- Drawing the line between kinematics and dynamics in special relativity (2009, background): “The challenge of (Brown, 2005) and (Brown and Pooley, 2006) for my position then is twofold.”
- Explanation, understanding, and control (2014, unknown): “…example, one can provide both a geometrical as well as a dynamical explanation of length contraction and time dilation in Special Relativity (Balashov and Janssen 2003; Brown and Pooley 2006; Brown 2005), and despite having identical consequences these explanations each appear uniquely informative.”
