On Mass Problem in Relativistic Mechanics and Gravitational Physics
relativistic mass proper mass gravitational force
2008/4/22
The proper mass of a test particle in General Relativity Theory (GRT) is a rest mass, so it is considered principally constant, just as in Kinematics of Special Relativity Theory (SRT). One may think ...
Particles, Objects, and Physics
indistinguishability indiscernibility permutation symmetry
2008/4/22
This thesis analyses the ontological nature of quantum particles. In it I argue that quantum particles, despite their indistinguishability, are objects in much the same way as classical particles. Thi...
It is shown that the Hilbert-Bernays-Quine principle of identity of indiscernibles applies uniformly to all the contentious cases of symmetries in physics, including permutation symmetry in classical ...
This is the table of contents and first chapter of Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scale (Cambridge University Press, 2001), edited by Craig Callender and Nick Huggett. The chapter discusses th...
The paper examines critically some recently published views by Ramsey on the contrast between ab initio and parametrized theories. I argue that, all things being equal, ab initio calculations are inde...
Relational Blockworld: Radically Archimedean Physics
blockworld non-relativistic quantum mechanics
2008/4/22
We introduce a new radically Archimedean geometric (acausal and adynamical) interpretation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics (NRQM) called Relational Blockworld (RBW). We motivate the interpretati...
Simulating Many-Body Models in Physics:Rigorous Results, 'Benchmarks', and Cross-Model Justification
models model rigor rigour mathematical physics
2008/4/21
This paper argues that, for a prospective philosophical analysis of models and simulations to be successful, it must accommodate an account of mathematically rigorous results. Such rigorous results ar...
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...
String Theory - From Physics to Metaphysics
quantum gravity string theory string landscape
2008/4/21
Currently, string theory represents the only advanced approach to a unification of all interactions, including gravity. In spite of the more than thirty years of its existence, the sequence of metamor...
Symmetries and invariances in classical physics
Symmetry Classical Mechanics Curie's Principle
2008/4/21
intended as invariance with respect to a transformation (more precisely, with respect to a transformation group), has acquired more and more importance in modern physics. This Chapter explores in 8 Se...
This is the table of contents and first chapter of "Symmetries in physics: philosophical reflections", edited by Katherine Brading and Elena Castellani, Cambridge University Press, 2003. As the organ...
Synopsis of the Robert and Sarah Boote Conference in Reductionism and Anti-Reductionism in Physics
Reductionism Synopsis
2008/4/21
This document is a synopsis of discussions at the workshop prepared by Nicholaos Jones and Kevin Coffey, with remarks added by by Chuang Liu, John D. Norton, John Earman, Gordon Belot, Mark Wilson, Bo...
The Dynamics of Time and Timelessness:Philosophy, Physics and Prospects for our Life
ontology physics biology consciousness
2008/4/21
We point out that physical behavior is directed by the action principle (or Hamilton principle), while biological behavior is governed
by the Bauer-principle which is directed against the action prin...
The incompleteness of extensional object languages of physics and time reversal. Part 2.
logic of physics intensional semantics for physics
2008/4/21
This continues from Part 1. It is shown how an intensional interpretation of physics object languages can be formalised, and how a syntactic compositional time reversal operator can subsequently be de...
It is pointed out that the organisation of an organism necessarily involves fields which are the
only means to make an approximately simultaneous tuning of the different subsystems of the
organism-...
