An Adynamical,Graphical Approach to Quantum Gravity and Unification
quantum gravity unification lattice gauge theory Regge calculus path integral graphs
2016/6/15
We propose an adynamical, background independent approach to quantum gravity and unification whereby the fundamental elements of Nature are graphical units of space, time and sources (in parlance of q...
Unification and the quantum hypothesis in 1900--1913
confirmation quantum hypothesis unification informational relevance Bayesian analysis
2016/6/14
In this paper, I consider some of the first appearances of a hypothesis of quantized energy between the years 1900 and 1913 and provide an analysis of the nature of the unificatory power of this hypot...
Unification and Revolution:A Paradigm for Paradigms
Kuhn incommensurability unification paradigm normal science metaphysics scientific method scientific revolution Popper scientific discovery scientific progress
2016/5/30
On the first of the two occasions I met Thomas Kuhn, we immediately plunged into a ferocious but very friendly argument about incommensurability. He was for it, I was against. Believing in incommensur...
A Study in Theory Unification: The case of Kaluza-Klein Theories
Unification Explanation Scientific Understanding
2009/11/20
In this paper, I call attention to the higher dimensional unified field theory program that has culminated in a class of higher dimensional spacetime theories, called the Kaluza-Klein (KK) theories, a...
In this paper I try to capture Newton's notion and practice of unification (I will mainly focus on the Principia). I will use contemporary theories on unification in philosophy of science as analytic ...
Non-Empirical Requirements Scientific Theories Must Satisfy: Simplicity, Unification, Explanation, Beauty
Simplicity Unification Eplanation ymmetry
2008/4/22
A scientific theory, in order to be accepted as a part of theoretical scientific knowledge, must satisfy both empirical and non-empirical requirements, the latter having to do with simplicity, unity, ...
Explanation, unification, and what chemistry gets from causation
unification causation chemistry
2008/4/22
I consider a way the concept of causation could be excised from chemical practice, suggested by Kitcher's view that causes are just a subset of unifying patterns which play a particular psychological ...
Gauge Gravity and the Unification of Natural Forces
the Unification of Natural Forces Gauge Gravity
2008/4/14
Physics seems to tell us that there are four fundamental force-fields in nature: the gravitational, the electromagnetic, the weak, and the strong force-field (or interactions). But it also seems to te...
A priori prejudice in Weyl's unintended unification of gravitation and electricity
general relativity electromagnetism
2008/4/9
It is almost always claimed that Weyl deliberately unified gravitation and electricity in the rectification of general relativity he attempted in 1918. In fact the unification, as Bergia and Ryckman h...
