Philosophy of Physics: Space and Time (Princeton… di Tim Maudlin

A good example of how philosophers talk about and analyze the concepts of space and time advanced by physicists such as Newton and Einstein. Presents an unusually simple basis for special relativity and demonstrates some of the latter's counterintuitive results with spacetime-interval calculations alone. Inexplicably neglects to introduce the standard term "proper time" (whose Wikipedia entry readers might want to look at) for the arc length of worldlines.

Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity di Tim Maudlin

A book, written by a philosopher, about my bete noire. I wasn't wild about it in that, like every other treatment of this subject, it discusses everything based on quantum mechanics circa 1927 with zero acknowledgement of QFT.

But, apart from that limitation, it's pretty good. It sets up the central problem then discusses a variety of issues related to it, for example the obsession some people have with "signaling".
My only real complaint, but of course how could it be otherwise, is that the ultimate problem is not resolved by the end of the book.… (altro)
