Relative thinking theory [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Journal of Socio-Economics, 2005
Abstract The article presents a theory that I denote “Relative Thinking Theory,” which claims that people consider relative differences and not only absolute differences when making various economics decisions, even in those cases where the rational model dictates that people should consider only absolute differences. The article reviews experimental

Relativity and Quantum Theory

Nature, 1938
IT is well known that the transformation theory of quantum mechanics corresponds to the property of the classical equations of motion of being invariant with respect to contact transformations. These are simultaneous transformations of co-ordinates xk (including time) and momenta pk (including energy), such that the difference of pkdxk in the old and ...

The theory of relativity, the electromagnetic theory and the quantum theory

Il Nuovo Cimento, 1958
It is shown how it is possible, by means of geometry and the introduction of a principle of measurement, founded by analogy with the theory of H. Weyl, to discover a unity existing between gravitational, electromagnetic and quantum phenomena. Dirac’s equation and an extension of it are derived from the principle of measurement, and an essential feature

Relative E ‐Theory

K-Theory, 1999
In 1990, Connes and Higson introduced the notion of asymptotic morphism of \(C^*\)-algebras. They showed that the bifunctor \(E(-,-)\), given on a pair \((A,B)\) of \(C^*\)-algebras by \[ E(A,B): =[[SA\otimes {\mathcal K},SB \otimes {\mathcal K}]], \] the group of homotopy classes of asymptotic morphisms between the stabilized suspensions of \(A\) and \

Spinor Theory and Relativity. II

American Journal of Physics, 1955
The various kinds of second-rank spinors are defined; geometric representations are given for two special cases; and the applications of spinor theory to relativistic quantum mechanics and to electromagnetic theory are studied.

Special Theory of Relativity

Nature, 1962
Two years ago I pointed out1 what appears to be an inconsistency in the kinematical part of Einstein's special theory of relativity. I repeated this in a slightly different form in a volume published in December last2. No comment has been made on the former publication, either spontaneously or in response to individual requests, and in none of the many

Relativity And the a-Theory

2021
The special theory of relativity (STR) is widely supposed to be in tension with theories of time which gives a special significance to the present moment. This chapter considers A-theoretic responses which accept STR, so far as it goes, but take it to be incomplete with respect to tensed facts.
