Einstein, Relativity and Absolute Simultaneity is an anthology of original essays by an international team of leading philosophers and physicists who have come together to reassess the contemporary paradigm of the relativistic concept of time. A great deal has changed since 1905 when Einstein proposed his Special Theory of Relativity, and this book offers a fresh reassessment of Special Relativity’s relativistic concept of time in terms of epistemology, metaphysics, and physics.

William Lane Craig is Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology and Professor of Philosophy at Houston Baptist University. He and his wife Jan have two grown children.

At the age of sixteen as a junior in high school, he first heard the message of the Christian gospel and yielded his life to Christ. Dr. Craig pursued his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College (B.A. 1971) and graduate studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A. 1974; M.A. 1975), the University of Birmingham (England) (Ph.D. 1977), and the University of Munich (Germany) (D.Theol. 1984). From 1980-86 he taught Philosophy of Religion at Trinity, during which time he and Jan started their family. In 1987 they moved to Brussels, Belgium, where Dr. Craig pursued research at the University of Louvain until assuming his position at Talbot in 1994.

He has authored or edited over forty books, including The Kalam Cosmological Argument; Assessing the New Testament Evidence for the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus; Divine Foreknowledge and Human Freedom; Theism, Atheism and Big Bang Cosmology; God, Time and Eternity; God ove All;andGod and Abstract Objects, as well as nearly 200 articles in professional journals of philosophy and theology, including The Journal of Philosophy, New Testament Studies, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, American Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophical Studies, Philosophy, and British Journal for Philosophy of Science. In 2016 Dr. Craig was named by The Best Schools as one of the fifty most influential living philosophers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great example of that sort of collaboration
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
One of the two most important areas for philosophers and scientists to come together and collaborate, extricating the long-held errors and seeing what's left. This is a great example of that sort of collaboration, and many of the entries in this volume are nothing short of astonishing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Important contrary views with respect to special relativity and simultaneity
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018
Great collection of essays on alternatives, or at least suggestions, to Einstein's Special Relativity and the notion of the relativity of simultaneity. Also excellent on these issues is Max Jammer's book Concepts of Simultaneity, particularly the last chapter on the "conventionality of simultaneity" debates. Strangely, Quentin Bell's chapter is riddled with typos, but other than that this book is an excellent contribution to the field of spacetime physics and the philosophy of physics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contents of Einstein, Relativity, and Absolute Simultaneity
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2008
This book presents the recent experimental evidence and theoretical considerations that support the existence of absolute simultaneity or a preferred frame. Chapters discuss Einstein's Special and General Relativity, Aspects' and others experiments on the EPR correlations, Bohm-deBroglie quantum physics, Lorentzian interpretations of relativity, a means of defining absolute similtaneity in terms of a conservation principle for spacetime, the notion of absolute simultaneity in a universe with a Robertson-Walker line element, and related topics. It has an Introduction by Craig and Smith and chapters by William Lane Craig, Craig Callender, Quentin Smith, Anthony Valentini, Tim Maudlin, Franco Selleri, Tom Van Flandern, Michael Tooley, Richard Swinburne,, Thomas Crisp, and John Lucas. It should interest physicists and philosophers of physics.
