No-common-cause EPR-like funny business in branching space-times
Reichenbach common cause branching space-times
2008/4/22
There is "no EPR-like funny business" if (contrary to
apparent fact) our world is as indeterministic as you wish,
but is free from the EPR-like quantum-mechanical phenomena
such as is sometimes des...
This paper investigates the tenability of wavefunction realism, according to which the quantum mechanical wavefunction is not just a convenient predictive tool, but is a real entity figuring in physic...
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...
I maintain that quantum mechanics is fundamentally about a system of N particles evolving in three-dimensional space, not the wave function evolving in 3N-dimensional space.
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 Arrow of Time in Rigged Hilbert Space Quantum Mechanics
Arrow of Time Quantum Mechanics Irreversibility
2008/4/21
Arno Bohm and Ilya Prigogine's Brussels-Austin Group have been working on the quantum mechanical arrow of time and irreversibility in rigged Hilbert space quantum mechanics. A crucial notion in Bohm's...
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...
Newton’s arguments for the immobility of the parts of absolute space have been used to licence several proposals concerning his metaphysics. This paper clarifies Newton. Notably, it demonstrates, cont...
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...
