物理学作为一门实验性科学在其发展过程中不仅创造了许多著名实验室实验,而且伴生了众多异常奇妙的思想实验(也叫理想实验或假想实验).它们以其鲜明的实践本性和奇妙的理性思维特点一直受到物理学家(尤其理论物理学家)的青睐.它们作为一种纯理论分析工具“在伽利略的工作中起过关键性的作用”,而且在今天。这种理想实验仍是“有关现代物理学中的概念变动也就是相对论和量子力学的后果的研究中心.”1 思想实验与物理学重大变革

As an experimental science, physics not only created many well-known laboratory experiments in its development, but also associated with many fantastic ideological experiments (also called ideal experiments or hypothetical experiments) .By their distinctive practice nature and wonderful Has always been favored by physicists, especially theoretical physicists, who, as a purely theoretical analysis tool, “played a crucial role in Galileo’s work” and today. This ideal experiment is still “a center of research on the conceptual changes in modern physics that are the consequence of relativity and quantum mechanics.” 1 Ideological Experiments and Major Changes in Physics
