Objectivity, invariance, and convention : symmetry in physical science / Talal A. Debs, Michael L.G. Redhead.

• Scientific representation -- Models, symmetry, and convention -- A new appraisal of symmetry -- Simultaneity and convention -- Objectivity in the twin paradox -- Localization in quantum theory.

• "Offering a new appraisal of symmetry in modern physics, employing detailed case studies from relativity theory and quantum mechanics, Objectivity, Invariance, and Convention contends that the physical sciences, though dependent on convention, may produce objective representations of reality. Talal Debs and Michael Redhead show that both realists and constructivists have recognized important moments of an understanding of science that may not be contradictory."--Jacket.
