1 ;;Quote: the object of all science is to coordinate our experiences and to bring them into a logical system
|
2 ;;Quote: regard as real those sense perceptions which are common to different individuals and hence impersonal; e.g., rigid bodies
|
2+;;Quote: a clock is a body or system that counts a series of events which can be regarded as equal
|
2 ;;Quote: concepts represent the complex of our experiences; no other justification
|
2+;;Quote: physicists have changed the concepts of time and space to fit experience; were a priori
|
3 ;;Quote: space is relative to a body; it is all possible continuations of a body by adjacent bodies
|
30 ;;Quote: physical reality consists of space-time events; no rational division into a 3-d space and a time continuum; laws of nature must correspond
|
38 ;;Quote: events outside of the light cone from event P have a time-like relation to P; those inside have a space-like relation
|
46 ;;Quote: E= m c^2, i.e., mass and energy are essentially alike
|
46+;;Quote: the kinetic energy of an object in classical mechanics is the second term of the equation relating energy to mass and velocity
|
57 ;;Quote: coordinate systems for inertial systems and uniformly accelerated systems or gravitational systems are physically equivalent; makes general relativity much better than classical mechanics
|
61 ;;Quote: the gravitational field determines the metrical laws of the space-time continuum; only infinitesimal regions are non-gravitational with Euclidean geometry
|
61 ;;Quote: laws of nature should be valid in any 4-d system of coordinates that preserves neighboring events; like Gauss's theory of surfaces
|
129 ;;Quote: the big bang is the beginning of the world but field equations and field variables have no real significance; avoids question of singularities
|
165 ;;Quote: reality should have a purely algebraic theory since quantum phenomena are completely described by a finite set of numbers; not a continuous field
