Universe of processes
Changing and four-dimensional physical reality
Abstract This paper argues that a conception of physical reality as a universe of processes offers an adequate framework to construct clarifying interpretations of relativistic phenomena such as «time dilation» and «length contraction». It further aims to show that physical reality thus conceived is, without contradiction, intrinsically changing and four-dimensional. Finally, it points out some features of this conception that could be of interest in philosophical debates that go beyond the framework to which this work is restricted: that of what is related to relativistic kinematic phenomena.
