Einstein, la luz, el espacio-tiempo y los cuantos (2015)

ABSTRACT The study of light, its nature and properties was a central topic in the works of Albert Einstein. This paper discusses the role of light in the formulation of special relativity, in particular as a tool to provide operational definitions of the basic kinematic concepts. It also discusses the role of light in understanding general relativity and ends by briefly considering its quantum behaviour. RESUMEN El estudio de la luz, su naturaleza y sus propiedades ocupó un lugar central en los trabajos de Albert Einstein. En este artículo se discute el papel de la luz en la formulación de la relatividad especial, en particular como instrumento para la definición operacional de las magnitudes cinemáticas básicas, se muestra su importancia para la comprensión de la relatividad general y, por último, se considera brevemente su comportamiento cuántico.
