1.就实验所能检测到的情况而言，洛伦兹和爱因斯坦已经完全解释了地球相对于电磁以太的运动所产生的任何现象。假设电磁学是物质的最终基础，那么估计两点之间距离的唯一可用方法就是测量物体之间效应的传播时间，这种传播是根据电子理论的方程进行的。不仅在实验精确度的限度内，而且确切地说，任何实际的效果都完全被这样一个事实所掩盖，即观察者必然参与地球的运动，因此，他对时间和空间的度量与他不这样做时所具有的度量是不同的。相对论的基础是两个具有均匀相对速度的观察者的空间和时间测量之间存在的一组关系。如果这是v，x的轴取v的方向，这些关系式
1. The absence, as far as experiment can detect, of any phenomenon arising from the Earth's motion relative to the electromagnetic aether has been fully accounted for by Lorentzt and Einstein,! provided the hypothesis of electromagnetism as the ultimate basis of matter be accepted, so that the only available means of estimating the distance between two points is the measuring of the time of propagation of effects between the bodies, such propagation taking place in accordance with the equations of the electron theory. It has been proved not only within the limits of experimental accuracy, but exactly, that any actual effect is completely obscured by the fact that the observer necessarily shares in the motion of the earth, and has therefore different measures of time and space from those which he would have if he did not do so. The foundation of this theory of relativity is the set of relations subsisting between the space and time measures of two observers having a uniform relative velocity. If this is v and the axis of x is taken in the direction of v, these relations
