The Trouton–Noble paradox
Mechanical and electromagnetic relations involved in the Trouton–Noble paradox are analysed on the basis of special relativity theory as well as on the basis of Maxwellian electrodynamics. It is shown that the paradox only arises when not all dynamical effects associated with the moving capacitor used by Trouton and Noble are considered. Crucial for the resolution of the paradox is the fact tha...
متن کاملYablo’s Paradox and Kindred Infinite Liars
This is a defense and extension of Stephen Yablo’s claim that self-reference is completely inessential to the liar paradox. An infinite sequence of sentences of the form “None of these subsequent sentences are true” generates the same instability in assigning truth values. I argue Yablo’s technique of substituting infinity for self-reference applies to all so-called “self-referential” paradoxes...
متن کاملTrouton-Noble paradox revisited
An apparent paradox is obtained in all previous treatments of the Trouton-Noble experiment; there is a three-dimensional (3D) torque T in an inertial frame S in which a thin parallel-plate capacitor is moving, but there is no 3D torque T in S, the rest frame of the capacitor. Different explanations are offered for the existence of another 3D torque, which is equal in magnitude but of opposite d...
متن کاملNumerical models, geochemistry and the zero-paradox noble-gas mantle.
Numerical models of whole-mantle convection demonstrate that degassing of the mantle is an inefficient process, resulting in ca. 50% of the (40)Ar being degassed from the mantle system. In this sense the numerical simulations are consistent with the (40)Ar mass balance between the atmosphere and mantle reservoir. These models, however, are unable to preserve the large-scale heterogeneity predic...
متن کاملSuper Liars
Kripke's theory of truth offered a trivalent semantics for a language which, like English, contains a truth predicate and means of self-reference; but it did so by severely restricting the expressive power of the logic. In Kripke's analysis, the Liar (e.g. This very sentence is not true) receives the indeterminate truth value, but this fact cannot be expressed in the language; by contrast, it i...
