SYMMETRIES AND INVARIANCES IN CLASSICAL PHYSICS [PDF]
This Chapter discusses the role of symmetry in classical physics. We begin, in Section 2, with the distinction between symmetries of objects and of laws, and that between symmetry principles and symmetry arguments, including a discussion of Curie’s principle.

Student perspectives in quantum physics [PDF]
Introductory courses in classical physics are promoting in students a realist perspective, made up in part by the belief that all physical properties of a system can be simultaneously specified, and thus determined at all future times. Such a perspective

Causality in classical physics [PDF]
Classical physics encompasses the study of physical phenomena which ranges from local (a point) to nonlocal (a region) in space and/or time. We discuss the concept of spatial and temporal nonlocality. However, one of the likely implications pertaining to nonlocality is non-causality. We study causality in the context of phenomena involving nonlocality.

Some trends in the philosophy of physics [PDF]
A short review of some recent developments in the philosophy of physics is presented. I focus on themes which illustrate relations and points of common interest between philosophy of physics and three of its 'neighboring' fields: Physics, metaphysics and

The paper makes a case for there being causation in the form of causal properties or causal structures in the domain of fundamental physics. That case is built in the first place on an interpretation of quantum theory in terms of state reductions so that

Classical Physics and Quantum Loops [PDF]
The standard picture of the loop expansion associates a factor of h-bar with each loop, suggesting that the tree diagrams are to be associated with classical physics, while loop effects are quantum mechanical in nature. We discuss examples wherein classical effects arise from loop contributions and display the relationship between the classical terms ...

Interpretation in quantum physics as hidden curriculum
Prior research has demonstrated how the realist perspectives of classical physics students can translate into specific beliefs about quantum phenomena when taking an introductory modern physics course.
