Recent work by Jaffe and Scardicchio has expressed the optical approximation to the Casimir effect as a sum over geometric quantities.

This allows the quantities in the optical approximation to the Casimir effect to be calculat...

متن کاملHave Byrne and Hilbert Answered Hardin’s Challenge?
I argue that Byrne and Hilbert have not answered Hardin’s objection to physicalism about color concerning the unitary-binary structure of the colors for two reasons. First, their account of unitary-binary structure seems unsatisfactory. Second, pace Byrne and Hilbert, there are no physicalistically acceptable candidates to be the huemagnitudes. I conclude with a question about the justification...
