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…
Abnormal light propagation and the underdetermination of theory by evidence in astrophysics
Felipe A. Asenjo, Sergio A. Hojman, Niels Linnemann +1
We investigate the propagation of certain non-plane wave solutions to Maxwell's equations in both flat and curved spacetimes. We find that such solutions (or rather parts of them)…
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…
Clarifying possible misconceptions in the foundations of general relativity
Harvey R. Brown, James Read
We discuss what we take to be three possible misconceptions in the foundations of general relativity, relating to: (a) the interpretation of the weak equivalence principle and the…
