“…Gregory Good has illustrated the difficulty of determining the earth's interior composition based on magnetic measurements (Good, 2011). As Gordon Belot and Teru Miyake note, an analogous problem was faced by geophysicists trying to determine the earth's interior density distribution based on gravimetric and seismological measurements at its surface (Belot, 2015;Miyake, 2017b). 11 All these problems shared two pertinent features, which, loosely building on Miyake's work, can be characterised as follows: (i) scientists do not have empirical access to a parameter without relying on a idealised theoretical model and (ii) their measurements are subject to multiple overlapping perturbations that they can neither predict theoretically nor shield their measurements against (Miyake, 2011).…”

“…argumenta que modelos cosmológicos na relatividade geral são subdeterminados. 21 Belot (2015) oferece casos de subdeterminação no estudo da estrutura interna da Terra e do Sol em geofísica. Por fim, Pietsch (2012) argumenta que uma instância do que ele chama "subdeterminação oculta" pode ser encontrada na teoria eletrodinâmica de campo-partícula, e que casos de subdeterminação podem ser encontrados dentro de uma mesma teoria.…”

“…O mérito de Norton nesse artigo ( 2008) consistiu em mostrar como uma concepção simplificada do método científico pode levar à conjetura da subdeterminação de equivalência, e que uma descrição mais detalhada de casos históricos de equivalência empírica na ciência tende a mostrar que são ou irreais ou impermanentes. 24 Ainda assim, nada é dito sobre os casos específicos mencionados acima, discutidos por Belousek (2005), Pitts (2011), , Belot (2015) e Pietsch (2012), de modo que, dado o estado atual da literatura sobre o tema, não temos como afirmar nem excluir a conjetura da subdeterminação de equivalência.…”

“…Aunque no entraré en algunos de los interesantes detalles de cada uno, conviene notar que se presentan sobre campos de investigación dispares como la medicina (véase, e.g., Magnus, 2005c;Tulodziecki, 2007;Chin-Yee, 2014;Hey, 2015), la biología (véase, e.g., Stanford, 2006: chaps. 3-4;Dietrich & Skipper, 2007;Forber, 2009;MacColl, 2011;Olson & Arroyo Santos, 2015), la geofísica (véase, e.g., Belot, 2015), así como los ejemplos más notorios de la física concernientes a la gravitación (véase, e.g., Thorne & Will, 1971;Earman, 1992: 173-180;Wheaterall, 2015), la estructura del espacio-tiempo (véase, e.g., Magnus, 2005b;Manchak, 2009;Ellis, 2014;Butterfield, 2014) y las diversas interpretaciones de la mecánica cuántica (véase, e.g., Belousek, 2004 para un panorama). 98 Además, en la mayoría de los casos, las alternativas involucradas tienen diferencias no superficiales en los tipos de entidades que postulan así como en su estructura matemática (véase Jones, 1991).…”
