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...
Teleología Naturalizada:Los conceptos de funcion,aptitud y adaptacion en la Teoría de la Seleccion Natural (Naturalized Teleology:The concepts of function,fitness and adaptation in Natural Selection Theory)
adaptación aptitud diseno funcion teleología Teoria de la Selección Natural adaptation design fitness function teleology Natural Selection Theory
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...
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 ...
Topos-Theoretic Approaches to Quantum Theory
Topos theory quantum logic category theory operational quantum mechanics
2016/5/31
Starting from a naive investigation into the nature of experiments on a physical system one can argue that states of the system should pair non-degenerately with physical observables. This duality is ...
Recent years have seen a good deal of work done on one of the most mind blowing and conceptually radical views in quantum mechanics, namely the ‘many worlds’ interpretation of quantum mechanics. Many ...
Theory-laden experimentation
theory-ladenness experiment data conflicts independent support novelty theoretical virtues star light bending
2016/5/31
The thesis of theory-ladenness of observations, in its various guises, is widely considered as either ill-conceived or harmless to the rationality of science. The latter view rests partly on the work ...
Experiment and Theory Building
experiment theory building Laudan Nickels Franklin epistemic realism constructivism theory change
2016/5/31
I examine the role of inference from experiment in theory building. What are the options open to the scientific community when faced with an experimental result that appears to be in conflict with acc...
While Bayesian analysis has enjoyed notable success with many particular problems of inductive inference, it is not the one true and universal logic of induction. I review why the Bayesian approach fa...
What can we Learn about the Ontology of Space and Time from the Theory of Relativity

2016/5/30
This chapter presents an opinionated assessment of what we can learn about the ontology of space and time from the special and general theories of relativity. It uses the requirements of novelty, mode...
