The Necessary Structure of the All-pervading Aether: 49 (Philosophische Analyse / Philosophical Analysis) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
In this book I investigate the necessary structure of the aether - the stuff that fills the whole universe. Some of my conclusions are: there is an enormous variety of structures that the aether might, for all we know, have; probably the aether is point-free; in that case, it should be distinguished from Space-time, which is either a fiction or a construct; even if the aether has points, we should reject the orthodoxy that all regions are grounded in points by summation; if the aether is point-free but not continuous, its most likely structure has extended atoms that are not simples; space-time is symmetric if and only if the aether is continuous; if the aether is continuous, we should reject the standard interpretation of General Relativity, in which geometry determines gravity; and contemporary physics undermines an objection to discrete aether based on scale invariance, but does not offer much positive support.
