If no reliable dynamical model of clocks existed in 1918, Weyl could not claim his theory was empirically coherent, since its physical interpretation equally presupposes such models.

No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Physical interpretation(philosophy of science): An explanation of what abstract mathematical symbols or equations actually mean in the real, physical world.
Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted): Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
Weyl(as a historical reference in physics): Hermann Weyl (1885-1955) was a German mathematician and physicist who identified a mathematical problem about how to connect measurements made in different reference frames in a consistent way.
dynamical model(as applied to clocks in physics): A mathematical description of how something moves and changes over time based on physical laws. For clocks, this would mean equations that explain exactly how the gears, pendulum, or other parts move.
