论文摘要
类比的推理渗透到了物理和天体物理学的理论发展,这是由于许多现象在发挥作用的无法达到的性质。例如,类比已被用来理解黑洞物理学,从而导致这些物体的热力学理论发展并发现鹰效应。后者是由黑洞空间时间的量子场理论引起的,它改变了物理学家接近这一主题的方式:仅仅是一种帮助理解的辅助方法,它通过“模拟引力”的研究计划成为可能的证据来源,该计划以模拟模型建立在现场效应的基础上。这些模拟模型中的某些模型可以并且可以在实验室中实现,从而可以实现现场影响。在这里,我们介绍了有关鹰效应与模型之间的联系的历史观点。我们还介绍了当前研究的文献综述,将历史和当代物理学融合在一起。我们认为,基于如何以及为什么使用模拟模型来研究黑洞附近的田地,模拟引力和鹰效应的历史被分为三个不同的阶段。此外,我们发现现代研究标志着向新阶段的过渡,在这种阶段,使用模型的动力超过了他们最初设计的问题。
Reasoning by analogies permeates theoretical developments in physics and astrophysics, motivated by the unreachable nature of many phenomena at play. For example, analogies have been used to understand black hole physics, leading to the development of a thermodynamic theory for these objects and the discovery of the Hawking effect. The latter, which results from quantum field theory on black hole space-times, changed the way physicists approached this subject: what had started as a mere aid to understanding becomes a possible source of evidence via the research programme of `analogue gravity' that builds on analogue models for field effects. Some of these analogue models may and can be realised in the laboratory, allowing experimental tests of field effects. Here, we present a historical perspective on the connection between the Hawking effect and analogue models. We also present a literature review of current research, bringing history and contemporary physics together. We argue that the history of analogue gravity and the Hawking effect is divided into three distinct phases based on how and why analogue models have been used to investigate fields in the vicinity of black holes. Furthermore, we find that modern research signals a transition to a new phase, where the impetus for the use of analogue models has surpassed the problem they were originally designed to solve.
