Silvia De Bianchi (University of Milan): ‘Atemporality from Conservation Laws of Physics in Lorentzian-Euclidean Black Holes’
17 March, 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Event Navigation
Abstract: Recent results have shown that singularities can be avoided from the general relativistic standpoint in Lorentzian-Euclidean black hoes by means of the transition from a Lorentzian to an Euclidean region where time loses its physical meaning becoming imaginary. This dynamical mechanism dubbed “atemporality” prevents the emergence of black hole singularities thereby avoiding the violation of conservation laws. In this paper, the notion of atemporality together with a detailed discussion of its implications is presented from a philosophical perspective. The main result consists in showing that atemporality is naturally related to conservation laws.
Silvia De Bianchi is an Associate Professor Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan.
