| In 1905 Henri Poincaré first proposed gravitational waves (ondes gravifiques) emanating from a body and propagating at the speed of light. In public, Einstein acknowledged Poincaré posthumously in the text of a lecture in 1921 called Geometrie und Erfahrung in connection with non-Euclidean geometry, but not in connection with special relativity. A few years before his death, Einstein commented on Poincaré as being one of the pioneers of relativity, saying "Lorentz had already recognised that the transformation named after him is essential for the analysis of Maxwell's equations, and Poincaré deepened this insight still further ...." | | In 1905 Henri Poincaré first proposed gravitational waves (ondes gravifiques) emanating from a body and propagating at the speed of light.

− | 1905年,Henri poincaré 首次提出引力波(ondes gravitfiques) ,它从物体中发射出来,以光速传播。在公开场合,他在1921年的一次名为几何和历史的演讲中承认了庞加莱,这次演讲与非欧几里得几何有关,但与狭义相对论无关。在他去世前几年,爱因斯坦评价庞加莱是相对论的先驱之一,他说: “洛伦兹已经认识到,以他的名字命名的变换对于分析麦克斯韦方程组至关重要,而庞加莱进一步深化了这一认识... ... ”

| Like [[Mass–energy equivalence#Electromagnetic rest mass|others]] before, Poincaré (1900) discovered a relation between mass and electromagnetic energy. While studying the conflict between the [[Newton's laws of motion|action/reaction principle]] and [[Lorentz ether theory]], he tried to determine whether the [[center of gravity]] still moves with a uniform velocity when electromagnetic fields are included.<ref name=action /> He noticed that the action/reaction principle does not hold for matter alone, but that the electromagnetic field has its own momentum. Poincaré concluded that the electromagnetic field energy of an electromagnetic wave behaves like a fictitious [[fluid]] (''fluide fictif'') with a mass density of ''E''/''c''<sup>2</sup>. If the [[center of mass frame]] is defined by both the mass of matter ''and'' the mass of the fictitious fluid, and if the fictitious fluid is indestructible—it's neither created or destroyed—then the motion of the center of mass frame remains uniform. But electromagnetic energy can be converted into other forms of energy. So Poincaré assumed that there exists a non-electric energy fluid at each point of space, into which electromagnetic energy can be transformed and which also carries a mass proportional to the energy. In this way, the motion of the center of mass remains uniform. Poincaré said that one should not be too surprised by these assumptions, since they are only mathematical fictions. | | Like [[Mass–energy equivalence#Electromagnetic rest mass|others]] before, Poincaré (1900) discovered a relation between mass and electromagnetic energy.
