Tests of Lorentz invariance: a 2013 update (2013, background): “The above premises lay down the basic elements for an axiomatic derivation of the Lorentz transformations [22, 23, 24], here we shall discuss it following the logic proposed in [25].”
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.”
Quantum Mechanics on Spacetime I: Spacetime State Realism (2009, background): “3 The conclusion also follows from Brown’s thesis ([2005]) that a spacetime’s structure is just a description of its dynamics.”
Drawing the line between kinematics and dynamics in special relativity (2009, background): “Brown (2005) characterizes the Minkowski metric as ''no more than a codification of the behaviour of rods and clocks'' (p. 9).”
A Primer on Energy Conditions (2014, background): “Even direct experimental verification of the Casimir effect does not yield direct measurement of negative energy densities, though the Casimir effect relies essentially on the existence of such; rather, the negative energy densities are inferred from measurement of the Casimir force itself (Brown an”
