Abstract
In present-day theory it is assumed that the geometry which we know from macroscopic physics retains its significance in microworld regions. Together with this geometry, the form of causal relationships, which is based on studies of macroscopic phenomena, is carried over into the microworld. Two basic ideas form the basis of modern concepts. These are:
-
(a)
the idea that the Einstein- Minkowski space-time is homogeneous and isotropic, and
-
(b)
the idea about transfer of interaction by physical fields (electro-magnetic fields, meson fields, neutron fields, etc.).
