This project aims at analyzing the philosophical program of geometrization in contemporary physics. For this purpose we will investigate the features of the geometric structure of the physical theories towards the end of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. We will look whether, and to what extent, these features constitute a specific form of scientific thought - wh…
Abraham Michelson in 1881 devised one of the most ingenious experiments of his time in seeking to determine the dynamic state of the ether. However, the results obtained weren't in agreement with current theory at that time. Therefore, a new, more accurate, version of this experiment was performed in 1887, with the contribution of Edward Morley, but the results were again negative. The Mi…
At different moments in the history of science, it is possible to see some aspects of geometry playing relevant roles in physics. In fact, the importance of geometric thinking is, in some cases, so large as to make us wonder whether geometrization does in some way constitute a peculiar and pervasive made of constituting scientific knowledge. We will think about it in contemporary physics,…
