Mass - Energy - Momentum : Only there because of Spacetime ?
I describe how relativistic field theory generalises the paradigm property of material systems, the possession of mass, to the requirement that they have a mass-energy-momentum density tensor Tμν associated with them. I argue that Tμν does not represent an intrinsic property of matter. For it will become evident that the definition of Tμν depends on the metric field gμν in a variety of ways. Ac...
متن کاملMass - Energy - Momentum in General Relativity . Only there because of Spacetime ?
I describe how relativistic field theory generalises the defining property of material systems to possess mass to the requirement of them having a mass-energy-momentum density tensor Tμν (energy tensor for short) associated with them. I argue that according to general relativity Tμν is not an intrinsic property of matter, looking at how the energy tensor for a relativistic material system can b...
متن کاملWhen There Are Only Minorities
Intergroup relation perspectives stem from research in Western contexts with clear distinctions between the dominant and nondominant groups. In South Africa, with at least 13 different cultural groups and 11 official languages, no group is dominant in all life spheres. We examine the relationship between identity and in-/out-group orientation across Black-Zulu, Coloured (mixed racial ancestry),...
متن کاملThere Is Only One Notion of Differentiation
Abstract Differential linear logic was introduced as a syntactic proof-theoretic approach to the analysis of differential calculus. Differential categories were subsequently introduce to provide a categorical model theory for differential linear logic. Differential categories used two different approaches for defining differentiation abstractly: a deriving transformation and a coderiliction. Wh...
متن کاملThere Are No Particles, There Are Only Fields
Quantum foundations are still unsettled, with mixed effects on science and society. By now it should be possible to obtain consensus on at least one issue: Are the fundamental constituents fields or particles? As this paper shows, experiment and theory imply that unbounded fields, not bounded particles, are fundamental. This is especially clear for relativistic systems, implying that it's also ...
