The flow of time in the theory of relativity
Mario Bacelar Valente
Dennis Dieks advanced the view that the idea of flow of time is implemented in the theory of relativity. The 'flow' results from the successive happening/becoming of events along t…
Einstein's physical geometry at play: inertial motion, the boostability assumption, the Lorentz transformations, and the so-called conventionality of the one-way speed of light
Mario Bacelar Valente
In this work, Einstein's view of geometry as physical geometry is taken into account in the analysis of diverse issues related to the notions of inertial motion and inertial refere…
The relativity of simultaneity and presentism
Mario Bacelar Valente
According to conventional wisdom, presentism is at odds with the theory of relativity. This is supposed to be shown quite simply just by considering the relativity of simultaneity.…
Time in the theory of relativity: on natural clocks, proper time, the clock hypothesis, and all that
Mario Bacelar Valente
When addressing the notion of proper time in the theory of relativity, it is usually taken for granted that the time read by an accelerated clock is given by the Minkowski proper t…
