時間定義 8.4

「狹義相對論」會教你如何運算,把你的「一格」翻譯成我的「一格」。

「狹義相對論」關心的另一個主要問題是,眾多個體因果鏈如何互相影響呢?

其中一個核心結論是,任何兩個個體的相互因果影響(causal influence),速度不會高於光速。任何兩條個體因果鏈之間的訊息傳遞(signal transmission),速度最高只能達到光速。

Interacts with itself

In 1954, Chen Ning Yang and Robert Mills proposed to generalize these ideas to noncommutative groups. A noncommutative gauge group can describe a field that, unlike the electromagnetic field, interacts with itself. For example, general relativity states that gravitational fields have energy, and special relativity concludes that energy is equivalent to mass. Hence a gravitational field induces a further gravitational field. The nuclear forces also have this self-interacting property.

重新開機

有一個簡單的方法,可以知道程式作者有沒有為程式用者設想:

看看安裝一個程式時,該個程式會不會要求你「重新開機」。

「好程式」和「壞程式」的分別是,

安裝「好程式」時,它不會要求你「重新開機」。

結論是,大部分情況下,不應安裝任何會要求你「重新開機」的程式。

You can choose whatever name you like for the two types of government. I personally call the type of government which can be removed without violence “democracy”, and the other “tyranny”.
