What is a Newtonian system?
the failure of energy conservation and determinism in supertasks
pp. 281-293
in: Synthese 124 (2), 2000.Abstrakt
Supertasks recently discussed in the literature purport to display a failure ofenergy conservation and determinism in Newtonian mechanics. We debatewhether these supertasks are admissible as Newtonian systems, with Earmanand Norton defending the affirmative and Alper and Bridger the negative.
