What Is A Newtonian System? The Failure Of Energy Conservation And Determinism In Supertasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supertasks recently discussed in the literature purport to display a failure of energy conservation and determinism in Newtonian mechanics. We debate whether these supertasks are admissible as Newtonian systems, with Earman and Norton defending the affirmative and Alper and Bridger the negative.

Social and Ethical Responsibility against Social Determinism
Background: Because of the highlighted role of ethical responsibility in social and individual life, it is looked as an important issue in ethics area. Social responsibility that is defined as a sub-factor of ethical responsibility will have such an important place. What is discussed in responsibility discussions commonly is the “human will”. Responsibility is more based on the free will. In th...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Reacting Laminar Flow Heat and Mass Transfer in Ducts of Arbitrary Cross-Sections for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
This study is concerned with the numerical analysis, formulation, programming and computation of steady, 3D conservation equations of reacting laminar flow heat and mass transfer in ducts of arbitrary cross-sections. The non-orthogonal boundary-fitted coordinate transformation method is applied to the Cartesian form of overall-continuity, momenta, energy and species-continuity equations, parabo...
متن کاملVibration Analysis of Carotid Arteries Conveying Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Surrounding by Tissues
The high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. However, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Inelastic Flows in Channel based on Artificial Compressibility Method
In this study, inelastic constitutive modelling is considered for the simulation of shear-thinning fluids through a circular channel. Numerical solutions are presented for power-law inelastic model, considering axisymmetric Poiseuille flow through a channel. The numerical simulation of such fluid is performed by using the Galerkin finite element approach based on artificial compression method (...
متن کاملThe Role of Fakr Razi’s Theological Presuppositions his Interpretation of the verses about Determinism and Free Will
Abstract: According to the prophetic traditions Interpreting Qur’anic verses based on personal opinions is one of the important points that should be avoided. One of its examples is involving personal theological opinions and principles -which are merely unrevised personal inferences- in interpretation of Quran. Fakhr Razi, according to the Ash'arites, has a deterministic view. This is quite ...
