The aim of this essay is to emphasize the latter: the indirect influence of Minkowski on Whitehead Concepts of space and time have been closely connected with matter since the time of the ancient Greeks. After a brief detour Rigidity and the Ruler Hypothesis Stephen N.
In special relativity, one often speaks of rigid rods, looking at them in one inertial frame or another and observing that they do not always have the same length, despite their rigidity. This paper is about what happens to the rod as it gets from one inertial frame to another, i. The problem is not entirely academic.
For those who would like to model extended charge distributions A paradigm shift distinguishes general relativity from classical mechanics. In general relativity the energy-momentum tensor is the effective cause of the ontological space-time curvature and vice-versa, while in classical physics, the structure of space-time is treated as an accidental cause, serving only as a backdrop against which the laws of physics unfold.
This split in turn is inherited by quantum Non-relativistic quantum field theories NQFTs are invariant under the action of the symmetry group of a classical spacetime; i. This essay is concerned with cashing out two implications In this paper we revisit some of the reasons given by Einstein that resulted in his change of mind about the ether from denying to defending its existence. This view is contrasted to the more traditional intuitionism of Hume, Mach, and Husserl.
By employing a geometric approach, such asMinkowski pioneered, it is argued that the lived-space theoristscan gain a better insight into objectivity of spatialrelationships. Add an author who is a portal user Add a recipient who is not a portal user.

DOI: Nerlich Published Physics Spacetime realism requires that it is not hidden and not a cause. Its style of explanation is geometrical. It is argued that causal explanation is unworkable for cases of pure gravitation.
Non-causal explanation is geometrical and exploits several identities where one might expect causal explanation. Thus a realist understanding of General Relativity is to be preferred. View via Publisher. Save to Library Save. Create Alert Alert.
