On the problem of emergence of classical space-time: The quantum-mechanical approach
Emergence generalized functions Hilbert space
2008/4/22
The classical space-time structure is derived from the structure of an abstract infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space S. For this S is first realized as a Hilbert space H* of functions of abstr...
Remarks on Space-time and Locality in Everett's Interpretation
quantum mechanics Everett many-minds many-worlds
2008/4/22
Interpretations that follow Everett's idea that (at some level of description) the universal wave function contains a multiplicity of coexisting realities, usually claim to give a completely local acc...
Special relativity is most naturally formulated as a theory of spacetime geometry, but within the spacetime framework probability appears to be a purely epistemic notion. It is possible that progress ...
Space-time relationism in Newtonian and relativistic physics
space time relativity relationism
2008/4/21
I argue that there is a natural relationist interpretation of Newtonian and relativistic non-quantum physics. Although relationist, this interpretation does not fall prey to the traditional objections...
General relativity is commonly thought to imply the existence of a unique metric structure for space-time. A simple example is presented of a general relativistic theory with ambiguous metric structur...
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...
Here I develop the idea, which I have presented elsewhere, that time instants are abstract entities existing tenselessly and therefore that events and changes likewise may be said to exist tenselessly...
The Non-Local to Local Space-time Map
Non-local frames Holographic Model of Quantum states
2008/4/21
While for point particles a local theory seems to be sufficient, when it comes to extended objects like Strings and Branes you by rights are not dealing with a specifically fully localized particle to...
The singular nature of space-time
General relativity space-time singularities space-time points
2008/4/21
We consider to what extent the fundamental question of space-time singularities is relevant for the philosophical debate about the nature of space-time. After reviewing some basic aspects of the space...
Moderate structural realism about space-time
structural realism structure relations intrinsic properties
2008/4/15
This paper sets out a moderate version of metaphysical structural realism that stands in contrast to both the epistemic structural realism of Worrall and the – radical – ontic structural realism of Fr...
It is argued that Minkowski space-time cannot serve as the deep structure within a ``constructive'' version of the special theory of relativity, contrary to widespread opinion in the philosophical com...
Modern cosmology treats space and time, or rather space-time, as concrete particulars. The General Theory of Relativity combines the distribution of matter and energy with the curvature of space-time....
General Covariance and the Objectivity of Space-Time Point-Events
Hole Argument Space-time Objectivity Physical Individuation
2008/4/14
"The last remnant of physical objectivity of space-time"is disclosed, beyond the Leibniz equivalence, in the case of a continuous family of spatially non-compact models of general relativity. The "phy...
``Branching space-time'' is a simple blend of relativity
and indeterminism. Postulates and definitions
rigorously describe the ``causal order'' relation
between possible point events. The key postu...
