopefully putting an end to decades of controversy about its reality.
