Thesis
On certain a priori claims in the foundations of spacetime theories
- Abstract:
-
I critique three a priori claims present in the literature on the foundations of spacetime theories:---
1. Spacetime structure has is chronogeometric significance necessarily.
2. The only candidates for representing physical quantities are objects which can be specified in a coordinate-independent manner.
3. Symmetry- and duality-related models of physical theories may be regarded ab initio as being physically equivalent.
