在1978年的一次关于“经典引力理论的基本数学结构”的讲座中，布兰登·卡特以这样一句话开头：“如果五年前有人要求我准备一门关于经典引力理论最新发展的讲座，我会毫不犹豫地把经典黑洞理论作为讨论的中心话题。然而，过去三四年来引力理论最重要的发展根本不在经典领域……”卡特的评估无疑是正确的，即黑洞数学理论自1973年以来一直没有成为相对论研究的主流。因此，我感到难以理解的是，为什么本次会议的组织者恰恰选择了这一主题作为本次会议的开幕词。但我感谢他们的礼貌，给我这个特权。
In a course of lectures on the ‘underlying mathematical structures of classical gravitation theory’ given in 1978, Brandon Carter began with the statement ‘If I had been asked five years ago to prepare a course of lectures on recent developments in classical gravitation theory, I would not have hesitated on the classical theory of black holes as a central topic of discussion. However, the most important developments in gravitational theory during the last three or four years have not been in the classical domain at all…’ Carter is undoubtedly right in his assessment that the mathematical theory of black holes has not been in the mainstream of research in relativity since 1973. I therefore find it difficult to understand why the organizers of this meeting should have chosen precisely this topic for the opening talk of this meeting. But I am grateful to them for their courtesy in assigning to me this privilege.
