Spacetime,
blackholes: a logic approach

Sometimes the latest scientific breakthroughs are difficult to understand for the nonspecialist. An example is presented by the latest headlines involving black holes, timewarps and the new high precision cosmology. We will show how logic can be used to make these theories accessible via assuming a modest familiarity with logic. As Robin Hirsch wrote, throughout its history, logic benefited from those applications which were called upon by science being in upheaval (trouble, confusion, revolution). We will show how relativity theory (hence spacetime) can be built up from simple easy-to-understand building blocks via logic. No familiarity with physics is presupposed. We will also provide a logical analysis of the mentioned theories (e.g spacetime) showing which assumptions are needed for what conclusions. Flexibility of the so obtained theories will be pursued. |
