Space
Space conceived as passive must be Euclidean - this space has a methodological role in science; misunderstandings concerning the relativity principle - as analytic a priori vs as outcome of idealisation
Inertia
Distinguishing Mach's principle from his hypotheses; the neglected role of environmental circumstances in causation
Gravity
On the Hypothesis that gravity is a necessary consequence of the relativity of inertia; connection to the quantum zitterbewegung of elementary particles; implications for cosmology
- J Fay and D Braun: On Reissner’s hypothesis: A review of 20th Century relational models for the unification of gravity and inertia (Forthcoming) [preprint]
- Translation of: H. Reissner: On the possibility of deriving gravity as the direct consequence of the relativity of inertia (1915) [imperfect translation]
- Youtube videos on this topic:
Matter
Energy conservation as methodological; mass-energy unification - matter as activity; matter's emergent conformity to law
- Special relativity – what kind of relativity principle is operating here? Why are the laws of physics Lorentz-covariant, can this be explained?
