On the detection of absolute velocity in a Newtonian universe
Jorge Manero, Ricardo Muciño, Elias Okon
As a fundamental arena for the development of his dynamics, Newton postulated the existence of absolute space, in which bodies innately possess absolute velocity. Despite this, New…
Topics on Foundations of Physics: From the quantum to the (semi) classical, gravity, thermodynamics, and (or beyond) our possible detections
Ricardo Muciño
The work leading to this thesis focuses on assessing and extending quantum theories in order to explore and test their implications across various regimes -- including thermodynami…
A disputable assumption behind the empirical equivalence between pilot-wave theory and standard quantum mechanics
J. Manero, R. Muciño, E. Okon
The de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave theory asserts that a complete characterization of an -particle system is given by its wave function together with the (at-all-times-defined) posi…
Fully Self-Consistent Semiclassical Gravity
R. Muciño, E. Okon, D. Sudarsky +1
A theory of quantum gravity consists of a gravitational framework which, unlike general relativity, takes into account the quantum character of matter. In spite of impressive advan…
