Scale Invariance, Variety and Central Configurations
Maria I. R. Lourenço, Julian Barbour, Francisco S. N. Lobo
Scale invariance has received very little attention in physics. Nevertheless, it provides a natural conceptual foundation for a relational understanding of the universe, where abso…
Complexity and Its Creation
Julian Barbour, Zaza Doborjginidze, Tim Koslowski +1
Except for crystalline or random structures, an agreed definition of complexity for intermediate and hence interesting cases does not exist. We fill this gap with a notion of compl…
Mach's Principle: A Response to Mashhoon and Wesson's Paper arXiv: 1106.6036
Julian Barbour
In their recent "Mach's principle and higher-dimensional dynamics", Mashhoon and Wesson argue that Mach's principle is not properly incorporated into general relativity and that in…
The physical gravitational degrees of freedom
Edward Anderson, Julian Barbour, Brendan Z. Foster +2
When constructing general relativity (GR), Einstein required 4D general covariance. In contrast, we derive GR (in the compact, without boundary case) as a theory of evolving 3-dime…
