Computer simulations are nowadays often directly involved in the generation of
experimental results. Given this dependency of experiments on computer simulations, that of …

Abstract Many decades ago Patrick Suppes argued rather convincingly that theoretical
hypotheses are not confronted with the direct, raw results of an experiment, rather, they are …

We examine the justification for taking the Event Horizon Telescope's famous 2019 image to
be a reliable representation of the region surrounding a black hole. We argue that it takes …

Assessments of historical contingency have advanced our understanding of adaptive
radiation and community ecology, but little attention has been given to assessing the …

Putnam coined what is now known as the no miracles argument “[t] he positive argument for
realism”. In its opposition, he put an argument that by his own standards counts as negative …

The paper presents a case study of the data analysis in the CDHS scattering experiment of
particle physics performed in 1983. The case study compares the function of computer …

Cosmologists take the $\Lambda $ CDM model to be a permanent contribution to our
knowledge of the universe, based on the success of precision cosmology. Consistent …

This thesis provides a model-based philosophical investigation of the epistemology and
methodology of modern physics, based on three main axes:(i) the relationship between …
