Length Matters (I): The Einstein-Swann Correspondence and the Constructive Approach to STR
Principle and constructive theories Einstein Relativity Theories
2008/4/22
In this paper and its sequel I discuss a rarely mentioned correspondence between Einstein and W.F.G. Swann on the constructive approach to the special theory of relativity, in which Einstein points ou...
Photons uncertainty removes Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox locality
2008/4/22
Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) argued that the
quantum-mechanical probabilistic description of physical reality
had to be incomplete, in order to avoid an instantaneous action
between distant m...
Review of Palle Yourgrau's "Gödel Meets Einstein: Time Travel in the Gödel Universe."
Gö del Universe Time Travel
2008/4/22
This is a review of Yourgrau's book, the second edition of his "The Disappearance of Time."
Separability and Non-Individuality : Is it possible toconciliate (at least a form of) Einstein's realism with quantummechanics?
Non-individuality separability quasi-sets
2008/4/22
In this paper we argue that physical theories, including the most
recent ones, even if only implicitly, talk of `objects' (or
`things') of some sort (really, of several sorts), and question the
log...
Some Thoughts on Relativity and the Flow of Time: Einstein's Equations given Absolute Simultaneity
Einstein Relativity
2008/4/21
The A-theory of time has intuitive and metaphysical appeal, but suffers from tension, if not inconsistency, with the special and general theories of relativity (STR and GTR). The A-theory requires a n...
Spacetime Substantivalism and Einstein's Cosmological Constant
cosmological constant substantivalism
2008/4/21
I offer a novel argument for spacetime substantivalism: we should take the spacetime of general relativity to be a substance because of its active role in gravitational causation. As a clear example o...
I discuss various formulations of stochastic Einstein locality (SEL), which is a version of the idea of relativistic causality, i.e. the idea that influences propagate at most as fast as light. SEL is...
This paper argues that the Einstein-Minkowski space-time of special relativity provides an adequate model for classical tense logic, including rigorous definitions of tensed becoming and of the logica...
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Argument and the Bell Inequalities
EPR Bell inequalities Pitowsky Reichenbach
2008/4/21
In 1935 Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) published an important paper in which they claimed that the whole formalism of quantum mechanics together with what they called ``Reality Criterion'' imply ...
The interpretation of the Einstein-Rupp experiments and their influence on the history of quantum mechanics
Albert Einstein Emil Rupp Einstein-Rupp experiments
2008/4/21
The Einstein-Rupp experiments were proposed in 1926 by Albert Einstein to study the wave versus particle nature of light. Einstein presented a theoretical analysis of these experiments to the Berlin A...
The Turning Point for Einstein's Annus Mirabilis
Einstein Light quantum Blackbody radiation
2008/4/21
The year 1905 has been called Einstein's annus mirabilis
in virtue of three ground-breaking works completed over the span of a few months --- the light quantum paper (Einstein, 1905a), the Brownian ...
When champions meet: Rethinking the Bohr--Einstein debate
Bohr-Einstein debate EPR objectification
2008/4/18
Einstein's philosophy of physics (as clarified by Fine, Howard, and Held) was predicated on his Trennungsprinzip, a combination of separability and locality, without which he believedobjectification...
Interpretations of Einstein’s equation differ primarily concerning whether E = mc2 entails that mass and energy are the same property of physical systems, and hence whether there is any sense in which...
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...
History of Science and the Material Theory of Induction:Einstein’s Quanta, Mercury’s Perihelion
the Material Theory of Induction History of Science
2008/4/14
The use of the material theory of induction to vindicate a scientist’s claims of evidential warrant is illustrated with the cases of Einstein’s thermodynamic argument for light quanta of 1905 and his ...
