Losing energy in classical, relativistic and quantum mechanics.
Zeno supertask conservation laws
2008/4/15
A Zenonian supertask involving an infinite number of colliding balls is considered, under the restriction that the total mass of all the balls is finite. Classical mechanics leads to the conclusion th...
Is Quantum Mechanics An Island in Theoryspace?
quantum computing nonlinear quantum mechanics
2008/4/15
This paper investigates what happens if we change quantum mechanics in several ways. The main results are as follows. First, if we replace the 2-norm by some other p-norm, then there are no nontrivial...
In a recent issue of the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science (2005), P.E. Vermaas claims to have demonstrated that standard quantum mechanics is technologically inadequate in that it violate...
According to a standard view of the second law of thermodynamics, our belief in the second law can be justified by pointing out that low entropy macrostates are less probable than high entropy macrost...
Interventionism in Statistical Mechanics: Some Philosophical Remarks
statistical mechanics entropy
2008/4/15
Interventionism is an approach to the foundations of statistical mechanics which says that to explain and predict some of the thermodynamic phenomena we need to take into account the inescapable effec...
Implications of quantum theory in the foundations of statistical mechanics
Statistical mechanics
2008/4/14
An investigation is made into how the foundations of
statistical mechanics are affected once we treat classical mechanics as an approximation to quantum mechanics in certain domains rather than as a ...
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...
Holism, Physical Theories and Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics Physical Theories Holism
2008/4/14
Motivated by the question what it is that makes quantum mechanics a holistic theory (if so), I try to define for general physical theories what we mean by `holism'. For this purpose I propose an epist...
Generating Ontology: From Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Field Theory
quantum field theory particle physics
2008/4/14
Philosophical interpretations of theories generally presuppose that a theory can be presented as a consistent mathematical formulation that is interpreted through models. Algebraic quantum field theor...
EPR Paradox and the Physical Meaning of an Experiment in Quantum Mechanics
the Physical Meaning of an Experiment EPR Paradox
2008/4/11
It is shown that there is one purely deterministic outcome when
measurement is made on the state function chosen by EPR to describe the
combined two-particle system – the distance between the two pa...
There is a recurring line of argument in the literature to the effect that Bohm’s theory fails to solve the measurement problem. I show that this argument fails in all its variants. Hence Bohm’s theor...
Electromagnetic Models of the Electron and the Transition from Classical to Relativistic Mechanics
electromagnetic worldview classical electron
2008/4/11
This paper is part II of a trilogy on the transition from classical particle mechanics to relativistic continuum mechanics that one of the authors is working on. The first part, on the Trouton experim...
Early Greek Thought and Perspectives for the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: Preliminaries to an Ontological Approach.
Quantum Mechanics Ontology Measurement
2008/4/11
It will be shown in this article that an ontological approach for some problems related to the interpretation of Quantum Mechanics could emerge from a re-evaluation of the main paradox of early Greek ...
D. Dieks has proposed a semantical rule which he claims yields a realistic interpretation of the formalism of quantum mechanics without the projection postulate. I argue that his proposal is unaccepta...
It has long been recognized that a local hidden variable theory of quantum mechanics can in principle be constructed, provided one is willing to countenance pre-measurement correlations between the pr...
