Vocabulary:
This?idea was first stated?explicitly?in Newton’s Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, and is known as?Newton’s?first?law.
1.explicitly:
Fully and clearly expressed;leaving nothing

synonyms:accuratecertainclearcorrectdefinitedefinitiveexactobviouspositiveprecisestraightforward
eg:He was quite explicit as to what he expected us to do for him.
2.Newton’s first law:whenever a body isnot acted on by any force, it will keep on moving in a straight line at thesame speed.In aninertial
reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues tomove at a constantvelocity, unless acted upon by aforce
3. What happens to a body when a force does act on itis given byNewton’s second law. This states that the bodywill accelerate, or change its speed, at a rate that is proportional to theforce.
4.Newton’s second law:In an?inertial reference frame, the vectorsumoftheforcesFon an object is equal to themassm?of that object multiplied by theaccelerationaof the object: F=ma.
The acceleration is also smaller the greater themass(or quantity ofmatter) of the body.物體的加速度跟物體所受的合外力成正比,跟物體的質(zhì)量成反比茫蛹,加速度的方向跟合外力的方向相同芦圾。
5.Mass:a shape or
three-dimensional volume that has or gives the illusion of having weight,
density, and bulk
If the law were that the gravitationalattraction of a star went down faster or increased more rapidly with distance,the orbits of the planets would not beelliptical,they would eitherspiralintothe sun or escape from the sun
6.elliptical:a plane curve such that the sums of the distances of each point in its
periphery from two fixed points, the foci, are equal.;tending to be ambiguous,
cryptic, or obscure尿贫;(of speech or writing) expressed with
extreme or excessive economy; relieved of irrelevant matter
Eg:The same goes for theellipticalmachine hunger strike, which also
comes off as tonally deficient, to say the least.
7.spiral:n.Geometry.a plane curve generated by a point moving around a
fixed point while constantly receding from or approaching it; a helix;a single
circle or ring of a spiral or helical curve or object;adj:running
continuously around a fixed point or center while constantly receding from or
approaching it; coiling in a single plane;V:to take a spiral form or course;to advance or increase
steadily; rise
Eg:In practice, we have
mechanisms such as warranties which can halt thespiral.
When the famousDr. Johnson was told of Berkeley’s opinion, he cried, “Irefuteit thus!” andstubbed his toeon a large stone.
8.refute:to prove to be false or erroneous, as an opinion or
charge.
to prove (a person) to be in error.

20.(1)引力紅移:廣義相對論證明又谋,引力勢低的地方固有時間的流逝速度慢。也就是說離天體越近娱局,時間越慢彰亥。這樣,天體表面原子發(fā)出的光周期變長衰齐,由于光速不變任斋,相應(yīng)的頻率變小,在光譜中向紅光方向移動娇斩,稱為引力紅移仁卷。宇宙中有很多致密的天體,可以測量它們發(fā)出的光的頻率犬第,并與地球的相應(yīng)原子發(fā)出的光作比較锦积,發(fā)現(xiàn)紅移量與相對論預(yù)言一致。60年代初歉嗓,人們在地球引力場中利用伽瑪射線的無反沖共振吸收效應(yīng)(穆斯堡爾效應(yīng))測量了光垂直傳播22丰介。5M產(chǎn)生的紅移,結(jié)果與相對論預(yù)言一致鉴分。
(2)光線偏折:如果按光的波動說哮幢,光在引力場中不應(yīng)該有任何偏折,按半經(jīng)典式的"量子論加牛頓引力論"的混合產(chǎn)物志珍,用普朗克公式E=hv和質(zhì)能公式E=Mc^2求出光子的質(zhì)量译荞,再用牛頓萬有引力定律得到的太陽附近的光的偏折角是0.87秒唤冈,按廣義相對論計算的偏折角是1.75秒霜浴,為上述角度的兩倍。1919年嗽元,一戰(zhàn)剛結(jié)束,英國科學(xué)家愛丁頓派出兩支考察隊喂击,利用日食的機(jī)會觀測剂癌,觀測的結(jié)果約為1.7秒,剛好在相對論實(shí)驗誤差范圍之內(nèi)翰绊。引起誤差的主要原因是太陽大氣對光線的偏折佩谷。最近依靠射電望遠(yuǎn)鏡可以觀測類星體的電波在太陽引力場中的偏折,不必等待日食這種稀有機(jī)會监嗜。精密測量進(jìn)一步證實(shí)了相對論的結(jié)論谐檀。
(3)水星近日點(diǎn)的進(jìn)動:天文觀測記錄了水星近日點(diǎn)每百年移動5600秒,人們考慮了各種因素秤茅,根據(jù)牛頓理論只能解釋其中的5557秒稚补,只剩43秒無法解釋童叠。廣義相對論的計算結(jié)果與萬有引力定律(平方反比定律)有所偏差框喳,這一偏差剛好使水星的近日點(diǎn)每百年移動43秒。
(4)雷達(dá)回波實(shí)驗:從地球向行星發(fā)射雷達(dá)信號厦坛,接收行星反射的信號五垮,測量信號往返的時間,來檢驗空間是否彎曲(檢驗三角形內(nèi)角和)60年代杜秸,美國物理學(xué)家克服重重困難做成了此實(shí)驗放仗,結(jié)果與相對論預(yù)言相符。
Day 2
經(jīng)過第一天看12頁不停地虐撬碟,看著群里的大家討論得好熱烈诞挨,認(rèn)真地想想安妮說的由于光速不一樣而導(dǎo)致相對時間錯過太陽對地球的告白,好浪漫呢蛤,但浪漫歸浪漫惶傻,還是要好好啃科學(xué)呢。其實(shí)看了理論物理之后其障,發(fā)現(xiàn)自己之前看得實(shí)在是太少了银室,懂得的也實(shí)在是太少了,雖然總結(jié)這件事不是今天的任務(wù)励翼,但是還是有感而發(fā)蜈敢,發(fā)了再說呢,之前看三體的時候大劉會涉及很多科學(xué)知識在其中汽抚,自己很多時候其實(shí)都是不求甚解抓狭,但今天真的當(dāng)成任務(wù)去完成的時候,開始靜下心來理解造烁,雖然理論物理是有點(diǎn)晦澀難懂否过,但霍金的語言卻盡量讓故事較為生動吧(至少還算生動吧orz:))而自己覺得群里大家的討論自己常常無法參與其中狱从,是自己沒有問題要問呢,還是自己的邏輯思維已經(jīng)沒有好奇心叠纹?想想真可怕季研。
1.impulse:? [physics]
a.the product of the average magnitude of a forceacting on a body and the time for which it acts

