Space-Time and Probability
Special relativity is most naturally formulated as a theory of spacetime geometry, but within the spacetime framework probability appears to be a purely epistemic notion. It is possible that progress can be made with rather di¤erent approaches covariant stochastic equations, in particular but the results to date are not encouraging. However, it seems a non-epistemic notion of probability can be...
متن کاملProbability and time
Probabilistic reasoning is often attributed a temporal meaning, in which conditioning is regarded as a normative rule to compute future beliefs out of current beliefs and observations. However, the well-established ‘updating interpretation’ of conditioning is not concerned with beliefs that evolve in time, and in particular with future beliefs. On the other hand, a temporal justification of con...
متن کاملProbability and Time Trade-Off
P and time are integral dimensions of virtually any decision. To treat them together, we consider the prospect of receiving outcome x with a probability p at time t. We define risk and time distance, and show that if these two distances are traded off linearly, then preferences are characterized by three functions: a value function, a probability discount rate function, and a psychological dist...
متن کاملTime, Quantum Mechanics, and Probability
A variety of ideas arisiüg in decoherence theory, and in the ongoing debate over Everetts relative-state theory, can be linked to issues in relativity theory and the philosophy of time, speci cally the relational theory of tense and of identity over time. These have been systematically presented in companion papers (Saunders 1995, 1996a); in what follows we shall consider the same circle of id...
