Very happy to share my new paper on what 4D shapes are (and aren’t) in special relativity (with Jack Himelright)! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/3G4GHZ...

It took a while but our paper on general relativity and causation in BJPS is officially out! This really started when working on my undergrad dissertation back in Los Andes under the supervision of Andrés Páez (in fact, that dissertation was my entrance into philosophy of science and physics).

Our paper, with @murgue.bsky.social and James Read, on causation and general relativity is finally out.

Deadline for applying to a postdoc position on my projet in less than a month. Looking for candidates with a PhD in metaphysics or philosophy of physics. spaceqg.com/visit-us/

I am very happy to share this popular piece about relative motion, from Galileo to Einstein! It is roughly based on my recent research on the topic! I am thankful to @iai.tv and Dan Walker for reaching out, and for their great editorial work !

"The portrait of Francis Williams is the only painting ever made of Halley’s comet in 1759, on its momentous first predicted return." What a fabulous story! A long read for a long weekend: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4... #histsci #Astronomy

It's nice to see that Purdue Philosophy is now recognized as one of the top departments to do philosophy of cognitive science. Undergrad/MA mentors: get the word out to your students! Especially if they're interested in memory, AI, rationality, moral psych, norms, cultural evolution, or x-phi.
