ISBN-13: 9780444532756

The 16 papers accrued during this quantity are increased and revised models of talks added on the moment foreign convention at the Ontology of Spacetime, geared up by way of the overseas Society for the complex learn of Spacetime (John Earman, President) at Concordia collage (Montreal) from nine to eleven June 2006.

Most chapters are dedicated to matters without delay in relation to the ontology of spacetime.

The e-book starts off with 4 papers that debate the ontological prestige of spacetime and the tactics taking place in it from some degree of view that's to begin with conceptual and philosophical. the point of interest then just a little shifts within the 5 papers that stick to, to issues extra without delay concerning technical concerns from relativity concept. After this, Time, turning into and alter take centre degree within the subsequent 5 papers. The booklet ends with tours into particularly uncharted territory: a attention of the prestige of Kaluza-Klein thought, and an research of attainable family among the character of spacetime and condensed topic physics, respectively.

  • Space and time in present-day physics and philosophy
  • Relatively low point of technicality, simply accessible
