THE PARADOX RECAP. “In the present paper we have highlighted a non-trivial aspect of Bekenstein’s historical gedanken experiment: We have shown that if the body can be lowered slowly all the way down to the black-hole horizon, as previously assumed in the literature, then for near-extremal black holes the resulting increase in black-hole surface-area (due to the assimilation of the body by the black hole) may become too small to compensate for the loss of the body’s entropy.”
