Classical particle dynamics, indeterminism and a supertask
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 48 (1):49-54 (1997)
| Abstract | In this paper a model in particle dynamics of a well-known supertask is constructed. As a consequence, a new and simple result about the failure of determinism of classical particle dynamics can be proved which is related to the non-existence of boundary conditions at spatial infinity. This result is much more accessible to the non-technical reader than similar ones in the scientific literature. | |||||||||
