No Nothing from Infinity Paradox: A Detailed Analysis
Shackel recently defended a revised formulation of what he calls ‘the nothing from infinity paradox’. In contrast to other well-known and unchallenged examples of ‘nothing from infinity’ in the literature, it will be argued here that the model he proposes (which would be far more surprising than the others if correct) fails to work as such. Quite the contrary, it is argued here that the form of dynamic evolution underlying it is actually rather t…
Undeformable Bodies that are Not Rigid Bodies: A Philosophical Journey Through Some (Unexpected) Supertasks
Some surprising instabilities in idealized dynamical systems
Rigidity, instability and dimensionality
A simple and interesting classical mechanical supertask
What the Tortoise Said to Achilles
Zeno and flow of information
On Norton’s dome
The New String Paradox
I shall begin by discussing Benardete’s string paradox. Then, a new puzzle involving supertasks and causality (the new string paradox) is proposed and discussed. Finally, the new string paradox facilitates the discovery of a surprising example of irreversible mechanical process
Energy conservation and supertasks
Supertasks, dynamical attractors and indeterminism
Avoiding Infinite Masses
A Look at the Staccato Run
An Interesting Fallacy Concerning Dynamical Supertasks
Recently, Alper, Bridger, Earman and Norton have all proposed examples of dynamic systems that, in their view, are incompatible with classical (Newtonian) mechanics. In the first section of the present paper I shall show that their arguments are all undermined by the same fallacy. The second section proves that their conclusions of incompatibility are indeed false, and that what we are really looking at are new forms of indeterminist evolution of…
On a (Supposedly) Plausible Extension of Newtonian Collision Dynamics
In a recent volume of this journal, L. Angel ([2002]) proposed a collision mechanics leading to such strange results as the possibility that a particle may be in several places at the same time, or the existence of unprepared spatially-separated correlations. I will here show that neither of these results follows from his theory or, if it does, the theory, contrary to what Angel claims, is not a plausible extension of Newtonian collision dynamics…
Taking Self‐Excitations Seriously: On Angel's Initial Condition
In a recent article, L. Angel ([2001]) argues that if we do not implement Newtonian physics adding to it a certain usual type of boundary condition, then this leads to the rejection of what he calls the P principle: ‘the composition of contact interactions does not create a noncontact interaction.’ Here I shall demonstrate that this conclusion does not follow. However, as will be made clear, this in no way diminishes the interest or importance of…
On The Dynamics Of Alper And Bridger
Two Ways Of Looking At A Newtonian Supertask
Why Dynamical Self-Excitation Is Possible
Infinity Machines and Creation Ex Nihilo
Some Relativistic and Higher Order Supertasks
The first aim of this paper is to introduce a new way of looking at supertasks in the light of special relativity which makes use of the elementary dynamics of relativistic point particles subjected to elastic binary collisions and constrained to move unidimensionally. In addition, this will enable us to draw new physical consequences from the possibility of supertasks whose ordinal type is higher than the usual ω or ω* considered so far in the l…
Classical Particle Dynamics, Indeterminism and a Supertask
In this paper a model in particle dynamics of a well-known supertask is constructed. As a consequence, a new and simple result about the failure of determinism of classical particle dynamics can be proved which is related to the non-existence of boundary conditions at spatial infinity. This result is much more accessible to the non-technical reader than similar ones in the scientific literature.
