老庄的“熔炉理论”与霍金的“黑洞理论”

The Theory of Crucible by Taoists and the Theory of Black Hole by Hawking

霍金于2004年对自己的黑洞理论进行修正,认为万物进入黑洞后,经若干年的演变,会重新开始新的轮回。而这一理论与老庄的熔炉理论极为相似。黑洞理论与熔炉理论的哲学基础都是循环论,而且都认为这种循环是无止境的,物质在不同的循环阶段以不同的形态存在着。

In 2004, Hawking amended his theory of black hole. He thought that once everything went into the black hole, it would begin a new recycle after years of evolution, which is very similar to the theory of crucihle by Taoists. The philosophical basis of them is the theory of cycle. Both of them held that the cycle was limitless and everything existed in different patterns at different periods.
