The collected papers of Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein,John Stachel,Martin J. Klein,Anne J. Kox,Robert Schulmann,Diana Kormos Buchwald,Michel Janssen,Daniel Kennefick,David E. Rowe,Rudy Hirschmann +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a list of illustrative and textual features of the 14 volumes of the series, including: list of text, list of illustration and list of location symbols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presentism and relativity
Yuri Balashov,Michel Janssen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue against William Craig's recent attempt to reconcile presentism (roughly, the view that only the present is real) with relativity theory, arguing that his reconstruction of Lorentz's theory and its historical development is fatally flawed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drawing the line between kinematics and dynamics in special relativity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defend the traditional view that special relativity is preferable to those parts of Lorentz's classical ether theory it replaced because it revealed various phenomena that were given a dynamical explanation to be purely kinematical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconsidering a scientific revolution: The case of Einstein versus Lorentz
TL;DR: In particular, the relativistic interpretation of Lorentz invariance is preferable to the original interpretation as discussed by the authors, which assumes that the laws governing the matter interacting with the electromagnetic fields in the ether are invariant as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
COI Stories: Explanation and Evidence in the History of Science
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take as its point of departure two striking incongruities between scientific practice and trends in modern history and philosophy of science, and draw attention to one specific way in which explanatory power is routinely used as evidence for scientific claims.
