- Abstract:
- Black holes are theoretically significant because they are (ideal) entities fully described by just three properties: mass, charge, and spin. Their importance also stems from their unique status as spacetime entities with universal properties, including the event horizon and—when including the singularity—representing the boundary of space and time. Beyond their spacetime properties, black holes are also thermodynamic systems. Their behavior requires a theory that integrates both spacetime and thermodynamics. A black hole is something that requires both a theory of spacetime and a theory of thermodynamics to describe and explain its behavior. A consistent description of time, spacetime, and matter, is what black hole physics provides us. What metaphysics (of time, spacetime, and matter) does black hole physics entail? What does black hole physics teach us about what time, spacetime, and matter really are? These are the questions that will be addressed in this thesis. Although black hole physics, and specifically spacetime thermodynamics, has made significant progress in recent years, philosophical inquiry into these areas has lagged. While philosophers of physics have shown an interest in black holes from the outset, their unique properties and implications have not yet received the attention they deserve. This study aims to address this gap in the literature
