Epistemological vs. Ontological Relationalism in Quantum Mechanics: Relativism or Realism? [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper we investigate the history of relationalism and its present use in some interpretations of quantum mechanics. In the first part of this article we will provide a conceptual analysis of the relation between substantivalism, relationalism and

Reductionism, Emergence, and Effective Field Theories [PDF]
, 2000 In recent years, a change in attitude in particle physics has led to our understanding current quantum field theories as effective field theories (EFTs).

On the Time Reversal Invariance of Classical Electromagnetic Theory [PDF]
, 2003 David Albert claims that classical electromagnetic theory is not time reversal invariant. He acknowledges that all physics books say that it is, but claims they are "simply wrong" because they rely on an incorrect account of how the time reversal ...

General Covariance and Background Independence in Quantum Gravity [PDF]
, 2012 The history of general relativity suggests that in absence of experimental data, constructing a theory on philosophical first principles can lead to a very useful theory as well as to ground-breaking insights about physical reality.

Hints towards the Emergent Nature of Gravity
, 2018 A possible way out of the conundrum of quantum gravity is the proposal that general relativity (GR) is not a fundamental theory but emerges from an underlying microscopic description.
