Abstract

Black holes are fundamental: They are where small and large scales meet, where the two main theories of physics clash, and where the finite and infinite come together. Furthermore, the explosion of twentieth century black hole science coincided with a shift in the phenomenology of the universe. We consider this philosophical turn towards cosmic mindfulness, and ask whether there are definite limits to our interaction with black holes, and if a human world could ever take direct advantage of the counterintuitive effects happening near a black hole’s event horizon.

人类对黑洞的探索

黑洞是最基本的:它是大小尺度交汇的地方，是两种主要物理理论碰撞的地方，是有限和无限交汇的地方。此外，20世纪黑洞科学的爆发恰逢宇宙现象学的转变。我们考虑这种哲学转向宇宙正念，并询问我们与黑洞的互动是否有明确的限制，以及人类世界是否可以直接利用发生在黑洞事件视界附近的反直觉效应。

期刊介绍： Endeavour, established in 1942, has, over its long and proud history, developed into one of the leading journals in the history and philosophy of science. Endeavour publishes high-quality articles on a wide array of scientific topics from ancient to modern, across all disciplines. It serves as a critical forum for the interdisciplinary exploration and evaluation of natural knowledge and its development throughout history. Each issue contains lavish color and black-and-white illustrations. This makes Endeavour an ideal destination for history and philosophy of science articles with a strong visual component. Endeavour presents the history and philosophy of science in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring the journal is a valuable tool for historians, philosophers, practicing scientists, and general readers. To enable it to have the broadest coverage possible, Endeavour features four types of articles: -Research articles are concise, fully referenced, and beautifully illustrated with high quality reproductions of the most important source material. -In Vivo articles will illustrate the rich and numerous connections between historical and philosophical scholarship and matters of current public interest, and provide rich, readable explanations of important current events from historical and philosophical perspectives. -Book Reviews and Commentaries provide a picture of the rapidly growing history of science discipline. Written by both established and emerging scholars, our reviews provide a vibrant overview of the latest publications and media in the history and philosophy of science. -Lost and Found Pieces are playful and creative short essays which focus on objects, theories, tools, and methods that have been significant to science but underappreciated by collective memory.
