Physical Relativity by Harvey R Brown
Physical Relativity is a critical examination of one of the foundations of modern science, Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity. Harvey Brown defends an original interpretation of the theory, and hence of the nature of space and time, which combines Einstein's insights with those of his immediate precursors.
Review from previous edition Harvey Brown thinks that most philosophers are confused about relativityMost centrally, he thinks they're confused about the relativistic effects of length contraction and time dilation. In this important book, he aims to set them straight... This is an intriguing alternative view about the nature of geometry. It should be taken seriously by anyone interested in the topic, and Brown's book will be the place to look for its articulation and defense. * Bradford Skow, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
