- Models of Wave-function Collapse, Underlying Theories, and Experimental Tests (2012, background): “An argument due to Einstein, known as the Einstein hole argument (Christian, 1998) then implies that if the metric is subject to quantum fluctuations, there is no longer available an underlying classical spacetime manifold.”
- Points, particles, and structural realism (2005, background): “While French (French, 1989; French and Redhead, 1988) may have clearly demonstrated that the individuals interpretation of QM particles exists in logical space, it is not really a serious contender.12 11The positions have been labelled straightforward and sophisticated substantivalism by Belot and E”
- Is quantum gravity necessary? (2008, background): “For instance, there are inherent non-quantum limits to gravitational measurements [12,13], whose implications for an Eppley-Hannah-type argument have yet to be fully explored.”
- Meaning of the wave function (2010, background): “2 Note that the wave function in de Broglie-Bohm theory is also regarded as nomological, e.g. a component of physical law rather than of the reality described by the law (Dürr, Goldstein and Zanghì 1997; Goldstein and Teufel 2001).”
- Approaches To Quantum Gravity (2009, background): “General Relativity The conceptual difficulties in GR which are relevant for quantum gravity are mainly two: a) Notion of spacetime points Are spacetime points real physical quantities or are they purely mathematical constructs induced by the utilisation of set-theoretic ideas in GR2? Given Einstein’”
- Problem of time in quantum gravity (2010, background): “[96] for relative motion of variables to be a democratic issue in the sense that any A can serve as a timestandard for any B, rather than there being some privileged subset of reliable timestandards.”
- Quantum gravity: a progress report (2001, background): “Readers may also want to look at the new collection Physics meets philosophy at the Planck scale [9].”
