摘要: 20世纪初期,爱因斯坦和泡利、海森伯、薛定谔、德布罗意、波恩、约尔丹等量子精英一起,为量子论的建立做出了卓越的贡献,他认为这些精英是量子力学的奠基人,肯定其成果,多次提名他们为诺贝尔物理学奖候选人;尽管狄拉克在量子力学与相对论结合方面,做出了重大贡献,物理学界也已公认是比肩牛顿、麦克斯韦和爱因斯坦的伟大科学家,只是他预测反物质特别是正电子的存在,引起包括爱因斯坦在内的众多理论物理学家与实验物理学家的怀疑和激烈反对,爱因斯坦也并未将狄拉克看成是量子力学的奠基人,狄拉克和爱因斯坦同处于这一时期,可是二人在科学活动和学术交流方面却没有交集,除了狄拉克沉默寡言,不善交流,惜言如金的个性之外,爱因斯坦对狄拉克的重大研究成果并不认可,从未提名他为诺贝尔物理学奖候选人.本文作者从量子物理学史的角度初步思考和分析当时的情况,认为爱因斯坦与狄拉克各自取得了重大成果,但是其研究过程表现出显著的、不同的创造模式,其中包括成长环境、知识背景和科研经历,即使在主张科学美的观点上相似,也具有深层次的区别;其实,这才是主要原因,因此,本文拟以这二位科学家具有不同的创造模式为中心,进行思考和探讨,分析爱因斯坦为什么会反对和由此延缓了量子力学的发展,特别是分析和比较了这两种不同的创造模式在数学推理方面的差异与优劣,希望由此能够得出一些对读者有益的新颖的结果.

Abstract: In the early 20th century, Einstein and Pauli, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, de Broglie, Bonn, Jordan and other quantum elites together, made outstanding contributions to the establishment of quantum theory, he believes that these elites are the founders of quantum mechanics, affirmed its achievements, nominated them for the Nobel Prize in physics candidates many times; Although Dirac made significant contributions to the combination of quantum mechanics and relativity, and the physics community has been recognized as a great scientist on a par with Newton, Maxwell and Einstein, his prediction of the existence of antimatter, especially positrons, caused skepticism and fierce opposition from many theoretical and experimental physicists, including Einstein. Einstein also did not regard Dirac as the founder of quantum mechanics, Dirac and Einstein were in this period, but the two people had no intersection in scientific activities and academic exchanges, in addition to Dirac’s personality of silence, poor communication, and precious words, Einstein did not recognize Dirac’s major research results. He was never nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics. From the perspective of the history of quantum physics, the author thinks that Einstein and Dirac have made significant achievements, but their research process shows significant and different creative modes, including growth environment, knowledge background and scientific research experience. Even if they are similar in advocating the beauty of science, there are deep differences. In fact, this is the main reason, therefore, this paper intends to focus on the two scientists’ different creation modes, think and discuss, analyze why Einstein opposed and delayed the development of quantum mechanics, especially analyze and compare the differences and advantages and disadvantages of these two different creation modes in mathematical reasoning. It is hoped that some novel results will be derived from this, which will be beneficial to the readers.
