چکیده
Professor JeeLoo Liu Our common assumptions: 1. Things persist through time. 2. The familiar objects and persons with which we interact on a regular basis persist from day to day. 3. We ourselves are the same person as the one who existed yesterday and the day before.... The issue: What is it for a thing to persist through time? ___ Two theories: [A]. strict identity (one and the same thing) of wholly present things x = x = x = x t0 t1 t2 t3 .......... tn time

Uniformly moving clocks in special relativity : Time dilatation , but no relativity of simultaneity or length contraction
Time-like and space-like invariant space-time intervals are used to analyse measurements of spatial and temporal distances defined by two spatially-separated clocks. The time dilatation effect is confirmed, but not 'relativity of simultaneity' or 'relativistic length contraction'. How these latter, spurious, effects arise from misuse of the Lorentz transformation is also explained. PACS 03.30.+...
متن کاملProposal for a Satellite-borne Experiment to Test Relativity of Simultaneity in Special Relativity
An orbiting 'photon clock' is proposed to test directly the relativity of simultaneity of special relativity. This is done by comparison of the arrival times at a ground station of three microwave signals transmitted by two satellites following the same low Earth orbit. PACS 03.30.+p Einstein's original paper on special relativity (SR) [1] discussed three physical effects which changed complete...
متن کاملBulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity
In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...
متن کاملOn the Large Deviation of Resequencing Queue Size - A Generalizable Argument involving Moment Generating Functions
I. THE SETUP At time t, let V (t) be the event {the DN is empty at time t}. If V̄ (t), let C∗(t) be the oldest customer in the DN, let W∗(t) be the time C∗(t) has spent in the DN, and let I∗(t) be the queue in the DN which C∗(t) goes through. For n ≥ 0, let E(t, s, n) = {at least n customers arrived at the DN on the interval (t− s, t], out of which at least n have left the DN by t}. Let the size...
متن کاملEvolutionary Reformulation of Quantum Gravity
General Relativity is a background independent theory which identify the gravitational interaction into the metric properties of the space-time and this peculiar nature makes very subtle even simple questions about its quantization. To deal with a canonical method for the fields dynamics necessarily involves the notion of a physical time variable, whose conjugate momentum fixes the Hamiltonian ...
