Deflating the Spacetime-Matter Dichotomy
Antonio Ferreiro, Alex Fleuren, Niels C. M. Martens
In this paper we analyse scalar-tensor theories-specific instances of which include mainstream inflation and dark energy models-in light of the spacetime-matter dichotomy. We argue…
Key Science Goals for the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope
Michael D. Johnson, Kazunori Akiyama, Lindy Blackburn +42
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has led to the first images of a supermassive black hole, revealing the central compact objects in the elliptical galaxy M87 and the Milky Way. Pr…
The Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration: History, Philosophy, and Culture
Peter Galison, Juliusz Doboszewski, Jamee Elder +22
This white paper outlines the plans of the History Philosophy Culture Working Group of the Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.
Is the Observable Universe Consistent with the Cosmological Principle?
Pavan Kumar Aluri, Paolo Cea, Pravabati Chingangbam +20
The Cosmological Principle (CP) -- the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and homogeneous on large scales -- underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is conven…
Integrating Dark Matter, Modified Gravity, and the Humanities
Niels C. M. Martens, Miguel Ángel Carretero Sahuquillo, Erhard Scholz +2
Editorial of a special issue on dark matter & modified gravity, distributed across the journals Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics and Studies in History and Philo…
Dark Matter Realism
Niels C. M. Martens
According to the standard model of cosmology, LambdaCDM, the mass-energy budget of the current stage of the universe is not dominated by the luminous matter that we are familiar wi…
Cartography of the space of theories: an interpretational chart for fields that are both (dark) matter and spacetime
Niels C. M. Martens, Dennis Lehmkuhl
This paper pushes back against the Democritean-Newtonian tradition of assuming a strict conceptual dichotomy between spacetime and matter. Our approach proceeds via the more narrow…
Dark Matter = Modified Gravity? Scrutinising the spacetime-matter distinction through the modified gravity/ dark matter lens
Niels C. M. Martens, Dennis Lehmkuhl
This paper scrutinises the tenability of a strict conceptual distinction between space(time) and matter via the lens of the debate between modified gravity and dark matter. In part…
