The goal of this article is to bring into wider attention the often neglected important work by Bertrand Russell on the philosophy of nature and the foundations of physics, published in the year 1927. It is suggested that the idea of what could be named Russell space, introduced in Part III of that book, may be viewed as more fundamental than many other types of spaces since the highly abstract nature of the topological ordinal space proposed by Russell there would incorporate into its very fabric the emergent nature of spacetime by deploying event assemblages, but not spacetime or particles, as the fundamental building blocks of the world. We also point out the curious historical fact that the book The Analysis of Matter can be chronologically considered the earliest book-length generic attempt to reflect on the relation between quantum mechanics, just emerging by that time, and general relativity.

罗素1927年的《物质分析》一书

这篇文章的目的是要纳入更广泛的关注罗素的往往忽略了重要的工作在自然哲学和物理学的基础，在今年公布1927年有人建议，什么可能被命名为理念罗素空间，该书第三部分中介绍的内容可能被认为比许多其他类型的空间更基本，因为罗素提出的拓扑序数空间的高度抽象性质将通过部署事件集合将时空的新兴性质整合到其结构中，但不是时空或粒子，它们是世界的基本组成部分。我们还指出了一个奇怪的历史事实，即《物质分析》一书 可以按时间顺序考虑，是最早的书本级通用尝试，用以反思当时刚刚出现的量子力学与广义相对论之间的关系。
