How do we judge, objectively, which is the “best” theory? Is there even a unique answer to this question?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe goal of the workshop, and of this book, is to contribute to the development of a meta-theory of spacetime theories. Such a meta-theory would reveal insights about specific spacetime theories by distilling their essential similarities and differences, deliver a framework for a class of theories that could be helpful as a blueprint to build other meta-theories, and provide a higher level viewpoint for judging which theory most accurately describes nature. But rather than drawing a map in broad strokes, the focus is on particularly rich regions in the “space of spacetime theories.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work will be of interest to physicists, as well as philosophers and historians of science working with or interested in General Relativity and\/or Space, Time and Gravitation more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-04-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493979981\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-3210-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 335\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521681682572,"sku":"9781493979981","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493979981.jpg?v=1776451867","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781493979981","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
