AREA AS ENTROPY. “We have conjectured that this last analogy is more than formal, namely, that the area of a black hole expressed in suitable units may be regarded as the black-hole entropy — entropy in the sense of information about the black-hole interior inaccessible to exterior observers.” https://lnkd.in/dAr7QTt View in LinkedIn

IMPORTANT NEW THEORY. “Generalized second law of thermodynamics in black-hole physics, by Jacob Bekenstein. Black-hole physics mirrors thermodynamics in many respects. For example, Christodoulou has shown that the efficiencies of processes for extracting energy from a black hole are limited by their irreversibility; the most efficient processes are the "reversible" ones.” https://lnkd.in/dAr7QTt View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE THERMODYNAMICS. We continue with some extensive in depth examinations of additional important work by Professor Jacob Bekenstein, a remarkable theoretical physicist, who made “who made fundamental contributions to the foundation of black hole thermodynamics and to other aspects of the connections between information and gravitation.” He was a student of the remarkable Princeton physicist John Archibald Wheeler, who supervised his precocious PhD. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Bekenstein View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this immensely interesting and difficult paper, where a reader like me is simply hanging on by their fingernails to follow this radiant stream of thought. Understanding how physicists see the world is somewhat of a rare sport: Einstein introduced relativity in 1905, and we are still choking on digesting what it all means, but be assured, while it will undoubtedly continue to change, it is a radical and important view of reality.
