The Foundations of Spacetime Physics

This book provides an in-depth exploration of spacetime physics, addressing foundational questions and offering diverse perspectives. The Foundations of Spacetime Physics is essential for scholars and students alike.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the foundational aspects of spacetime physics, featuring contributions from leading experts in both the physics and philosophy of spacetime. Each essay presents unique insights and perspectives, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in these complex topics.

As foundational questions regarding the origin and nature of spacetime evolve, this volume addresses new and exciting directions that extend beyond traditional quantum gravity discussions. These inquiries also emerge within well-established theories such as general relativity, highlighting the dynamic nature of spacetime studies.

The book is organized into two main parts. The first part delves into the nature of spacetime in non-quantum theories, including Newtonian mechanics and relativity. The second part investigates the intriguing conceptual implications of developing a quantum theory of spacetime. The Foundations of Spacetime Physics serves as an essential resource for scholars and advanced students engaged in the philosophy of physics, philosophy of science, and scientific metaphysics.
