The Virtues of Pursuit-Worthy Speculation: The Promises of Cosmic Inflation
William J. Wolf, Patrick M. Duerr
The paper investigates the historical and contemporary pursuit-worthiness of cosmic inflation-the rationale for working on it (rather than necessarily the evidential support for cl…
On the geometric trinity of gravity, non-relativistic limits, and Maxwell gravitation
Eleanor March, William J. Wolf, James Read
We show that the dynamical common core of the recently-discovered non-relativistic geometric trinity of gravity is Maxwell gravitation. Moreover, we explain why no analogous distin…
The Non-Relativistic Geometric Trinity of Gravity
William J. Wolf, James Read, Quentin Vigneron
The geometric trinity of gravity comprises three distinct formulations of general relativity: (i) the standard formulation describing gravity in terms of spacetime curvature, (ii)…
Underdetermination in Classic and Modern Tests of General Relativity
William J. Wolf, Marco Sanchioni, James Read
Canonically, `classic' tests of general relativity (GR) include perihelion precession, the bending of light around stars, and gravitational redshift; `modern' tests have to do with…
Methodological Reflections on the MOND/Dark Matter Debate
Patrick M. Duerr, William J. Wolf
The paper re-examines the principal methodological questions, arising in the debate over the cosmological standard model's postulate of Dark Matter vs. rivalling proposals that mod…
Respecting Boundaries: Theoretical Equivalence and Structure Beyond Dynamics
William J. Wolf, James Read
A standard line in the contemporary philosophical literature has it that physical theories are equivalent only when they agree on their empirical content, where this empirical cont…
