Sometimes I wonder, imagine if our physics never allowed for Blackholes to exist. How would we know to stress test our theories? Blackholes are like standard candles in cosmology which allows us to make theoretical progress.
And each new type of candle becomes a source of fine-tuning or revision, progressing us with new ways to find the next candles - cosmological or microscopic.
Which kinda points to the fact that we’re not smart enough to make these steps without “hints”. It’s quite possible that our way of working will lead to a theory of everything in the asymptote, when everything is observed.
