Gravitational Singularities
DOI: 10.58679/IA52944 Gravitational singularities in general relativity are spacetime locations where the gravitational field becomes infinite. Scalar invariant curves of spacetime include a measure of matter density. Some physicists and philosophers believe that because the density of matter tends to … Citeşte mai mult
Paradoxes of causal loops in spacetime
There is, among some scientists and philosophers, the idea that any theory that would allow the time travel would introduce causal issues. These types of temporal paradoxes can be avoided by the Novikov self-consistency principle or by a variation in … Citeşte mai mult
The Ontology of General Relativity
General Relativity generated various early philosophical interpretations. His adherents have highlighted the „relativization of inertia” and the concept of simultaneity, Kantians and Neo-Kantians have underlined the approach of certain synthetic „intellectual forms” (especially the principle of general covariance, and logical … Citeşte mai mult
Space, time, and time travel
Newton supported the idea of absolute time, unlike Leibniz, for which time is only a relation between events and cannot be expressed independently, a statement in concordance with the relativity of space-time. Eternalism claims that the past and the future … Citeşte mai mult
Classical theory of singularities
The singularities from the general relativity resulting by solving Einstein’s equations were and still are the subject of many scientific debates: Are there singularities in spacetime, or not? Big Bang was an initial singularity? If singularities exist, what is their … Citeşte mai mult
