Protective measurements and the meaning of the wave function in the de Broglie-Bohm theory
wave function de Broglie-Bohm theory protective measurements
2016/6/13
There are three possible interpretations of the wave function in the de Broglie-Bohm theory: taking the wave function as corresponding to a physical entity or a property of the Bohmian particles or a ...
Similarity,Topology,and Physical Significance in Relativity Theory
similarity topology physical significance general relativity models contextualism
2016/6/13
Stephen Hawking, among others, has proposed that the topological stability of a property of spacetime is a necessary condition for it to be physically significant. What counts as stable, however, depe...
Can the Pessimistic Induction Be Saved from Semantic Anti-Realism about Scientific Theory?
pessimistic induction realism anti-realism supervaluations
2016/6/13
Scientific anti-realists who appeal to the pessimistic induction (PI) claim that the theoretical terms of past scientific theories often fail to refer to anything. But on standard views in philosophy ...
The GRW flash theory:a relativistic quantum ontology of matter in space-time?
Bell’s theorem Bohmian mechanics collapse of the wave-function dispositionalism GRW flash GRW mass density Humeanism Lorentz-invariance primitive ontology propensities relativistic collapse theory
2016/6/13
John Bell proposed an ontology for the GRW modification of quantum mechanics in terms of flashes occurring at space-time points. The paper spells out the motivation for this ontology, enquires into th...
Novel Confirmation and the Underdetermination of Scientific Theory Building
novel confirmation predictivism Bayesianism underdetermiation
2016/6/12
The extra value of novel confirmation over accommodation is explained based on an analysis of the underdetermination of scientific theory building. Novel confirmation can provide information on the nu...
Theory Assessment and Final Theory Claim in String Theory
String Theory Final Theory Claim Underdetermination
2016/6/12
String theory has by now maintained a highly influential position in high energy physics for more than a quarter of a century. The present article analyses the reasons for the considerable trust expon...

2016/6/12
En la Teoría de la Selección Natural, el concepto de función biológica debe suponerse para delimitar el concepto de aptitud; y éste debe suponerse para delimitar el concepto de adaptación y también pa...
On the notion of indiscernibility in the light of Galois-Grothendieck Theory
Galois-Grothendieck Indiscernibility Symmetries-Invariants State-Observable Duality
2016/6/12
We analyze the notion of indiscernibility in the light of the Galois theory of field extensions and the generalization to K-algebras proposed by Grothendieck. Grothendieck's reformulation of Galois th...
Overdetermination in Intuitive Causal Decision Theory
causal decision theory causation overdetermination preemption trumping decisional overdetermination
2016/6/12
Causal decision theory defines a rational action as the one that tends to cause the best outcomes. If we adopt counterfactual or probabilistic theories of causation, then we may face problems in overd...
Time in the theory of relativity:on natural clocks,proper time,the clock hypothesis,and all that
relativity Einstein natural clock atomic clock proper time clock hyothesis
2016/6/12
When addressing the notion of proper time in the theory of relativity, it is usually taken for granted that the time read by an accelerated clock is given by the Minkowski proper time. However, there ...
Rational theory choice:Arrow undermined,Kuhn vindicated
theory choice scientific rationality arrows theorem
2016/6/12
In a recent paper, Samir Okasha presented an argument that suggests that there is no rational way to choose among scientific theories. This would seriously undermine the view that science is a rationa...
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...
Another Look at Empirical Equivalence and Underdetermination of Theory Choice
Empirical equivalence underdetermination theory choice non-empirical virtues empirical evidence confirmation special relativity Hendrik Lorentz
2016/6/12
In 1991 Larry Laudan and Jarret Leplin proposed a solution for the problem of predictive equivalence and empirical underdetermination. In this paper we claim that, even though Laudan and Leplin’s reas...
Proving the Principle:Taking Geodesic Dynamics too Seriously in Einstein's Theory
geodesic principle universality law of motion idealization approximation Einstein general relativity dynamical law phase transitions distributions
2016/5/31
In this paper I critically review the long history of attempts to formulate and derive the geodesic principle, which claims that massive bodies follow geodesic paths in general relativity theory. I ar...
Many discussions of emergence focus on the putatively irreducible causal powers of emergents. I argue that the question of whether emergents are irreducible causes should be postponed in favor of the ...
