科学理性的边界

史蒂芬·霍金被认为是继爱因斯坦之后最伟大的物理学家。他的“奇点证明”和“虚时间假说”是新的世纪之交物理学和宇宙学最重要的成就。奇点预言了时间的起点和终结,那是科学规律失去规定性的地方,而虚时间假说却又否定时空奇点,试图在量子不确定的前提下重新恢复科学预见性,这使得霍金的科学思想极富思辨特质。借助思辨哲学家海德格尔有关“世界”、“时间”、“存在”的思想对霍金思想的思辨特质敞开一种可能的理解或说理解的可能。

Boundary of Scientific Ration

Stephen Hawking is a unique and towering figure in modern physics. His brilliant work on Singularity Theorems and The Imaginary Time Proposal has already guaranteed his reputation among physics and cosmology in the new century. Singularity Theorems predicts that time has a beginning and an end, where the laws of physics bread down. However, Imaginary Time Proposal restores the predictability of science with the uncertainty associated with quantum theory. All of which enables Hawking's scientific ideas to be full of dialectical nature. This paper is going to open a possible understanding or possibility of understanding for the dialectical nature of Hawkingss thinking, by means of the Heidegger's ideas associated with "time", "to be", and "the world".
