The Substantivalist View of Spacetime Proposed by Minkowski and Its Educational Implications.
Levrini, Olivia
Science and Education, v11 n6 p601-17 Nov 2002
Explains that the geometrical interpretation of general relativity provides the formalism with intuitive imagery and an interpretation often presupposes a substantival space. Special relativity can also be interpreted substantivally, which is the key to laying out an internally coherent substantivalist line running from Newtonian mechanics to general relativity. Discusses cultural and educational implications. (Contains 48 references.) (Author/YDS)
