On Penrose's Analogy between Curved Spacetime Regions and Optical Lenses
Dennis Lehmkuhl, Christian Röken, Juliusz Doboszewski
We present a detailed analysis of Penrose's gravito-optical analogy between the focusing effects of particular families of Ricci- and Weyl-curved spacetime regions on the one hand,…
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…
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…
Introduction to Volume 15 of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. The Berlin Years: Writings and Correspondence June 1925 - May 1927
Diana Kormos Buchwald, József Illy, A. J. Kox +12
This volume covers one of the most thrilling two-year periods in twentieth-century physics, as matrix mechanics - developed chiefly by W. Heisenberg, M. Born, and P. Jordan - and w…
Einstein, the reality of space, and the action-reaction principle
Harvey R. Brown, Dennis Lehmkuhl
Einstein regarded as one of the triumphs of his 1915 theory of gravity --- the general theory of relativity --- that it vindicated the action--reaction principle, while Newtonian m…
