Newtonian Equivalence Principles

چکیده
Abstract The equivalence principle has constituted one of the cornerstones discussions in foundations spacetime theories over past century. However, up to this point been considered overwhelmingly only within context relativistic physics. In article, we demonstrate that much broader, super-theoretic significance: do so, present a unified framework for understanding its various guises, applicable both and Newtonian contexts. We thereby deepen significantly our role played by broad class theories.

Causal perception is constrained by principles of Newtonian mechanics
Humans irresistibly perceive certain events as causal. We show, for the first time, that there is not one monolithic representation of causality in perception. Rather, there are multiple categories of causal events in perception, one of which is constrained by an approximation of a Newtonian mechanical principle: in an elastic collision, a struck object cannot move at more than double the speed...
متن کاملL - like Combinatorial Principles and Level by Level Equivalence ∗ †
We force and construct a model in which GCH and level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness hold, along with certain additional “L-like” combinatorial principles. In particular, this model satisfies the following properties: 1. ♦δ holds for every successor and Mahlo cardinal δ. 2. There is a stationary subset S of the least supercompact cardinal κ0 such that for e...
متن کاملThe relativity and equivalence principles for self-gravitating systems
I criticise the view that the relativity and equivalence principles are consequences of the small-scale structure of the metric in general relativity, by arguing that these principles also apply to systems with non-trivial self-gravitation and hence non-trivial spacetime curvature (such as black holes). I provide an alternative account, incorporating aspects of the criticised view, which allows...
متن کاملStatic post-Newtonian equivalence of GR and gravity with a dynamical preferred frame
A generally covariant extension of general relativity (GR) in which a dynamical unit timelike vector field is coupled to the metric is studied in the asymptotic weak field limit of spherically symmetric static solutions. The two post-Newtonian parameters known as the Eddington-Robertson-Schiff parameters are found to be identical to those in the case of pure GR, except for some non-generic valu...
متن کاملNewtonian-like and anti-Newtonian universes
In an irrotational dust universe, the locally free gravitational field is covariantly described by the gravito-electric and gravito-magnetic tensors Eab and Hab. In Newtonian theory, Hab = 0 and Eab is the tidal tensor. Newtonian-like dust universes in general relativity (i.e. with Hab = 0, often called ‘silent’) have been shown to be inconsistent in general and unlikely to extend beyond the kn...
