Temporal Arrows in Space-Time
Arrows of time entropy four-dimensional world invariance space-time thermodynamics
2016/6/15
The prevailing current of thought in both physics and philosophy is that relativistic space-time provides no means for the objective measurement of the passage of time. Kurt Gödel, for instance, ...
Space-time,relativity and quantum mechanics:In search of a deeper connection
spacetime translation invariance relativistic invariance linear quantum evolution free Schrodinger equation
2016/6/13
It has been shown that the Lorentz transformations in special relativity can be derived in terms of the principle of relativity and certain properties of space and time such as homogeneity. In this pa...
The GRW flash theory:a relativistic quantum ontology of matter in space-time?
Bell’s theorem Bohmian mechanics collapse of the wave-function dispositionalism GRW flash GRW mass density Humeanism Lorentz-invariance primitive ontology propensities relativistic collapse theory
2016/6/13
John Bell proposed an ontology for the GRW modification of quantum mechanics in terms of flashes occurring at space-time points. The paper spells out the motivation for this ontology, enquires into th...
The back cover text of this excellent monograph closes with a b old remark on its metho dology:“[T]he assumption that the fundamental laws of physics are simple in terms of the fundamental physical pr...
On the problem of emergence of classical space-time: The quantum-mechanical approach
Emergence generalized functions Hilbert space
2008/4/22
The classical space-time structure is derived from the structure of an abstract infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space S. For this S is first realized as a Hilbert space H* of functions of abstr...
Remarks on Space-time and Locality in Everett's Interpretation
quantum mechanics Everett many-minds many-worlds
2008/4/22
Interpretations that follow Everett's idea that (at some level of description) the universal wave function contains a multiplicity of coexisting realities, usually claim to give a completely local acc...
Special relativity is most naturally formulated as a theory of spacetime geometry, but within the spacetime framework probability appears to be a purely epistemic notion. It is possible that progress ...
Space-time relationism in Newtonian and relativistic physics
space time relativity relationism
2008/4/21
I argue that there is a natural relationist interpretation of Newtonian and relativistic non-quantum physics. Although relationist, this interpretation does not fall prey to the traditional objections...
General relativity is commonly thought to imply the existence of a unique metric structure for space-time. A simple example is presented of a general relativistic theory with ambiguous metric structur...
This paper argues that the Einstein-Minkowski space-time of special relativity provides an adequate model for classical tense logic, including rigorous definitions of tensed becoming and of the logica...
Here I develop the idea, which I have presented elsewhere, that time instants are abstract entities existing tenselessly and therefore that events and changes likewise may be said to exist tenselessly...
The Non-Local to Local Space-time Map
Non-local frames Holographic Model of Quantum states
2008/4/21
While for point particles a local theory seems to be sufficient, when it comes to extended objects like Strings and Branes you by rights are not dealing with a specifically fully localized particle to...
The singular nature of space-time
General relativity space-time singularities space-time points
2008/4/21
We consider to what extent the fundamental question of space-time singularities is relevant for the philosophical debate about the nature of space-time. After reviewing some basic aspects of the space...
Moderate structural realism about space-time
structural realism structure relations intrinsic properties
2008/4/15
This paper sets out a moderate version of metaphysical structural realism that stands in contrast to both the epistemic structural realism of Worrall and the – radical – ontic structural realism of Fr...
It is argued that Minkowski space-time cannot serve as the deep structure within a ``constructive'' version of the special theory of relativity, contrary to widespread opinion in the philosophical com...
