A four dimensional treatment of nonrelativistic space-time gives a natural frame to deal with objective time derivatives. In this framework some well known objective time derivatives of continuum mechanics appear as Lie-derivatives. Their…
The subject of so-called objective derivatives in Continuum Mechanics has along history and has generated varying views concerning their true mathematical interpretation. Several attempts have been made to provide a mathematical definition…
In classical mechanics, there are two objectivities: The ``isometric objectivity'' which concerns the constitutive laws of materials once expressed in a reference frame, and the ``covariant objectivity'' which concerns the universal laws of…
Recent advances in our understanding of foundations of quantum mechanics have shown that information can be made objective through quantum states. Such objectification processes, predicted e.g. in a variety of quantum open systems, must…
In section.1 the objectivity in science is presented shortly. In section.2 some details concerning the objectivity in the case of the mechanical movement description of a material particle are given. In section.3 details concerning the…
Time-dependent structures often appear in differential geometry, particularly in the study of non-autonomous differential equations on manifolds. One may study the geodesics associated with a time-dependent Riemannian metric by extremizing…
One potentially realistic specification for devices designed with transformation optics is that they operate with high precision in curved space-time, such as Earth orbit. This raises the question of what, if any, role does space-time…
We present a unified derivation of covariant time derivatives, which transform as tensors under a time-dependent coordinate change. Such derivatives are essential for formulating physical laws in a frame-independent manner. Three specific…
A possibility to represent the standard model of fundamental particles covariant derivatives by means of approximate generalized fractional Riemann-Liouville derivatives of multifractal time and space model is shown.
We compare different approaches to quantum ontology. In particular, we discuss an interpretation of quantum mechanics that we call objective quantum field theory (OQFT), which involves retrocausal fields. Here, objective implies the…
The time derivative of a physical property often gives rise to another meaningful property. Since weak values provide empirical insights that cannot be derived from expectation values, this paper explores what physical properties can be…
The concept of time is discussed in the context of the canonical formulation of the gravitational field. Using a hypersurface orthogonal foliation, the arbitrariness of the lapse function is eliminated and the shift vector vanishes,…
By considering a new form of dimensional reduction for noncommutative field theory, we show that the signature of spacetime may be changed. In particular, it is demonstrated that a temporal dimension can emerge from a purely Euclidean…
We consider spacetime to be a 4-dimensional differentiable manifold that can be split locally into time and space. No metric, no linear connection are assumed. Matter is described by classical fields/fluids. We distinguish electrically…
It is argued that setting isolated systems as primary scope of field theory and looking at particles as derived entities, the problem of an objective anchorage of quantum mechanics can be solved and irreversibility acquires a fundamental…
A hypothetical formulation of quantum mechanics is presented so as to reconcile it with macro-realism. On the analogy drawn from thermodynamics, an objective description of wave packet reduction is postulated, in which a characteristic…
The objectivity is a basic requirement for the measurements in the classical world, namely, different observers must reach a consensus on their measurement results, so that they believe that the object exists "objectively" since whoever…
In this paper, we use four-dimensional quaternionic algebra to describing space-time field equations in curvature form. The transformation relations of a quaternionic variable are established with the help of basis transformations of…
The transformation of the partial fractional derivatives under spatial rotation in $R^2$ are derived for the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo definitions. These transformation properties link the observation of physical quantities, expressed…
In the covariant canonical approach to classical physics, each point in phase space represents an entire classical trajectory. Initial data at a fixed time serve as coordinates for this ``timeless'' phase space, and time evolution can be…
