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...
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...
Special Relativity and the Future: A Defense of the Point Present
time temporality indeterminacy tense special relativity
2008/4/21
In this paper, I defend a theory of local temporality, sometimes referred to as a point-present theory. This theory has the great advantage that it allows for the possibility of an open future without...
Special Relativity, Coexistence and Temporal Parts: A Reply to Gilmore
special relativity coexistence temporal parts
2008/4/21
In two earlier works (Balashov, 2000a and 2000b), I have argued that considerations based on special relativity and the notion of coexistence favor the perdurance view of persistence over its enduranc...

Special relativity time spacetime quantum theory
2008/4/21
McTaggart distinguished two conceptions of time: the A-series, according to which events are either past, present or future; and the B-series, according to which events are merely earlier or later tha...
Why special relativity should not be a template for a fundamental reformulation of quantum mechanics
Clifton-Bub-Halvorson theorem principle vs constructive theories
2008/4/15
In a comparison of the principles of special relativity and of quantum mechanics, the former theory is marked by its relative economy and apparent explanatory simplicity. A number of theorists have th...
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...
Lorentz's theory and special relativity are completely identical

Withdrawn by the author! The main content of this paper has been moved into "Szabó, László E., Does special relativity theory tell us anything new about space and time?
In recounting his discovery of special relativity, Einstein recalled a debt to the philosophical writings of Hume and Mach. I review the path Einstein took to special relativity and urge that, at a cr...
Drawing the Line Between Kinematics and Dynamics in Special Relativity
Lorentz invariance Minkowski space-time
2008/4/11
In his book, Physical Relativity, Harvey Brown challenges the orthodox view that special relativity is preferable to those parts of Lorentz's classical ether theory it replaced because it revealed var...
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...
Comment on "On the logical consistency of special relativity theory and non-Euclidean geometries: Platonism versus formalism"
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...
Balashov on Special Relativity, Coexistence, and Temporal Parts
Balashov persistence endurance
2008/4/10
Yuri Balashov has argued that endurantism (the view that material objects persist by being wholly present at each moment of their careers) is untenable in the context of Minkowski spacetime. Balashov’...
