INTRO: Astronomers have observed the effects of a rapidly spinning black hole twisting the motion of matter around it, a result widely interpreted by cosmologists as consistent with a century-old prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. The finding is a striking achievement for modern physics. Yet philosopher Michael Kuznets argues that it also exposes a deeper tension at the heart of science itself: our most successful theories may excel at prediction while remaining silent about what the world is fundamentally made of...
