An Epistemology of Causal Inference from Experiment
causation experiment Gasparo Berti water barometer vacuum
2016/5/31
The manipulationist account of causation provides a conceptual analysis of cause-effect relationships in terms of hypothetical experiments. It also explains why and how experiments are used for the em...
Experiment and Theory Building

2016/5/31
I examine the role of inference from experiment in theory building. What are the options open to the scientific community when faced with an experimental result that appears to be in conflict with acc...
At the age of sixteen, Einstein imagined chasing after a beam of light. He later recalled that the thought experiment had played a memorable role in his development of special relativity. Famous as it...

The Quantum Liar Experiment in Cramer's Transactional Interpretation
transactional interpretation quantum paradoxes entanglement time symmetry
2009/9/16
Cramer's Transactional Interpretation (TI) is applied to the ``Quantum Liar Experiment'' (QLE). It is shown how some apparently paradoxical features can be explained naturally, albeit nonlocally (sinc...

Einstein relativity Michelson-Morley experiment
2009/9/8
This article discusses new material, published in Volume 12 of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, that addresses Einstein’s knowledge of the Michelson-Morley experiment prior to 1905: in a lectu...

Inquiry, Evidence, and Experiment: The Experimenter's Regress'' Dissolved
evidence inquiry experiment experimenter's regress robustness discordance Dewey
2011/9/7
Contemporary ways of understanding of science, especially in the philosophy of science, are beset by overly abstract and formal models of evidence. In such models, the only interesting feature of evid...
The causal story of the double slit experiment in quantum real numbers.
Quantum reality ontological vs epistemological conditions of quantum particles
2008/4/21
A causal story of the double slit experiment for a massive scalar particle is told using quantum real numbers as the numerical values of the position and momentum of the particle. The quantum real num...
The double-slit experiment: A paradox-free kinematic description
double-slit experiment EPR experiment measurement problem
2008/4/21
The paradoxes of the double-slit experiment with an electron are shown to originate in the implicit assumption that the electron is always located in the classical space. It is demonstrated that there...
The EPR experiment: A paradox-free definition of reality
EPR experiment measurement problem
2008/4/21
The paradoxes of the EPR experiment with two particles are shown to originate in the implicit assumption that the particles are always located in the classical space. There exists a substitute for thi...
The Merli-Missiroli-Pozzi Two-Slit Electron Interference Experiment
Single electron experiment Electron interference Propensities
2008/4/21
In 2002 the readers of the scientific magazine 'Physics World' voted Young's double-slit experiment applied to the interference of single electrons to be 'the most beautiful experiment in physics'; th...
The Roles of One Thought Experiment in Interpreting Quantum Mechanics. Werner Heisenberg meets Thomas Kuhn.
Heisenberg gamma ray microscope quantum mechanics
2008/4/21
Recent years saw the rise of an interest in the roles and significance of thought experiments in different areas of human thinking. Heisenberg's gamma ray microscope is no doubt one of the most famous...
What is an experimental error? Hertz’s cathode ray experiment reconsidered
experimental error evidence Deborah Mayo
2008/4/18
As many philosophers of science have pointed out, the reliability of the phenomena we test our theories against is pivotal (Bogen and Woodward, Galison, Mayo, Franklin). If our experimental evidence i...
Michelson-Morley Experiment and The Second Postulate of STR
Michelson-Morley ether Lorentz Contraction
2008/4/15
This note discusses the fact that the Second Postulate in the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) is an absolute statement which implicitly acknowledges, despite the claim in [3] to the contrary, the e...
