Journal ArticleDOI
A better best system account of lawhood
TL;DR: The authors argue that an acceptable MRL should avoid inter-system comparisons of simplicity, strength, and balance, make lawhood epistemically accessible, and allow for laws in the special sciences.
Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scale
Craig Callender,Nick Huggett +1 more
TL;DR: Callender and Huggett as discussed by the authors discuss the question of why there should be a theory of quantum gravity and tackle arguments that purport to show that the gravitational field *must* be quantized.
Book
What Makes Time Special
TL;DR: The difference between time and space has not been treated kindly by recent history as mentioned in this paper, which is unfortunate, for even in relativistic theories there remain sharp and important metrical and topological distinctions between the timelike and spacelike directions of spacetime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taking Thermodynamics Too Seriously
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the mistake of understanding the laws and concepts of thermodynamics too literally in the foundations of statistical mechanics and explore its consequences in three cases: explaining the Second Law, understanding equilibrium and defining phase transitions.
