Simultaneity, relativity and conventionality
Retrocausation and the Formal Assimilation of Classical Electrodynamics to Newtonian Mechanics
Dirac's classical electrodynamics countenances “preaccelerations” of charged particles at a time t as mathematical functions of external forces applied after the time t. These preaccelerations have been interpreted as evidence for physical retrocausation upon assuming that, in electrodynamics no less than in Newton's second law, external forces sustain an asymmetric causal relation to accelerations. And this retrocausal interpretation has just be…
The geometry of the rotating disk in the special theory of relativity
The conceptual foundations of contemporary relativity theory
Synchronism by Slow Transport of Clocks in Noninertial Frames of Reference
The demonstration that slow transport of clocks can be used to define simultaneity in inertial frames of reference leads to the question of whether clock transport can similarly be used in noninertial frames. It is shown that there are certain types of reference frames in which the clock-transport method cannot be used in a self-consistent manner. It is also shown that there are other types of noninertial frames in which the clock-transport metho…
