Matter or geometry as fundamental in relativity theory:How not to teach special relativity
relativity spacetime ontology constructivism
2016/6/13
In this paper, I review a number of interpretational frameworks for relativistic phenomena like length contraction and relativity of simultaneity. Of central focus is the book Physical Relativity by H...
Similarity,Topology,and Physical Significance in Relativity Theory
similarity topology physical significance general relativity models contextualism
2016/6/13
Stephen Hawking, among others, has proposed that the topological stability of a property of spacetime is a necessary condition for it to be physically significant. What counts as stable, however, depe...
On Relative Orbital Rotation in Relativity Theory
relative rotation relative motion relativity
2008/4/22
We consider the following question within both Newtonian physics and relativity theory. "Given two point particles X and Y, if Y is rotating relative to X, does it follow that X is rotating relative t...
Relativity theory between structural and dynamical explanations
relativity spacetime explanation kinematics dynamics inertia
2008/4/22
In this review article I discuss Harvey Brown’s recent book Physical Relativity (OUP, 2005) by presenting and criticizing some of his main arguments in favour of a dynamical underpinning of rods contr...
Twin Paradox and the Logical Foundation of Relativity Theory
twin paradox relativity theory accelerated observers
2008/4/21
We study the foundation of space-time theory in the framework of first-order logic (FOL). Since the foundation of mathematics has been successfully carried through (via set theory) in FOL, it is not e...
On the logical consistency of special relativity theory and non-Euclidean geometries: Platonism versus formalism
relativistic determinism relativity of simultaneity
2008/4/15
The Lorentz transformations in the theory of special relativity~(SR) lead to a little-investigated phenomenon called relativistic determinism. When two relatively moving inertial observers A and B coi...
Does special relativity theory tell us anything new about space and time?
special relativity space-time operationalism
2008/4/11
It will be shown that, in comparison with the pre-relativistic Galileo-invariant conceptions, special relativity tells us nothing new about the geometry of spacetime. It simply calls something else "s...

special theory of relativity undecidable propositions
2008/4/10
As observed in the PhilSci preprint ID Code 1255 [1], consistency in the author's proposed non-Aristotelian finitary logic (NAFL) demands that Euclid's fifth postulate must necessarily be provable fro...
Classical Relativity Theory

2008/4/10
This survey article is divided into two parts. In the first (section 2), I give a brief account of the structure of classical relativity theory. In the second (section 3), I discuss three special topi...
Within the framework of general relativity, in some cases at least, it is a delicate and interesting question just what it means to say that an extended body is or is not "rotating". It is so for two ...
