How to Reconcile Modal Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics with Relativity
Quantum mechanics modal interpretations relational properties
2008/4/14
Recent no go theorems by Dickson and Clifton (1998), Arntzenius (1998) and Myrvold (2002) demonstrate that current modal interpretations are incompatible with relativity. In this paper we propose stra...
In recounting his discovery of special relativity, Einstein recalled a debt to the philosophical writings of Hume and Mach. I review the path Einstein took to special relativity and urge that, at a cr...
Holism and Structuralism in Classical and Quantum General Relativity
Structuralism Holism Spacetime
2008/4/14
The main aim of our paper is to show that interpretative issues
belonging to classical General Relativity (GR) might be
preliminary to a deeper understanding of conceptual problems
stemming from on...
General Relativity and the Probability Interpretation of Everett’s Relative State Formulation
multiple worlds interpretation geon
2008/4/14
One of the primary conceptual difficulties facing the multiple worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics is the interpretation of the Born rule measure as a probability. Given that each world i...
Drawing the Line Between Kinematics and Dynamics in Special Relativity
Lorentz invariance Minkowski space-time
2008/4/11
In his book, Physical Relativity, Harvey Brown challenges the orthodox view that special relativity is preferable to those parts of Lorentz's classical ether theory it replaced because it revealed var...
Does special relativity theory tell us anything new about space and time?
special relativity space-time operationalism
2008/4/11
It will be shown that, in comparison with the pre-relativistic Galileo-invariant conceptions, special relativity tells us nothing new about the geometry of spacetime. It simply calls something else "s...
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 ...
Einstein’s First Systematic Exposition of General Relativity
general relativity general covariance field equations
2008/4/11
This paper will serve as the editorial note on Einstein's 1916 review article on general relativity in a planned volume with all of Einstein's papers in Annalen der Physik. It summarizes much of my ot...
Dynamical Emergence of Instantaneous 3-Spaces in a Class of Models of General Relativity
Achronal 3-spaces in GR Distant simultaneity Endurantism
2008/4/11
The Hamiltonian structure of General Relativity (GR), for
both metric and tetrad gravity in a definite continuous family of space-times, is fully exploited in order to show that: i) the "Hole Argumen...
Comment on "On the logical consistency of special relativity theory and non-Euclidean geometries: Platonism versus formalism"
special theory of relativity undecidable propositions
2008/4/10
As observed in the PhilSci preprint ID Code 1255 [1], consistency in the author's proposed non-Aristotelian finitary logic (NAFL) demands that Euclid's fifth postulate must necessarily be provable fro...
Classical Relativity Theory
relativity theory spacetime structure Newtonian gravitation theory
2008/4/10
This survey article is divided into two parts. In the first (section 2), I give a brief account of the structure of classical relativity theory. In the second (section 3), I discuss three special topi...
Change Without Change, and How to Observe it in General Relativity
change general relativity observables
2008/4/10
All change involves temporal variation of properties. There is change in the physical world only if genuine physical magnitudes take on different values at different times. We defend the possibility o...
Becoming, relativity and locality
Time tense relativity
2008/4/10
It is a central aspect of our ordinary concept of time thathistory unfolds and events come into being. It is only natural to take this seriously. However, it is notoriously difficult to explain furthe...
Balashov on Special Relativity, Coexistence, and Temporal Parts
Balashov persistence endurance
2008/4/10
Yuri Balashov has argued that endurantism (the view that material objects persist by being wholly present at each moment of their careers) is untenable in the context of Minkowski spacetime. Balashov’...
Within the framework of general relativity, in some cases at least, it is a delicate and interesting question just what it means to say that an extended body is or is not "rotating". It is so for two ...
