Publisher Summary This chapter discusses how empirical facts function restrictively to support a unique metric geometry as the true description of physical space. The chapter focuses on the respective roles of conventions and facts in the ascription of a particular metric geometry to physical space on the basis of measurements with a rigid body ...
