On Relativity Theory and Openness of the Future

Philosophy of Science, 1991
It has been repeatedly argued, most recently by Nicholas Maxwell, that the special theory of relativity is incompatible with the view that the future is in some degree undetermined; and Maxwell contends that this is a reason to reject that theory. In the present paper, an analysis is offered of the notion of indeterminateness (or “becoming”) that is ...

TUITION AND THE OPEN‐DOOR: A RELATIVE PERSPECTIVE

Community Junior College Research Quarterly of Research and Practice, 1982
This research was initiated to explore the effects of changing tuition rates on the open‐door policy of U.S. community junior colleges. Tuition trends in the two‐year colleges of 50 states were assessed using data gathered from the 1975 and 1980 editions of the AACJC Directory, 1980 Fact Book for Academic Administrators, and recently published journal ...

The bounded-open topology and its relatives

1995
In questo articolo viene esaminata la topologia aperta-limitata di Buchwalter sull'insieme di tutte le funzioni continue a valori reali sopra uno spazio di Tychonoff in condizioni generali. La topologia menzionata viene inoltre confrontata con numerevoli topologie più о meno note.

General Relativity as an Open Theory

1970
The question of the openness, or comprehensiveness, of a theory is very much related, though not identical with, certain questions that became apparent very early in the development of modern physics. It is, I believe, only an apocryphal story that when Newton first proposed his theory of gravitation and the attraction of the earth on the moon, there ...

Relative labor demand in an open economy

International Advances in Economic Research, 2004
This paper contributes to the discussion concerning the nature of the well-documented worsening of wage and employment inequality in western economies during the past three decades. It critically discusses the use of the traditional Heckscher and Ohlin approach to analyze the distributional effects of international competition. The paper also discusses

Special Relativity as an Open Question

2007
There seems to me to be a way of reading some of the trouble we have lately been having with the quantum-mechanical measurement problem (not the standard way, mind you, and certainly not the only way; but a way that nonethe-less be worth exploring) that suggests that there are fairly prosaic physical circumstances under which it might not be entirely ...

Relative ordering criteria in open systems

Physics-Uspekhi, 1996
Main concepts of a new interdisciplinary research area known as 'Physics of Open Systems' are introduced with special reference to a criterion for the relative degree of order in nonequilibrium states of such systems. Based on this criterion, the notion of the 'norm of chaos' ('norm of order') is proposed and used to differentiate between degradation ...

Discussion: On Relativity Theory and Openness of the Future

Philosophy of Science, 1993
In a recent paper Stein (1991) makes a number of criticisms of an earlier paper of mine (Maxwell 1985) that explored the question of whether the idea that the future is genuinely “open” in a probabilistic universe is compatible with special relativity. I disagree with almost all of Stein's criticisms.

A criterion of relative degree of chaos or order for open systems

Biosystems, 1997
The main concepts of the new interdisciplinary branch of science known as 'physics of open systems' are discussed and a possible criterion of relative degree of order in nonequilibrium states of open systems is especially considered. On that basis the concept of 'norms of chaos' (or 'norms of order') is set forth and the definition of processes of ...
