Relativity of Simultaneity and Eternalism: In Defense of Blockworld
Blockworld special relativity presentism
2008/4/22
Ever since the now infamous comments made by Hermann Minkowski in 1908 concerning the proper way to view space-time, the debate has raged as to whether or not the universe should be viewed as a four-d...
Reichenbach's Epsilon Definition of Simultaneity in Historical and Philosophical Perspective
Reichenbach simultaneity convention
2008/4/22
I examine the development of Reichenbach's ideas concerning the conventionality of simultaneity in connection with his ``epsilon''-definition of simultaneity. It does not appear that he ever considere...
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...

structures in spacetimes whose automorphism group, Aut, is either
the inhomogeneous proper orthochronous Galilei or Lorentz gr...
Is Simultaneity Conventional Despite Malament's Result?
simultaneity convention special relativity
2008/4/15
Many take Malaments result that the standard Einstein simultaniety relation is uniquely definable from the causal structure of Minkowski space-time to be tantamount to a refutation of the claim that c...
Discovering the Relativity of Simultaneity How did Einstein take "The Step"?
Relativity of Simultaneity
2008/4/11
It is routinely assumed that Einstein discovered the relativity of simultaneity by thinking about how clocks can be synchronized by light signals, much in accord with the analysis he gave in his 1905 ...
Definition, Convention, and Simultaneity: Malament's Result and Its Alleged Refutation by Sarkar and Stachel
relativity simultaneity convention conventionalism
2008/4/11
The question whether distant simultaneity (relativizedto an inertial frame) has a factual or a conventional status in special relativity has long been disputedand remains in contention even today. At...
Conclusions About the Simultaneity of Two Events
Special Theory of Relativity Lorentz Transformations
2008/4/10
A 'gedanken' experiment is presented whereby two simultaneous events (from the point of view of an obesrver in a train) trigger an explosion which destroys a train. A stationary observer using the Spe...
I develop Special Relativity with backward-light-cone simultaneity, which I call, for reasons made clear in the paper, 'Apparent Simultaneity'. In the first section I show some advantages of this appr...
