General Relativity and Quantum Theory - Ontological Investigations
It is common to note that the two great theoretical frameworks of twentieth-century physics, quantum theory and general relativity, are prima facie incompatible. Within the physics community, the incompatibility is largely discussed on a technical level. In this paper, I would like to frame the problem more conceptually, focussing on the respective ontologies of the two frameworks. When I speak...
متن کاملCultural Relativity of Moral Precepts
The foundation of most intellectual discourse is Western-centric to the exclusion of other views. This includes ideal patterns of social interaction, preference for aesthetic, accepted norms and values, and the concepts of dignity, respectability, morality and ethics. Such a position is culturally myopic. Western cultural influence colors all of them including moral precepts. The assumption is ...

art critique, the analysis of artworks in formal procedure, is the path which connects the public to the art productions; and although its main aim is to judge the piece, right or wrong, delightful or ugly, the main benefit of this effort is to make the subject comprehensible. to achieve this goal, the art critic should interpret the subject thoroughly, relying on the art production as the main...
متن کاملStrong-coupled Relativity without Relativity
GR can be interpreted as a theory of evolving 3-geometries. A recent such formulation, the 3-space approach of Barbour, Foster and Ó Murchadha, also permits the construction of a limited number of other theories of evolving 3-geometries, including conformal gravity and strong gravity. In this paper, we use the 3-space approach to construct a 1-parameter family of theories which generalize stron...
متن کاملrelativity ∗
We present some basic facts concerning simultaneity in both special and general relativity. We discuss Weyl’s proof of the consistence of Einstein’s synchronization convention and consider the general relativistic problem of assigning a time function to a congruence of timelike curves. 1 Simultaneity in special relativity In special relativity the possibility of synchronizing distant clocks so ...
