Plato's cave is a black hole. An almost perfect example of making something up that only deceives the reader. Anyone who thinks that ideal forms are truths. Even Aristotle was forced to junk this approach and apologized for doing so to a friend (actually a master).
Philosophers who create ideas that are not falsifiable waste everybody's time. In contrast the "real" black hole is an excellent and useful idea that predicts measurable events that confirm rather than ignore the underlying thinking.
