Reconsidering Born's Postulate and Collapse Theory
Foundations of quantum mechanics Born’s postulate fluctuations in space and time wave collapse hidden variables
2016/6/15
We investigate the possibility that the amplitude of quantum wave can have a deeper physical meaning other than the probabilistic interpretation base on Born’s postulate. We find that the probabilisti...
I explore the reduction of thermodynamics to statistical mechanics by treating the former as a control theory: a theory of which transitions between states can be induced on a system (assumed to obey ...
In this article I try to once again endorse absolute time into the Philosophy of Physics. The way I endorse absolute time is quite natural and as far as I know is new in debate (c.f. 1CThe fate of pre...
Kuhnian theory-choice,the GWS model,and the neutral current
theory-choice Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model weak neutral current theoretical virtues discovery
2016/6/15
In the Kuhnian view of theory choice, theories, as a matter of empirical fact, often score differently well with regard to the standard theoretical virtues. The case I discuss in this paper, however, ...
Response to `Local and global definitions of time:Cosmology and quantum theory'
Local global definitions time Cosmology quantum theory
2016/6/15
I will discuss the notion of time and spatial finiteness from the perspective of observational cosmology. Our observed universe is well described at early times by small fluctuations in the spatial gr...
Theory Reduction in Physics:A Model-Based,Dynamical Systems Approach
reduction theory reduction physics dynamical system emergence intertheory relations inter-theory relations Nagel limit
2016/6/15
In 1973, Nickles identified two senses in which the term `reduction' is used to describe the relationship between physical theories: namely, the sense based on Nagel's seminal account of reduction in ...
Time and Quantum Theory:A History and A Prospectus
time quantum Pauli's theorem events Dirac Heisenberg
2016/6/15
In this paper I am concerned with analyzing in detail how ideas and expectations regarding the role of time in quantum theory arose and evolved in the early years of quantum mechanics (from 1925-27). ...
Local and global definitions of time:Cosmology and quantum theory
Cosmology relational time spatial extent time
2016/6/15
I will give a broad overview of what has become the standard paradigm in cosmology. I will describe the relational (\`{a} la Leibnitz) notion of time that is often used in cosmological calculations an...
I offer an account of how the quantum theory we have helps us explain the enormous variety of phenomena it is generally taken to explain. The account depends on what I have elsewhere called a pragmati...
Logic,Geometry And Probability Theory
quantum logic-lattice theory-geometry of quantum mechanics-quantum probability
2016/6/13
We discuss the relationship between logic, geometry and probability theory under the light of a novel approach to quantum probabilities which generalizes the method developed by R. T. Cox to the quant...
Matter or geometry as fundamental in relativity theory:How not to teach special relativity
relativity spacetime ontology constructivism
2016/6/13
In this paper, I review a number of interpretational frameworks for relativistic phenomena like length contraction and relativity of simultaneity. Of central focus is the book Physical Relativity by H...
Protective measurements and the meaning of the wave function in the de Broglie-Bohm theory
wave function de Broglie-Bohm theory protective measurements
2016/6/13
There are three possible interpretations of the wave function in the de Broglie-Bohm theory: taking the wave function as corresponding to a physical entity or a property of the Bohmian particles or a ...
Similarity,Topology,and Physical Significance in Relativity Theory
similarity topology physical significance general relativity models contextualism
2016/6/13
Stephen Hawking, among others, has proposed that the topological stability of a property of spacetime is a necessary condition for it to be physically significant. What counts as stable, however, depe...
The GRW flash theory:a relativistic quantum ontology of matter in space-time?
Bell’s theorem Bohmian mechanics collapse of the wave-function dispositionalism GRW flash GRW mass density Humeanism Lorentz-invariance primitive ontology propensities relativistic collapse theory
2016/6/13
John Bell proposed an ontology for the GRW modification of quantum mechanics in terms of flashes occurring at space-time points. The paper spells out the motivation for this ontology, enquires into th...
Novel Confirmation and the Underdetermination of Scientific Theory Building

2016/6/12
The extra value of novel confirmation over accommodation is explained based on an analysis of the underdetermination of scientific theory building. Novel confirmation can provide information on the nu...
