| Space, philosophy: various discussions deal, among others, with the question whether the space is absolute or whether empty space is possible. In different sciences, multi-dimensional spaces with certain properties are used to better calculate like Hilbert spaces in the theory of relativity or multidimensional spaces in mathematical nodal theory. No ontological assumptions are made. See also substantivalism, relativism, movement, absoluteness, compactness, conceptual space, dimensions, logical space, four-dimensionalism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

Bernulf Kanitscheider on Space - Dictionary of Arguments
I 193f Superluminal velocity/space/Kanitscheider: Superluminal velocity is probably real in our world by expansion of space (not in space). Probably not the only case. In some models of the Big Bang, galaxies fly apart at faster-than-light speeds at the beginning. This is no conflict with Special Relativity (SR), because the curvature was infinite at that time. Thus, strictly speaking, there is no finite environment to which SR could be applied! No volume element is small enough to serve as a local inertial frame. In no area the tidal forces disappear. >Relativity theory, >Space-time/Kanitscheider, >Universe/Kanitscheider. I 294 Time/Tradition/Kanitscheider: linear one-parameter sequence of finitely many present layers, reference system-independent meaning. Space/Tradition/Kanitscheider: This is not valid in the same way for space, because the Galilei transformation of classical mechanics includes a relativity of equi-locality. Therefore, the absolute space is already abandoned in classical mechanics, because the spatial coincidence of events at different times became reference system dependent._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
