Symmetry,empirical equivalence,and identity
symmetries empirical equivalence identity of physical states redundancy
2016/6/13
The paper proposes a novel approach to the much discussed question of which symmetries have direct empirical significance and which do not. The approach is based on a development of a recently propose...
Artificial Examples of Empirical Equivalence
Empirical equivalence underdetermination van Fraassen conventionality of geometry systems of the world
2016/6/12
In this paper I analyze three artificial examples of empirical equivalence: van Fraassen’s alternative formulations of Newton’s theory, the Poincaré-Reichenbach argument for the conventionality of geo...
On the Empirical Equivalence Between Special Relativity and Lorentz's Ether Theory
relativity Einstein Lorentz empirical equivalence empirical evidence non-empirical virtues
2016/6/12
In this paper I argue that the case of Einstein’s special relativity vs. Hendrik Lorentz’s ether theory can be decided in terms of empirical evidence, in spite of the predictive equivalence between th...
Another Look at Empirical Equivalence and Underdetermination of Theory Choice
Empirical equivalence underdetermination theory choice non-empirical virtues empirical evidence confirmation special relativity Hendrik Lorentz
2016/6/12
In 1991 Larry Laudan and Jarret Leplin proposed a solution for the problem of predictive equivalence and empirical underdetermination. In this paper we claim that, even though Laudan and Leplin’s reas...
Leibniz Equivalence. On Leibniz's (Bad) Influence on the Logical Empiricist Interpretation of General Relativity
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Logical Empiricism Philosophical interpretations of General Relativity Point-coincindence argument Hole Argument Indiscernibility arguments Felix Hausdorff Hermann Wey
2011/9/8
Einstein抯 損oint-coincidence argument'?as a response to the 揾ole argument?is usually considered as an expression of 揕eibniz equivalence,?a restatement of indiscernibility in the sense of Leibniz. Throu...
Underdetermination, Realism and Empirical Equivalence
underdetermination empirical equivalence data equivalence structural realism
2009/6/4
Are theories ‘underdetermined by the evidence’ in any way that should worry the scientific realist? I argue that no convincing reason has been given for thinking so. A crucial distinction is drawn bet...
The relativity and equivalence principles for self-gravitating systems
Symmetry Relativity Gravity
2009/4/24
I criticise the view that the relativity and equivalence principles are consequences of the small-scale structure of the metric in general relativity, by arguing that these principles also apply to sy...
on the equivalence of fields of acceleration and gravity
uniformly rotating disc acceleration gravitational fields
2009/4/7
The question of whether the same acceleration eld that is found in a rigid uniformly rotating
disc can annul a gravitational eld is answered in the negative because their curvatures are dierent.There...
The Formal Equivalence of Grue and Green and How It Undoes the New Riddle of Induction
Green Grue
2008/4/21
The hidden strength of Goodman's ingenious "new riddle of induction" lies in the perfect symmetry of grue/bleen and green/blue. The very same sentence forms used to define grue/bleen in terms of green...
Explaining Leibniz equivalence as difference of non-inertial appearances: dis-solution of the Hole Argument and physical individuation of point-events
Hole Argument
2008/4/11
”The last remnant of physical objectivity of space-time” is disclosed in the case of a continuous family of spatially non-compact models of general relativity (GR). The physical individuation of point...
Another look at general covariance and the equivalence of reference frames
General covariance equivalence relativity
2008/4/10
In his general theory of relativity (GR) Einstein sought togeneralize the special-relativistic equivalence of inertial frames to a principle according to which all frames of reference are equivalent. ...
An Elementary Notion of Gauge Equivalence
Gauge Equivalence Asymptotic Boundary Conditions
2008/4/10
An elementary notion of gauge equivalence is introduced that does not require any Lagrangian or Hamiltonian apparatus. It is shown that in the special case of theories, such as general relativity, who...
3D/4D Equivalence, the Twins Paradox, and Absolute Time
three-dimensional four-dimensional physical objects
2008/4/9
The thesis of 3D/4D equivalence states that every three-dimensional description of the world is translatable without remainder into a four-dimensional description, and vice versa. In representing an o...
