Special Issue on Dark Matter & Modified Gravity
Special Issue on Dark Matter & Modified Gravity <br> <br>Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics <br> <br>*Deadline:* *1 **DECEMBER** 2019* <br> <br> <br> <br>INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES ON DARK MATTER & MODIFIED GRAVITY <br> <br> <br>Astrophysical and cosmological observations as well as explanatory gaps in <br>the Standard Model of particle physics imply the existence of dark matter <br>and/or a modification of our best theory of space, time and gravity, namely <br>general relativity and its Newtonian limit. We invite historical and/or <br>philosophical contributions on dark matter (DM) and/or modified gravity <br>(MG) and especially the interface between these two research programmes. <br>Possible topics include, but are not limited to: <br> <br>· The underdetermination between DM and MG <br> <br>· Is a strict conceptual distinction between DM and MG justified? How <br>does this relate to the distinction between matter and spacetime? <br> <br>· What are the explanatory successes and failures of the DM research <br>programme, and of the MG research programme? Which models of explanation <br>are being employed by the respective programmes, and how do those relate? <br> <br>· How do data, constraints and explanations at the LHC, in <br>astrophysics and cosmology relate? Could the LHC, in principle, confirm <br>dark matter by itself? <br> <br>· Virtues and vices of simplified (dark matter) models. Do simplified <br>models explain? <br> <br>· Hybrid models, fifth forces & exotic theories that are neither MG <br>nor DM <br> <br>· Connections between dark energy and DM/MG <br> <br>· How to proceed in light of the small scale problems? <br> <br>· Novel predictions, fine-tuning and falsifiability <br> <br>· Sociology of the DM-MG debate (but please note that papers should <br>in the first instance be historical and/or philosophical) <br> <br> <br> <br>*Guest editors:* <br> <br>Miguel Ángel Carretero Sahuquillo (University of Wuppertal) <br> <br>Michael Krämer (RWTH Aachen University) <br> <br>Dennis Lehmkuhl (University of Bonn) <br> <br>Niels Martens (RWTH Aachen University) *(Contact person: <br>martens@physik.rwth-aachen.de )* <br> <br>Erhard Scholz (University of Wuppertal) <br> <br> <br> <br>Submissions should follow the standard guidelines of the journal. <br>https://www.journals.elsevier.com/studies-in-history-and-philosophy-of-scienc <br>e-part-b-studies-in-history-and-philosophy-of-modern-physics <br>When <br>submitting, authors should select, for Issue Type, “VSI: Dark Matter & <br>Modified Gravity.” There’s a drop-down menu when you begin the <br>submission <br>process. <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
