A modest remark about Reichenbach, rotation, and general relativity
Philosophy of Science 52 (4):615-620 (1985)
Abstract
An interesting difficulty arises if one tries to reconcile Reichenbach's views about "absolute" rotation in general relativity with his commitment to a "causal theory of space-time structure." This difficulty is made precise in the form of a simple theorem about relativistic space-time geometryLinks
