Wigner's Frame
Emily Adlam
This article suggests that thinking about the role of reference frames can provide new insight into Extended Wigner's Friend scenarios. This involves appealing to symmetries to mak…
Relational Observables, Quiddities, and Structural Realism
Emily Adlam
In this article, I argue that modern spacetime physics causes problems for a number of traditional accounts of modality, but also offers important new ideas about the connection be…
Moderate Physical Perspectivalism
Emily Adlam
Recent developments in foundations of physics have given rise to a class of views suggesting that physically meaningful descriptions must always be relativized to a physical perspe…
How do we Observe Relational Observables?
Emily Adlam
In theories with a diffeomorphism symmetry, such as general relativity and canonical quantum gravity, it is often proposed that the empirical content is encoded in relational obser…
Against Self-Location
Emily Adlam
I distinguish between pure self-locating credences and superficially self-locating credences, and argue that there is never any rationally compelling way to assign pure self-locati…
Disappearing Without a Trace: The Arrows of Time in Kent's Solution to the Lorentzian Quantum Reality Problem
Emily Adlam
Most existing proposals to explain the temporal asymmetries we see around us are sited within an approach to physics based on time evolution, and thus they typically put the asymme…
Are Entropy Bounds Epistemic?
Emily Adlam
Entropy bounds have played an important role in the development of holography as an approach to quantum gravity, so in this article we seek to gain a better understanding of the co…
Information is Physical: Cross-Perspective Links in Relational Quantum Mechanics
Emily Adlam, Carlo Rovelli
Relational quantum mechanics (RQM) is an interpretation of quantum mechanics based on the idea that quantum states describe not an absolute property of a system but rather a relati…
The Problem of Confirmation in the Everett Interpretation
Emily Adlam
I argue that the Oxford school Everett interpretation is internally incoherent, because we cannot claim that in an Everettian universe the kinds of reasoning we have used to arrive…
Poincare and Special Relativity
Emily Adlam
Henri Poincare's work on mathematical features of the Lorentz transformations was an important precursor to the development of special relativity. In this paper I compare the appro…
