经典物理学是从否定亚里士多德的时空观开始的。当时曾有过一场激烈的争论。赞成哥白尼学说的人主张地球在运动,维护亚里士多德-托勒密体系的人则主张地静说。地静派有一条反对地动说的强硬理由:如果地球是在高速的运动,为什么在地面上的人一点也感觉不出来呢?这的确是不能回避的一个问题。 Classical physics begins with negating Aristotle’s view of time and space. There was a fierce debate at the time. Those who agree with the Copernican doctrine advocate that the earth is in motion, and those who maintain the Aristotelian Ptolemy system advocate quiet talk. There is a strong reason for opposition to geopolitical movements: If the earth is moving at high speed, why can’t people on the ground feel at all? This is indeed an issue that cannot be evaded.
