Newton, the Parts of Space, and Spacetime Structuralism
Newton, space and time, structuralism, Early Modern physics
2011/9/8
This essay will investigate the interrelationship between the parts of space and topological and metrical structure in Newton’s natural philosophy, as well as its influence in contemporary spacetime d...
Reconciling Spacetime and the Quantum: Relational Blockworld and the Quantum Liar Paradox
blockworld non-relativistic quantum mechanics entanglement
2008/4/22
The Relational Blockworld (RBW) interpretation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics(NRQM) is introduced. Accordingly, the spacetime of NRQM is a relational, nonseparableblockworld whereby spatial dis...
The domains of quantum theory and general relativity overlap in situations where quantum mechanical effects cannot be ignored. In order to deal with this overlap of theoretical domains, there has been...
A suggestion is made as to the core of the allegation of Salmon and others that simultaneity is non-conventional in Newtonian spacetime but conventional in Minkowski spacetime.
Spacetime and Structure: Structural Realism, Neo-Kantianism Idealism, or Relativized A Priorism?
spacetime structural realism structuralism
2008/4/21
The essay examines the relationship, within spacetime theories, between contemporary structural realism, Cassirer’s neo-Kantian structuralism, and Friedman’s defense of the relativized a priori. Despi...
Spacetime and the Philosophical Challenge of QuantumGravity
quantum gravity conceptual problems of quantum theory and general relativity
2008/4/21
We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a
quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories...
Spacetime memory is defined with a holonomic approach to
information processing, where multi-state stability is introduced by a non-linear phase-locked loop. Geometric phases serve as the carrier of ...
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...
This essay explores the possibility of constructing a structural realist interpretation of spacetime theories that can resolve the ontological debate among substantivalists and relationists. Drawing o...
Spacetime, Structural Realism, and the Substantival/Relational Debate: An Ontological Investigation from the Perspective of Structural Realism in the Philosophy of Mathematics
spacetime structural realism substantivalism relationism
2008/4/21
This essay explores structural realist interpretation of spacetime with special emphasis on the close interrelationship between, on the one hand, ontological debates in spacetime structural realism an...
The irrelevance of the presentist/eternalist debate for the ontology of Minkowski spacetime
Presentism eternalism Minkowski spacetime Ontology
2008/4/21
In this paper I argue that the debate between the so-called “presentists” – according to whom only the present is real – and the “eternalists”, according to whom past present and future are equally re...
The origin of the spacetime metric: Bell's `Lorentzian pedagogy' and its significance in general relativity
special relativity general relativity space-time metric
2008/4/21
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the `Lorentzian Pedagogy' defended by J.S. Bell in his essay ``How to teach special relativity'', and to explore its consistency with Einstein's thinking from ...
What Branching Spacetime Might Do for Physics
branching spacetime non-Hausdorff quantum gravity
2008/4/18
In recent years, the branching spacetime (BST) interpretation of quantum mechanics has come under study by a number of philosophers, physicists and mathematicians. This paper points out some implicati...
Why is Time Frame-dependent in Relativity? Minkowski's spacetime as a Kantian 'condition of possibility' for relativistic calculations
Special relativity Ontology
2008/4/18
The kinematic consequences of special relativity can be expressed in three-dimensional language. Remarkably, this does not mean that, for making special relativity operational, positing a three-dimens...
On the Ontology of Spacetime in a Frame of Reference
spacetime ontology frame of reference reference frame
2008/4/15
The spacetime ontology is considered in General Relativity (GR) in view of the choice of a frame of reference (FR). Various approaches to a description of the FR, such as coordinate systems, monads an...
