The Theory of the Relativity (0)


More than 100 years have happened since Albert Einstein was publishing the Theory of the Restricted Relativity, which quickly became very popular between the not initiated ones in physics due to the paradox of the twins. And the fact is that quite what leads us to the possibility of modifying the time attracts us extraordinarily, up to the point of which it is an inexhaustible source of stories, novels, histories and screenplays that in the field of the scientific speculation, the science fiction, flood bookstores and cinematographic publicity boards. On the one hand our innate one, and the healthiest, curiosity does that we are interested vividly for the society of the future knows, not only in the aspects related to the scientific advances, but also in social aspects. On the other hand we are extraordinarily dialectical beings, and we like to penetrate into such contradictions like the classic one: What happens if I travel to the past and kill my great-grandfather?. The let in the time is not an only one interest derived from his character of physical dimension, but also it is a philosophical interest tied to concepts as grandiloquent as the Eternity, which if it is difficult to imagine like future, more it is still like a past. Of nothing it serves to tie it to easily understandable mathematical concepts, like the set of the entire numbers (the natives and his negatives), I combine that it has neither beginning nor end, or even that of the real numbers of which we can affirm that: Between two any real numbers there are in turn infinite real numbers. That there not be scared those that take a certain fear or reverence as concepts tied to the mathematics, this has easy solution resorting to an example, between the 1 and 2 there are infinite real numbers since we would have in the first instance the 1,1 1,2 1,3.... 1,9 but the fact is that between the 1,1 and the 1,2 we would have the 1,11 1,12,1,13. . 1,19 and between the 1,11 and the 1,12 we would have the 1,111 1,112 1,113... 1,119 and this way successively. A little so simple to tell how the infinite concept in the mathematics, turns in definitely inexplicably when it presents an anthropological connection, we all are lasting and contingent beings, of what we deduce that everything has durability and risk (except for the believers to whom it seems natural that there exists an eternal and uncontingent being whom they call a God). Even when the physicists raise that, according to the experience and observation that today is had of the Universe, this one was created by a big explosion, Bing Bang, which gave place to three dimensions, breadth, length and high place, to that it expands and a fourth, the time, which relates them between themselves, there is always someone who asks: And earlier, that existed earlier? When earlier, later, during or while there are concepts, there are adverbs related with the time, and only they have sense from which the time exists.
It remains clear of this brief introduction that the attempt of spreading something like the Theory of the Relativity, which is what I try to do, it is not simple although I am going to be provided with the collaboration of L. Landau and Y.Rumer that in a delightful leaflet, which was in possession of my brother, and now in mine, from September 24, 1969, try to bring us over to slightly understandable concepts.
And the leaflet begins with an appointment:
"... it keeps on being, nevertheless, undoubted that the mechanics was a tracing of the real slow movements, while the new physics is a tracing of the real movements that take place in prodigious speeds..."
"The mutability of the human representations on the space and the time does not refute the objective reality of one or other, as the mutability of our scientific knowledge on the structure and the forms of the movement of the matter refutes the objective reality of the exterior world either."
V. I. U.
