Why Einstein did not believe that General Relativity geometrizes gravity
General Relativity Einstein Geometrization Unification Inertia Gravity Geodesic Equation Meyerson
2016/6/14
I argue that, contrary to folklore, Einstein never really cared for geometrizing the gravitational or (subsequently) the electromagnetic field; indeed, he thought that the very statement that General ...
Geodesic Universality in General Relativity
Geodesic Universality Idealization Relativity Theory Einstein
2016/5/31
According to (Tamir, 2012), the geodesic principle strictly interpreted is compatible with Einstein’s field equations only in pathologically unstable circumstances and, hence, cannot play a fundamenta...

Similarity Assessments,Spacetime,and the Gravitational Field:What Does the Metric Tensor Represent in General Relativity?
general relativity metric tensor similarity-based reasoning
2016/5/30
In this paper I explore the dialectics underlying the choice between a geometrical and a field interpretation of the metric tensor gab in general relativity. My aim is to examine the role of a specifi...
Leibniz Equivalence. On Leibniz's (Bad) Influence on the Logical Empiricist Interpretation of General Relativity
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Logical Empiricism Philosophical interpretations of General Relativity Point-coincindence argument Hole Argument Indiscernibility arguments Felix Hausdorff Hermann Wey

Einstein抯 損oint-coincidence argument'?as a response to the 揾ole argument?is usually considered as an expression of 揕eibniz equivalence,?a restatement of indiscernibility in the sense of Leibniz. Throu...
Flavour-Oscillation Clocks and the Geometricity of General Relativity
general relativity geometry clocks
2009/11/20
I look at the ‘flavour-oscillation clocks’ proposed by D.V. Ahluwalia,
and two arguments of his suggesting that such clocks might behave in a way
that threatens the geometricity of general relativit...
General Relativity Needs No Interpretation
general relativity intepretation quantum gravity
2009/6/4
I argue that, contrary to the recent claims of physicists and
philosophers of physics, general relativity requires no
interpretation in any substantive sense of the term. I canvass the
common reaso...
Within the context of general relativity, we consider one definition of a 'time machine' proposed by Earman, Smeenk, and Wuthrich (2009). They conjecture that, under under their definition, the class ...
