The chronos principle

Принцип определения времени

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The definition of time is established as a fundamental physical principle. From this principle, in connection with the quantum and relativity principles, the laws of quantum geometrodynamics and, in the classical limit, those of general relativity theory, are uniquely deduced.

Riassunto

Si stabilisce come principio fisico fondamentale la definizione di tempo. Da questo principio si derivano in maniera univoca le leggi della geometrodinamica quantistica d'accordo con i principi della meccanica quantistica e della relatività e, nel limite classico, le leggi della teoria della relatività generale.

Резюме

Устанавливается, что определение времени является фундаментальным физическим принципом. Из этого принципа, в связи с связи с принципом относительности и принципами квантовой механики, однозначно выводярся законы квантовой геометродинамики и, в классическом пределе, законы общей теории относительности.
