Empirical Equivalence, Scientific Realism and String Theory
The phenomenon of duality in string theory provides an example of the underdetermination of the theoretical scheme by all possible empirical data. Empirically equivalent theories which arise due to string dualities differ in essential characteristics like the dimension and the topological position of their elementary objects and the form and dimensionality of spacetime. The obvious ontological ...
متن کاملOn Bayesian Measures of Evidential Support: Theoretical and Empirical Issues*
Epistemologists and philosophers of science have often attempted to express formally the impact of a piece of evidence on the credibility of a hypothesis.

I br...
