Fragmented Twins
In this paper we argue that, contrary to what is widely assumed in the literature, Kit Fine's fragmentalist interpretation of special relativity is not empirically equivalent to its orthodox reading. Our main argument crucially depends on a classic relativistic phenomenon, the Twin Paradox. We then discuss other variants of relativistic fragmentalism that promise to escape the argument.
