Sind die klassische Mechanik und die spezielle Relativitätstheorie kommensurabel?Are classical mechanics and the special theory of relativity commensurable?
Abstract
In its first part, this paper shows why a recently made attempt to reduce the special theory of relativity to Newtonian kinematics is bound to fail. In the second part, we propose a differentiated notion of incommensurability which enables us to amend the contention that the special theory of relatively and Newtonian kinematics are “incommensurable”.My notes
