The concept of objectivity in science . For example, physical processes (''e.g.'' material properties) are invariant under changes of observers; that is, it is possible to reconcile observations of the process into a single coherent description of it. == Euclidean transformation == Physical processes can be described by an observer denoted by . In Euclidean three-dimensional space and time, an observer can measure relative positions of points in space and intervals of time. Consider an event in Euclidean space characterized by the pairs and where is a position vector and is a scalar representing time. This pair is mapped to another one denoted by the superscript. This mapping is done with the orthogonal time-dependent second order tensor in a way such that the distance between the pairs is kept the same. Therefore one can write: : By introducing a vector and a real number denoting the time shift, the relationship between and can be expressed : The one-to-one mapping connection of the pair with its corresponding pair is referred to as a Euclidean transformation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Objectivity (frame invariance)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
