   I have an article about how GR is  indeterministic, technically speaking,   that it's not a deterministic theory. And in it,  I had to outline, well, what the heck is general   relativity? So, firstly, I know you read that  article, and I want to know what you think about   if GR is technically speaking indeterministic.  And then also, what is the definition of GR? Yeah, yeah. It's a great question. I did check  out that article. I mean, I think it gets to the   heart of the issue, which is, well, we don't have  just one GR.…

   (In particular the Sun’s course along the ecliptic is responsible for many sublunar changes, the cycle of the seasons being foremost among them.) Whether these circular motions require external movers, and ultimately, whether the universe is causally closed or needs some external causal influence for its preservation, depends on the status of these revolutions. In this regard the very first thing to establish is that they cannot be constrained motions. [ 45 ] But natural motions are also in need of movers, as Physics 8.4 argues. This does not apply only to the natural motions of living beings,…

   Robertson’s conclusion exhibits this point clearly and explicitly: We have examined, from the operational standpoint, the problem of determining the most general kinematical background suitable for an idealized universe in which the cosmological principle holds. Allowing the fundamental observers the use only of clocks and theodolites, and granting them the possibility of sending and receiving we have shown that for each given mode of motion x(t) there necessarily exists a quadratic line element which is invariant, in form as well as in fact, under transformation from one fundamental observer …

   > Okay. So you can say, do you know an example for that? No force. And you would say, well, at least where we live on earth, the first axiom is out of work, right? It's unemployed because there's always the gravitational force. It's just there. It's just there. So what do you mean a particle under no, under the influence of no force? If you ever say no gravity, also Newtonian theory is the curvature of Newtonian spacetime, then it would mean,

   Porro, ut corpora universa gravitent in terram, ita terra vicissim in corpora eequaliter gravitat ; gravitatis enim actionem esse mutuam & utrinque sequalem sic ostenditur. Distinguatur terrae totius moles in binas quascunque partes, vel sequales vel utcunque insequales : jam si pondera partium non essent in se mutuo sequalia; cederet pondus minus majori, & partes conjunctae pergerent recta moveri ad infinitum, versus plagam in quam tendit pondus majus: omnino contra experientiam. Itaque dicendum erit pondera partium in sequilibrio esse constituta : hoc est, gravitatis actionem esse mutuam & u…

   Be that as it may, World 2 is a world with a single, small miracle at 8.05, with perfect match of particular fact thereafter, which is just as close to the actual world as is World 1, where there is a small miracle before Gretta cracks the egg. So, Elga argues, there is no asymmetry of counterfactual dependence, as Lewis defines it. Lewis’s account of the asymmetry of counterfactual dependence has faced a barrage of additiional criticisms (e.g. Contessa 2006, Tomkow & Vihvelin 2017 [Other Internet Resources], Fernandes 2022) and rival views have been developed, which normally appeal to statist…

   If you can slow them down or almost like put the brakes on, they will then migrate inwards and that could be the beginning of a process of transferring those comets from the disc outside of Neptune into um into uh the inner solar system. So once they're whatever whatever the process is that that causes that, that's what I'm calling activation. So now once they become start their sunward journey they sort of they come alive uh they start outgassing they start devolatilizing and then eventually they're going to disintegrate as we've just seen and then I call amalgamation is where um they are act…

   This implies that even though we may answer the question as to why the elements move to their natural places—the light bodies up and the heavy ones down—by an appeal to their respective natures as causes (“that it is simply their nature to move somewhere, [ 43 ] and this is what it is to be light and to be heavy,” Physics 8.4, 255b13–17), we do not thereby specify their moving causes. Their thrust being in a single direction, the elements cannot circumvent even rather simple obstacles they may encounter on their way (a sealed container can retain air under water, the roof stays put pressing do…

    And uh one of the amazing things that I argue in this article that I've just finished, I I I claim at least that it was regarded as a theorem in Platonist days that the corporeal world, which thus represents the lowest of the three strata, is itself tripartite. In other words, the tripartite uh division of the cosmos in its integrality is repeated on the on the corporeal level itself. And guess what? The tripartite uh division uh which we associate with the Ptolemaic uh division into the sidereal world, the world of the stars, the Earth at the center. Platonism is incurably geocentric. And the…
