Liverpool University and British Society for Philosophy of Science. The meeting is dedicated to the 175th Anniversary of Department of Physics BMSTU.
The most important single objective of the meeting in Summer 2007 is including the
advantages of the various physical, astrophysical, geometrical and mathematical interpretations
of the formal structure of Relativity Theory; and to examine the philosophical and
epistemological questions associated with the various interpretations of the accepted
mathematical expression of the Relativity Principle and its development.
The conference is called to examine the various interpretations of the (mathematical) formal
structure of Relativity Theory, and the several kinds of physical and mathematical models which
accompany these interpretations.
The programme timetable, giving authors and titles of papers as presented and other details of
the Moscow Meeting Physical Interpretation of Relativity Theory are given on the web site
maintained by the Bauman Moscow State Technical University
