Relativity and Nonlocality
TL;DR: In this article, the basic physical structure of the relativistic theory of gravitation is discussed and the significant role that the Hypothesis of Locality plays in relativity theory is elucidated via the phenomenon of spin-rotation coupling.

Langevin's `Twin Paradox' paper revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, an in-depth and mathematically-detailed analysis of Langevin's popular 1911 article on the special theory of relativity is presented, and the physical basis of the differential aging effect in the experiment is not ''length contraction'' as in the conventional interpretation, but instead the application of the correct relative velocity transformation formula.

Quantized Detector Networks: The Theory of Observation
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel approach to quantum mechanics extends the standard formalism to cover the observer and their apparatus and demystifies some of the aspects of quantum mechanics that have traditionally been regarded as extraordinary, such as wave-particle duality and quantum superposition, by emphasizing the scientific principles rather than the mathematical modelling involved.

Explaining, Seeing, and Understanding in Thought Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between visualization and explanatory understanding in thought experiments is analyzed, and two thought experiments from special relativity are discussed, both of which lead to a paradox which can be explained away as non-contradictory.
