The Epistemology of Contemporary Physics: Classical Mechanics I [PDF]
arXivIn this paper of "The Epistemology of Contemporary Physics" series we investigate the epistemological significance and sensibility (and hence interpretability and interpretation) of classical mechanics in its Newtonian and non-Newtonian formulations. As we will see, none of these formulations provide a clear and consistent framework for understanding ...

In contrast, history investigates past events by considering physical evidence, documentary evidence, and eyewitness testimony.

The Epistemology of Contemporary Physics: Introduction [PDF]
arXivThis is the first of a series of papers that we intend to publish about the epistemology of fundamental physics in its current state. One of the main objectives of these papers is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics (and modern physics in particular) from an epistemological and interpretative perspective (i.e. versus formal perspective).
