  • Constructive Axiomatics for Spacetime Physics

    by Emily Adlam, Niels Linnemann, James Read ...
    The programme of 'constructive axiomatics', promulgated by Hans Reichenbach in 1924, seeks to build up the architecture of our best theories of physics from basic axioms supposedly imbued with immediate and indubitable empirical content. Taking inspiration from Reichenbach, Hermann Weyl proposed his own 'causal-inertial' approach to the constructive axiomatization of Einstein's general relativity, ... Read more

  • Saving Science from Quantum Mechanics

    The Epistemology of the Measurement Problem

    by Emily Adlam ...
    The quantum measurement problem refers to a collection of unresolved questions about what happens during the measurement of a quantum system. The measurement problem must be solved in order for us to understand what kind of underlying reality could be compatible with the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. The existing literature on the measurement problem typically views the problem ... Read more

  • Many Worlds?

    Everett, Quantum Theory, & Reality

    Edited by Simon Saunders, Jonathan Barrett, Adrian Kent, David Wallace ...
    What does realism about the quantum state imply? What follows when quantum theory is applied without restriction, if need be, to the whole universe? These are the questions which an illustrious team of philosophers and physicists debate in this volume. All the contributors are agreed on realism, and on the need, or the aspiration, for a theory that unites micro- and macroworlds, at least in ... Read more

  • Just Plain Wrong

    The Dalliance of Quantum Theory with the Defiance of Bell's Inequality

    by Frank Lad ...
    The educated public have long been regaled with "the mysteries of quantum physics", which enshroud far - flung claims about the fundamental nature of matter. These rely on a stunning proposition of quantum theory arising in the 1960s and contested through the subsequent sixty years: that the probabilities deriving from it defy a mathematical inequality known as Bell's inequality. John Bell himself ... Read more

  • Interpreting Quantum Theory

    A Therapeutic Approach

    by S. Friederich ...
    Series series New Directions in the Philosophy of Science
    Is it possible to approach quantum theory in a 'therapeutic' vein that sees its foundational problems as arising from mistaken conceptual presuppositions? The book explores the prospects for this project and, in doing so, discusses such fascinating issues as the nature of quantum states, explanation in quantum theory, and 'quantum non-locality'. ...

  • The Singular Universe and the Reality of Time

    A Proposal in Natural Philosophy

    by Roberto Mangabeira Unger, Lee Smolin ...
    Cosmology is in crisis. The more we discover, the more puzzling the universe appears to be. How and why are the laws of nature what they are? A philosopher and a physicist, world-renowned for their radical ideas in their fields, argue for a revolution. To keep cosmology scientific, we must replace the old view in which the universe is governed by immutable laws by a new one in which laws evolve. ... Read more

  • Relational Passage of Time

    by Matias Slavov ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Metaphysics
    This book defends a relational theory of the passage of time. The realist view of passage developed in this book differs from the robust, substantivalist position. According to relationism, passage is nothing over and above the succession of events, one thing coming after another. Causally related events are temporally arranged as they happen one after another along observers’ worldlines. There is ... Read more
