Reconciling Spacetime and the Quantum: Relational Blockworld and the Quantum Liar Paradox
blockworld non-relativistic quantum mechanics entanglement
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/22
The Relational Blockworld (RBW) interpretation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics(NRQM) is introduced. Accordingly, the spacetime of NRQM is a relational, nonseparableblockworld whereby spatial dis...
SPACETIME OR QUANTUM PARTICLES: THE ONTOLOGY OF QUANTUM GRAVITY?
quantum gravity
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
The domains of quantum theory and general relativity overlap in situations where quantum mechanical effects cannot be ignored. In order to deal with this overlap of theoretical domains, there has been...
Spacetime and Conventionalism
Conventionalism Spacetime
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
A suggestion is made as to the core of the allegation of Salmon and others that simultaneity is non-conventional in Newtonian spacetime but conventional in Minkowski spacetime.
Spacetime and Structure: Structural Realism, Neo-Kantianism Idealism, or Relativized A Priorism?
spacetime structural realism structuralism
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
The essay examines the relationship, within spacetime theories, between contemporary structural realism, Cassirer’s neo-Kantian structuralism, and Friedman’s defense of the relativized a priori. Despi...
Spacetime and the Philosophical Challenge of QuantumGravity
quantum gravity conceptual problems of quantum theory and general relativity
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a
quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories...
Spacetime Memory: Phase-Locked Geometric Phases
quantum computing geometric phase berry
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
Spacetime memory is defined with a holonomic approach to
information processing, where multi-state stability is introduced by a non-linear phase-locked loop. Geometric phases serve as the carrier of ...
Spacetime Substantivalism and Einstein's Cosmological Constant
cosmological constant substantivalism
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
I offer a novel argument for spacetime substantivalism: we should take the spacetime of general relativity to be a substance because of its active role in gravitational causation. As a clear example o...
Spacetime, Ontology, and Structural Realism
spacetime structural realism substantivalism
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
This essay explores the possibility of constructing a structural realist interpretation of spacetime theories that can resolve the ontological debate among substantivalists and relationists. Drawing o...
Spacetime, Structural Realism, and the Substantival/Relational Debate: An Ontological Investigation from the Perspective of Structural Realism in the Philosophy of Mathematics
spacetime structural realism substantivalism relationism
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
This essay explores structural realist interpretation of spacetime with special emphasis on the close interrelationship between, on the one hand, ontological debates in spacetime structural realism an...
The irrelevance of the presentist/eternalist debate for the ontology of Minkowski spacetime
Presentism eternalism Minkowski spacetime Ontology
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
In this paper I argue that the debate between the so-called “presentists” – according to whom only the present is real – and the “eternalists”, according to whom past present and future are equally re...
The origin of the spacetime metric: Bell's `Lorentzian pedagogy' and its significance in general relativity
special relativity general relativity space-time metric
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the `Lorentzian Pedagogy' defended by J.S. Bell in his essay ``How to teach special relativity'', and to explore its consistency with Einstein's thinking from ...
What Branching Spacetime Might Do for Physics
branching spacetime non-Hausdorff quantum gravity
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/18
In recent years, the branching spacetime (BST) interpretation of quantum mechanics has come under study by a number of philosophers, physicists and mathematicians. This paper points out some implicati...
On the Ontology of Spacetime in a Frame of Reference
spacetime ontology frame of reference reference frame
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/15
The spacetime ontology is considered in General Relativity (GR) in view of the choice of a frame of reference (FR). Various approaches to a description of the FR, such as coordinate systems, monads an...
Is Structural Spacetime Realism Relationism in Disguise? The supererogatory nature of the substantivalism/relationism debate
spacetime structural realism general theory of relativity
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/15
The paper defends two claims;(1) Viewed from the perspective of the substantivalism/relationism debate, structural spacetime realism (i.e., the view that spacetime is exemplified structure) is a form ...
Events and observables in generally invariant spacetime theories
Spacetime Events General covariance
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/11
We address the problem of observables in generally invariant spacetime theories such as Einstein's general relativity. Using the refined notion of an event as a "point-coincidence" between scalar fiel...
