The Hole Argument and Some Physical and Philosophical Implications
This is a historical-critical study of the hole argument, concentrating on the interface between historical, philosophical and physical issues. Although it includes a review of its history, its primary aim is a discussion of the contemporary implications of the hole argument for physical theories based on dynamical, background-independent space-time structures. The historical review includes Ei...
متن کاملDisregarding the ‘Hole Argument’
Jim Weatherall has argued that Einstein’s hole argument is based on a misleading use of mathematics. I argue on the contrary that Weatherall demands an implausible restriction on how mathematics is used. The hole argument, on the other hand, is in no new danger at all.
متن کاملRegarding the “Hole Argument”
I argue that the Hole Argument is based on a misleading use of the mathematical formalism of general relativity. If one is attentive to mathematical practice, I will argue, the Hole Argument is blocked.
متن کاملGauge and the Hole Argument
In this paper I shall extend the formulation of the hole argument to permutable theories. As covariant theories provides a general mathematical framework for classical physics, permutable theories provide the language for quantum physics. This analogy is deeply founded: as covariant theories are defined functorially on the category of manifolds and local diffeomorphisms with values into the cat...
