Thanks Nugatory,
it is apparent that in the philosophical jargon and in the physics one, the term "event" has a different (although related) meaning. Anyway, yes —*with (temporal) length of an event(philosophical term) E, I mean the temporal distance between the event(physical term) e1, which...
Thanks a lot ghwellsjr. I try to reformulate my question, because I am afraid I did not express myself clearly. Suppose you measure with a clock the lengths of two non instantaneous events and calculate the ratio between the results that you have obtained. As far as I understand, if you...
Hi,
I am a researcher in (analytical) philosophy. I am writing a paper on the conventionalism vs. objectvism about temporal metric, which is focused on a problem that arises before any relativistic consideration. However, in a note, I just wrote the following "the ratio between temporal lengths...