synonyms: equality, sameness, interchangeability, comparability
Functional equivalence,hardly gettable for a translator,is positively significant as a translation norm.
先大概寫這么多,吸收一下昨天的單詞和里面的科學(xué)內(nèi)容吧
唉總結(jié)一下誉察,自己最近狀態(tài)不行与涡,可能是因為自己忙著寫畢業(yè)論文,再加上自己還有雅思要考持偏,導(dǎo)致最近兩天的作業(yè)驼卖,先說說看時間簡史這本書,一開始看到這本書覺得還好吧鸿秆,科學(xué)應(yīng)該挺有意思的酌畜,雖然自己平時不怎么看,后來終于想起為什么自己會不看卿叽,就是看不懂啊桥胞,大寫的看不懂,但是安妮講解后考婴,還有大神的討論之后贩虾,總算是有丟丟看懂了,雖然還是有些疑惑沥阱,但是感覺自己懂了一些理論科學(xué)的問題缎罢。
對于一些自己不懂的專業(yè)知識,覺得了解得真的很少考杉,如果一個月前有人告訴我策精,我會讀時間簡史,我可能會笑出來崇棠,納悶怎么可能咽袜,但是知識一直就在那里,等你去接觸到的時候易茬,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)這是一個全新的世界酬蹋,一個文科生就是把這種理論當(dāng)成故事去看,但是很多理論的來由還是不懂抽莱。但不管怎么說范抓,接觸到理論物理這一完全不懂的領(lǐng)域還是覺得有學(xué)到東西的,之前看到一篇文章食铐,說現(xiàn)在的學(xué)生其實(shí)很多東西都是知之甚少匕垫,你問熱帶雨林是什么,也許有學(xué)生會回答巴西虐呻,有學(xué)生會回答森林象泵,甚至還有人會說和氧氣有關(guān)的寞秃,但是熱帶雨林究竟是什么,沒有多少人能完整地表述出來偶惠,那么對于相對論這個概念春寿,我們很多人也是這樣,如果之前你問我相對論是什么忽孽,我只能告訴你這是愛因斯坦的發(fā)明绑改,還有一個笑話,就是在喜歡的女生面前時間過得很快兄一,而不喜歡的事情面前時間過得很慢厘线,這就是時間的相對。但真正走入這個理論世界出革,很多腦洞真的會讓我們爆炸造壮,我,講真第一次知道骂束,時間真的不是絕對的耳璧。
當(dāng)然自己看得太倉促了,覺得自己的思維導(dǎo)圖和安妮的還是有很多不一樣栖雾,很多細(xì)節(jié)沒有把握楞抡,后面的一些實(shí)驗還在啃伟众。剛剛走了一遍鯨魚的簡書析藕,覺得最大的感觸還是鯨魚引用國富論的那句話:這一點(diǎn)是近期同時在精讀班與生活中的體悟,也讓我想起了曾經(jīng)糾結(jié)是否要看斯密的《國富論》時偶然看到的一句話:“在寫國富論的時候凳厢,是開辟混沌之時账胧,我要的是國富論的思維邏輯和對于社會的辯證經(jīng)濟(jì)化的思想。這本書一定要看先紫,人的思維邏輯沒有過時和不過時之說治泥。”
