Huygens's 1688 Report to the Directors of the Dutch East India Company on the Measurement of Longitude at Sea and the Evidence it Offered Against Universal Gravity
Huygens, Newton, Universal Gravity, Longitude Research
2011/9/8
When Christiaan Huygens prepared the 1686/1687 expedition to the Cape of Good Hope on which his pendulum clocks were to be tested for their usefulness in measuring longitude at sea, he also gave instr...
I examine the early history of quantum gravity and comment on its suitability as an episode that demands an integrated approach to history and philosophy of science.
Geometrizing gravity and vice-versa: the force of a formulation
General Relativity gravity Newton-Cartan Theory
2009/11/20
It is well-known that Newton’s theory of gravity, commonly held to describe
a gravitational force, can be recast in a geometrical form: Newton-
Cartan theory. It is less well-known that general rela...
Quantum Gravity: Motivations and Alternatives
Quantum Gravity Covariant Quantization Canonical Quantization
2009/9/16
The mutual conceptual incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics / Quantum Field Theory is generally seen as the most essential motivation for the development of a theory of Quan...
on the equivalence of fields of acceleration and gravity
uniformly rotating disc acceleration gravitational fields
2009/4/7
The question of whether the same acceleration eld that is found in a rigid uniformly rotating
disc can annul a gravitational eld is answered in the negative because their curvatures are dierent.There...
Quantum Gravity: Has Spacetime Quantum Properties?

The conceptual incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is generally seen as a sufficient motivation for the development of a theory of Quantum Gravity. If - so a typical argum...
Without God: Gravity as a Relational Property of Matter in Newton
Newton, gravity, matter-theory, action at a distance, field ontology, empiricism
2011/9/8
In this paper I interpret Newton’s speculative treatment of gravity as a relational, accidental property of matter that arises through what Newton calls “the shared action” of two bodies of matter. In...
On the Coupling Constants of the Linear Approximation of Gravity and its Generalization
external scalar field godels incompleteness theorem
2008/4/22
Recent discoveries such as the accelerated expansion of the Universe in conjunction with the distribution of gravitational lenses, the anomalous velocity curves of galaxies, and the anomalous accelera...
Absolute Motion and Quantum Gravity
Michelson interferometer Cosmic Microwave Background preferred frame
2008/3/31
A new information-theoretic modelling of reality has given rise to a quantum-foam description of space, relative to which absolute motion is meaningful. In a previous paper it was shown that in this n...
Virtual Gravity and the Duality of Reality
Gravity Reality Virtual Reality Causality Cosmology
2008/3/31
It is shown that a hypothesis about gravity having a virtual cause implies there are two primary reference frames, a reality and a functional virtual reality and an equivalence principle relating the ...
