论文摘要
本文通过修饰的重力和暗物质之间的辩论镜头审查了空间(时间)和物质之间严格的概念区分的可持续性。特别是,我们将Berezhiani和Khoury的小说“超流质理论”(SFDM)视为案例研究。从文献中提取了两个物质和时空的标准家族。根据这些标准对SFDM提出的新标量字段的评估表明,它与任何可能的东西一样多,但也比超过$ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $(修改)时空的(修改)可能是任何可能是可能的。续集论文根据这种结果检查了对SFDM的可能解释,以及我们对修改后的重力/暗物质区别的理解(重要性)的后果和更广泛的时空区别。
This paper scrutinises the tenability of a strict conceptual distinction between space(time) and matter via the lens of the debate between modified gravity and dark matter. In particular, we consider Berezhiani and Khoury's novel 'superfluid dark matter theory' (SFDM) as a case study. Two families of criteria for being matter and being spacetime, respectively, are extracted from the literature. Evaluation of the new scalar field postulated by SFDM according to these criteria reveals that it is as much (dark) matter as anything could possibly be, but also$-$below the critical temperature for superfluidity$-$as much (of a modification of) spacetime as anything could possibly be. A sequel paper examines possible interpretations of SFDM in light of this result, as well as the consequences for our understanding of (the importance of) the modified gravity/ dark matter distinction and the broader spacetime-matter distinction.
