家园 【记录】关于宇宙的一段对话

是我跟一位天文学教授的对话。我是“问”,他是“答”。我的水平有限,问题也比较可笑,请大家将就着看。

问: 宇宙的外面是什么?

答: 宇宙的外面可能是别的宇宙,也可能没有外面

问: 那我们的宇宙有边?

答: in the standard model, there is no edge

问: 那“往外膨胀”,那个外是哪里?是什么?

答: just expansion, not expansion outwards. expansion everywhere, in the same way

问: 嗯?难道还向里膨胀?

答: expansion is just the expansion of the basic scales

问: 没有中心点的?

答: distance between any two objects increases. no centre

问: 大爆炸最初发生的地方呢?

答: everywhere

问: 听着不太对头

答: you are right, quite rediculous.but this is the standard model

问: 不是物质极其集中于某地么

答: no, just density everywhere was much higher

问: 然后同时爆炸?不可思议

答: expansion. not explosion. give you one example

问: 有个初始时间的呀

答: when we look at very far distance places, we are look back in time, because of the limited speed of light. but to all directions, the universe appears the same. this tells you the expansion really happened everywhere

问: 哦!

答: of course the other possibility is that we are at exactly the center

问: 不应该

答: but not many astronomers believe this

问: 我也不信,没理由的

问: if we are not at the center, then the universe was infinite and still infinite. the only two possibilities. I actually believe we are at the center. more natural to me. last year I asked one student to study my model, but finally he cound not get any conclusion

问: 可是我总是不相信上帝一扔骰子,就正好是六六六,没那么巧

答: again only two possibilities. one is that there is only one universe, but created by god

问: 不像

答: or there are many universes, ours is just one of many. cannot prove which is right scientifically

问: 嗯。我又听说超光速是可能的

答: of course it is possible

问: 那相对论呢?

答: in the early universe you must have this. do not violate relativity

问: 为什么必须?

答: in early universe expansion is very fast. otherwise it could overcome the extremely strong gravity, because the density was too high

问: 听着不太对

答: give you one example of super-light speed

问: 不是超光速的只能是零质量吗

答: when you blow a bubble, all parts on the bubble will move simultaneously. their relative velocity can easily be super-light

问: 嗯?

答: this is because this is one event. only when two events with causal relationship cannot go super-light. the expansion of the universe is one event, so no problem.

问: 太牵强了,不符合相对论吧

答: no violation at all

问: 可是相对论说的是,任何有质量的物体,不能达到光速

答: who is the observer in the expansion?

问: 光速是不是应该是绝对的? 我不觉得有相对的

答: of course

问: 那跟观察者没什么关系啊

答: but if you talk about the relative speed of two parts of the universe, the relative speed can be any value

问: 没道理,我不相信现代科学了。 都是自相矛盾的东西

答: no problem for me

问: 听着都是狡辩术

答: in relativity, observers are very important. no observer, no relative speed. so we cannot measure any speed more c

问: 为什么是so?

答: no reason, Einsten assumes this, and it is always confirmed by experiments

问: 是说,不能测量出超光速?

答: of course

问: 但它可能实际存在?是手段问题?

答: what you mean by existence?

问: 噢,不能测量就不存在?

答: there is one very difficult phenomenon in quantum mechanics

问: 什么

答: it seems to violate the C principle. for example if you have one particle to release two particles. because of conservation laws, the properties of two particles must satisfy certain conditions

问: 需要外部能量吧

答: so if two particles fly in opposite directions, before you detect them, you do not know which one has what property

问: 应该都一样似的

答: but once you mease one, you know immediately the properties of the other one

问: 可是测不准怎么说?

答: suppose you can selectively measure certain properties, for example, the spin, then you know the spin of the other one. spin is conserved precisely

问: 嗯

答: so this way you can communicate with the other station with super C. for example when you receive spin UP you dance. when he receives spin DOWN, he also dances. then you can synchronize your actions with super-C

问: 可是我记得,当初说,还是光速

答: this violate the principle that you cannot communicate with super-C

问: 比方两个光速反向离开,它们之间的相对速度还是光速

答: this is true. but with the quantum mechanical things, you may be able to communicate with super C. this phemonenon has been observed and studied for a long time. this is one example of super-C communication. in cosmology, there is also one phenomenon very strange. for example the easten side and western side have the same properties. but they are seperated so far that there is no why for them to communicate so that they can synchronize their properties

问: 谁的东西?

答: from us, of course, wne we observe the universe. we look to the east and west, we see the universe is the same

问: 不会吧? 星座星云,不是对称的吧?

答: this is the reason some people proposed that in the early phase of the expansion, it was one event. on large scale, very symmetric. in one event, you do not have the super-c restriction. in fact the microwave background is extremely uniform on all directions. this was the first proof of the big bang theory.

家园 越看越糊涂!

越糊涂越想看!

家园 老大,你够牛!你的问题一会是狭义相对论,一会是广义的!

现代物理学就是这么让人绕弯子费脑筋,因为这些东西都是客观存在的。你不能去改变他,所以你只能去费尽心思去想出各种各样的合理的解释。比如那个宇宙大爆炸的中心点的问题,因为现在的天文学观测的结果是几乎所有的大爆炸尺度(大约是指几千万光年以上的距离,很巨呀)的河外星云都在离我们而去,而且他们之间的距离也是逐渐加大的。这个你说说怎么解释?这个又是事实而根本没有办法否定它(至少目前没有),怎么办?也真亏他们想了个新的模型,没有吹起来的气球和吹起来以后的气球。在吹起气来以后气球上任何两点的距离都要比没有吹起来以前大,是不是?否则就只能解释成咱们这部分宇宙是整个宇宙的中心,别的都在离开咱们而四散。而这个解释有点太唯我独尊了,牛顿也许同意,可是哈勃不同意呀(这家伙去牛津进修可不是去牛津的神学院;或者是他们美国立国时间短,没有产生过皇帝那种唯我独尊的历史观造成的吧)!结果就留下了这么一个不伦不类的气球系统来解释大爆炸以后的空间了。你要理解,有的时候物理学家也是非常非常苦恼倒霉的呀!很多的实践都和他们的理论岂止是不沾边,根本就是风马牛不相及的。他们还要费劲脑筋去想原因,有的时候想个一两百年没准儿儿都不能想出个所以然来呀!

还有那个超光速问题,你那个教授说得很对,也许有,但是无法证明。为什么,因为我们所有的仪器没有超过光速的,所以无法测量的。既然无法测量,那么你就别胡想了。有了超光速的东西你也无法知道,那对你说跟没有又有什么区别?

测不准原理就是说仪器对于物理学的重要性的!海森堡这个牛人,以前根本就没有人发现过这个问题,愣让他发现了!真是对他的敬仰如滔滔江水,连绵不绝呀!

家园 边寒剑--挺COOL的男孩名字,怎么弄了3个小丫头作签名。

难道你也是吾辈中人?

家园 俺喜欢嘛!有句广告不是说:“白里透红,与众不同吗?”

前两个都是蓓儿丹娣,第三个是高圆圆!

不过过几天我也准备换一换了!这几张都用了很长时间了!头像我倒是经常换,嘻嘻!

家园 你比我可牛多了。我学的那点相对论知识早就还给老师了
