There is a mistake regarding the title of my paper with Nic Teh (the paper listed there is not ours). Thanks :)

I am very sorry Helen. Thanks for all the wonderful things you have done for philosophy, academia and the world more widely.

And fighting Squirrel!

I am very sorry to hear this ❤️ I also wanted to share that one of the things that my students liked the most this semester (in a version of a great books class) was discussing some of the thought experiments from your “philosophy illustrated” book. I think some want to take philosophy classes now

Just today I was reading about how Galileo’s musical ability (in part due to his father’s influence) helped him measure precise time intervals (less than a second) for his inclined plane experiments.Also, his father’s acoustic experiments probably influenced Galileo’s approach to physics years later

Thanks, I will use those tags for sure next time! (Still getting use to the platform).

Gracias!!

Yep, at least this is drawing more attention to my article 😂

Imagine that we are on a train playing with some mechanical systems. Why can’t we detect any differences in their behavior when the train is parked versus when it is moving uniformly? The standard answer is that boosts are symmetries of Newtonian systems, but here I argue for a different answer.
