Falling cats, parallel parking, and polarized light
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B 34 (4):527-557 (2003)
| Abstract | This paper addresses issues surrounding the concept of geometric phase or "anholonomy". Certain physical phenomena apparently require for their explanation and understanding, reference to toplogocial/geometric features of some abstract space of parameters. These issues are related to the question of how gauge structures are to be interpreted and whether or not the debate over their "reality" is really going to be fruitful. | |||||||||
