Abstract:This paper makes an observation about the “amount of structure” that different classical and relativistic spacetimes posit. The observation substantiates a suggestion made by Earman (1989) and yields a cautionary remark concerning the scope and applicability of structural parsimony principles.
Keywords:Spacetime  Structure  Galilean spacetime  Newtonian spacetime  Minkowski spacetime
