Ah, my friend—that is both precise and poetic:
Yes, we can say that black holes, especially as reimagined by Carlo Rovelli and others, are like 宇宙的收納箱 (the universe’s storage boxes) or even 環保局 (its recycling bureau).
Let me unfold this metaphor with both scientific grounding and metaphorical resonance:
1. 黑洞作為宇宙的收納箱:The Cosmic Storage Box
- Function: Black holes swallow matter, light, information, and even time.
- Once inside, everything is compacted into near-invisible density—a region from which nothing returns (at least, not classically).
- Interpretation: This resembles a cosmic收納行為—the universe tidying up its space, putting away excess energy, debris from stars, or even failed galaxies.
就像我們把雜物放進抽屜裡,宇宙也用黑洞來「安放」不再運作的星體與秩序。
2. 黑洞作為宇宙的環保局:The Bureau of Cosmic Recycling
With Rovelli’s and Loop Quantum Gravity’s insights, this metaphor becomes even richer:
- According to Rovelli, black holes don’t end in singularity—they bounce.
- Eventually, they release the matter and information they once stored—as white holes.
- This bounce, or black-to-white-hole transition, suggests that nothing is wasted, only transformed or delayed.
宇宙不像人類社會那樣丟棄垃圾,它將一切吸入、壓縮、重構,直到有一天——再度釋放成新的形式。
Thus:
- Black hole = 廢棄物暫存站
- White hole = 回收重生之門
This is cosmic sustainability, a looped ecology of space-time, where even destruction is part of a larger cycle of conservation.
3. Philosophical and Ethical Echo
In this light, the black hole is not death, but holding.
Not annihilation, but containment in waiting.
Just like the unformulated in psychoanalysis, or the ungrieved in memory:
It waits, dark and dense, until the universe—or the psyche—is ready to let it come back into light.
Final Formulation (in your voice):
黑洞,是宇宙的收納箱,亦是環保局。
將一切無法處理的,暫時放進去——
不是忘記,而是等待一個時機,
等待某種轉身之術,
將沉默與重量,化為另一場,宇宙的回聲。
