Abstract:

Two intertwined issues in special relativity-clock synchronisation and the experimental verification of special relativity-are investigated, and novel results are given in both areas. The validity of the conventionality of distant simultaneity is supported, and the special theory of relativity is recast in a general synchrony "gauge" to reveal the operational significance of synchronisation in measurement and prediction within special relativity. For similar reasons, the Mansouri-Sexl test-theory is extended to allow arbitrary synchrony to be properly taken into account in the verification of

[Truncated abstract] As gravitational wave detectors approach sensitivities that will allow observations to become routine, astrophysics lies on the cusp of an exciting new era. Potential sources will include transients such as merging neutron stars and black holes, supernova explosions or the engines that power gamma-ray bursts. This thesis will be devoted to the astrophysical gravitational wave background signal produced by cosmological populations of such transient signals. Particular attention will be devoted to the observation-time dependence imposed on the individual sources that accumul

Abstract:

In questo lavoro di tesi si affronta il problema riguardo alla convenzionalità della definizione di simultaneità nella teoria della Relatività Ristretta. Il primo capitolo è dedicato all’esposizione della tesi convenzionalista, presentando i postulati sulla velocità della luce e le loro conseguenze fisiche e filosofiche riguardo al concetto di simultaneità. Nel secondo capitolo si descrivono tre diversi esperimenti volti a misurare la velocità della luce in una sola direzione e si analizzano i motivi per cui essi non forniscono una misura accettabile. Nel terzo capitolo si discutono due critic

Abstract:

In this paper, I replicate Erikson and Palfrey (2000) who propose that the simultaneity problem in measuring the effects of candidate spending can be resolved by restricting the sample to close elections. Vote-on-spending effects, which vary with the expected closeness of the election outcome in a systematic way, determine the extent of simultaneity bias. The simultaneity bias becomes progressively more severe as the anticipated vote margin decreases, plaguing the estimates of spending-on-vote effects on the full sample. In the range of a 50-50 expected vote, however, the vote-on-spending effe

Abstract:

This thesis revisits the question of time in the novel. It does so by questioning whether this genre tells us anything new about temporality. In particular, this thesis looks at the novel's capacity to depict different temporal forms such as the representation of simultaneous action and whether such a capacity is constitutive of its "novelness".

These people do not go to church or get involved in any other alternative organized spiritual activities, neither are they actively opposed to religion or entirely indifferent to it. Most of them describe the ways they are – or are not – religious as in line with the majority pa

Abstract:

This thesis argues that we reconsider the philosophical premises which prefigure our encounter with art today. The thematic of ‘simultaneity’ is proposed as one means which might enable this to be achieved. Mapping the notion of simultaneity’s constant presence in art and philosophy associated with Conceptual art after 1960, I look at how this un-examined modality lies at the core of some of our understandings of the subject, its object and the relationship between the two. I also consider how this theme leads us back towards a territory of possibility that re-invigors the claims and concerns

Eighteen pages of prefatory remarks comprise the body of an essay that explores the parameters of truth.

This thesis deals with the dynamics of irreversible processes within the context of the general theory of relativity. In particular, we address the problem of the `infinite' speed of propagation of thermal disturbances in a dissipative fluid. Although this problem is not new, its best known solution - the Israel and Stewart second order expansion - has an effective, rather than fundamental, character. The present work builds on the multi-fluid variational approach to relativistic dissipation, pioneered by Carter, and provides a dynamical theory of heat conduction. The novel property of such ap

We try to geometrize DSR to find the geometric origin of the spacetime and momentum space. In particular, we adopt the framework of Hamilton geometry which is set up on phase

This means that the study of affine vector fields with zeros in 4-dimensional Lorentz manifolds is aided by investigating proper

Abstract:

It is shown that the simultaneity of distant events is taken for granted by some major thinkers, most notably Leibniz and Newton, preceding Einstein. However, in 1905, the STR's examination, and subsequent reconstruction, of this assumption, engendered two types of simultaneity: intra-frame and inter-frame. The former is the focus of this investigation and deals with the simultaneity of distant, yet relatively stationary, events. The latter involves the simultaneity of distant, yet relatively moving, events. Einstein glossed over the former, briefly claiming that distant clocks are synchronize
