Is Structural Spacetime Realism Relationism in Disguise? The supererogatory nature of the substantivalism/relationism debate
spacetime structural realism general theory of relativity
2008/4/15
The paper defends two claims;(1) Viewed from the perspective of the substantivalism/relationism debate, structural spacetime realism (i.e., the view that spacetime is exemplified structure) is a form ...
Events and observables in generally invariant spacetime theories
Spacetime Events General covariance
2008/4/11
We address the problem of observables in generally invariant spacetime theories such as Einstein's general relativity. Using the refined notion of an event as a "point-coincidence" between scalar fiel...
Einstein insisted throughout his life that the signal achievement of his general theory of relativity was its general covariance. How are we to reconcile this with the now common view that general cov...
Condensed Matter Physics and the Nature of Spacetime
spacetime condensed matter effective field theory
2008/4/10
This essay considers the prospects of modeling spacetime as a phenomenon that emerges in the low-energy limit of a quantum liquid. It evaluates three examples of spacetime analogues in condensed matte...
“Time Travel” in Godel Spacetime: Why It Doesn’t Pay to Work Out All the Kinks
Time Travel Godel Spacetime
2008/4/9
Here we provide a proof that there exist closed timelike curves in Gödel spacetime with total acceleration less than 2π(9 + 6√3)^1/2. This answers a question posed by David Malament.
Newton and Einstein each in his way showed us the following: an epistemologically responsible physicist adopts the most measured understanding possible of spacetime structure. The proper way to infer ...
Spacetime and Structuralism: Epistemological Realism or Relativized A Priorism?
spacetime structural realism relativized a priori
2008/3/31
The subject of this essay is the relationship, within spacetime theories, between contemporary structural realism and Michael Friedman’s recent defense of the relativized a priori. Despite Friedman’s ...

This paper has two goals. (i) I explore the limits of the mathematical theory of spacetime (more generally, differential geometry) as an analytical tool for interpreting early modern thought. While it...
