Does DESI Provide Evidence for Dynamical Dark Energy?
Nicola Bamonti
Recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) have been announced as evidence that dark energy is dynamical. We distinguish three claims the headline announce…
Reference Frames and the Ontology of General Relativity. Re(l)ality: The View From Nowhere vs. The View From Everywhere
Nicola Bamonti
In General Relativity, the genuine observable quantities are gauge-invariant Dirac observables. One well-known method of constructing them is relational, using reference frames. Th…
What is a reference frame in General Relativity?
Nicola Bamonti
This work introduces a novel three-fold classification of reference frames in General Relativity, distinguishing between Idealised Reference Frames (IRFs), Dynamical Reference Fram…
Apples Falling, Buckets Rolling, and Why Inertia Keeps Trolling: Inertial Motion is Not Natural Motion
Nicola Bamonti
Inertia has long been treated as the paradigm of natural motion. This paper challenges this identification through the lens of General Relativity. Drawing on Norton (2012)'s distin…
In Search of Cosmic Time: Complete Observables and the Clock Hypothesis
Nicola Bamonti, Karim P. Y. Thébault
This paper considers a new and deeply challenging face of the problem of time in the context of cosmology drawing on the work of Thiemann (2006, 2007). Thiemann argues for a radica…
The Hole Argument for Reference Frames
Nicola Bamonti, Henrique Gomes
We exploit the results of Bamonti and Gomes (2024) concerning the dynamical (un)coupling of reference frames to gravity to analyse the role of reference frames in the Hole Argument…
