Towards a Theory of Spacetime Theories
New York, NY : Springer New York : Imprint: Birkhäuser, 2017
Abstract/Sommario:
This contributed volume is the result of a July 2010 workshop at the University of Wuppertal Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies which brought together world-wide experts from physics, philosophy and history, in order to address a set of questions first posed in the 1950s: How do we compare spacetime theories? How do we judge, objectively, which is the “best” theory? Is there even a unique answer to this question? The goal of the workshop, and of this book, is t ...; [leggi tutto]
