摘要

Perhaps it was inevitable that two of the great mysteries of physics—the nature of matter and the nature of black holes—would come crashing into each other. Yet nobody anticipated the meeting or foresaw how fruitful it would be in generating novel ideas about the workings of the universe. In 19% Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa of Harvard University were working on the mathematics of string theory, a physics model that describes all fundamental particles as vibrating strands of energy, when they realized that a key property of certain black holes can be predicted by string equations. The researchers recognized an opportunity. So far, string theory's predictions have proved impossible to test with laboratory technology, but the analysis of black holes could help anchor it to the real world. Such work could also clarify what happened very early in the history of the universe. This conceptual breakthrough helped spawn a startling new field of study, string cosmology.
