The curvature argument.
Dasgupta (2015) has recently put forward a novel argument, which he calls the 'curvature argument', that aims to show that Galilean spacetime is not an ideal setting for our classical theory of motion. This paper examines the curvature argument and argues that it is not sound. The discussion yields...

This paper examines the curvature argument and argues that it is not sound. The discussion yields a remark about the conditions under which a 'symmetry argument' demonstrates that a particular spacetime is a non-ideal setting for our theory of motion. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2021 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
