Istantanee di un buco nero. Vincoli epistemici e collaborazione scientifica nell'Event Horizon Telescope
Programma
This paper presents the case study of the creation of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), that provided the first image of a black hole shadow in April 2019, as one in which the collaborative approach was primarily necessitated by strong epistemic needs.
To this end, I introduce and explore the notion of “epistemic constraint”, meaning any component of the world that prevents us from gaining some definite kind of knowledge in a specific manner and allows or promotes some other specific kind of knowledge in definite manners.
The imaging process of a black hole shadow through the EHT is then described in terms of “epistemically constrained collaboration” — i.e., a collaborative mode of research where epistemic constraints prevail over other factors —, and the most important features of this concept are expounded. In the concluding remarks I try to outline a more general framework for future research based on the ideas advanced in the present article.
