Relational Paradigm in Asks and Answers

History and Philosophy of Physics 2020-04-17 v1

Abstract

What is the reason for a minor success of relational ideas in scientific and public society? Are they actually that weird as they seem at the first glance? Here we attempt to look with a fresh eye at the main relational principles (derivative nature of space-time, action at a distance, and Mach principle), revise some questions that relationalists often hear from their opponents, both physicists and wide audience, and probably find new evidence in favor of the relational concept.
