  2. Black hole thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_thermodynamics

    In physics, black hole thermodynamics [1] is the area of study that seeks to reconcile the laws of thermodynamics with the existence of black hole event horizons.As the study of the statistical mechanics of black-body radiation led to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics, the effort to understand the statistical mechanics of black holes has had a deep impact upon the ...

  4. Reissner–Nordström metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reissner–Nordström_metric

    Black holes with 2r Q > r s cannot exist in nature because if the charge is greater than the mass there can be no physical event horizon (the term under the square root becomes negative). [9] Objects with a charge greater than their mass can exist in nature, but they can not collapse down to a black hole, and if they could, they would display a ...

  6. Bekenstein bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound

    According to the Bekenstein bound, the entropy of a black hole is proportional to the number of Planck areas that it would take to cover the black hole's event horizon.. In physics, the Bekenstein bound (named after Jacob Bekenstein) is an upper limit on the thermodynamic entropy S, or Shannon entropy H, that can be contained within a given finite region of space which has a finite amount of ...

    Samuel Leon Braunstein (born 1961) is a professor at the University of York, England.He is a member of a research group in non-standard computation and has a particular interest in quantum information, quantum computation, and black hole thermodynamics.

  8. Jacob Bekenstein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Bekenstein

    In 1972, Bekenstein was the first to suggest that black holes should have a well-defined entropy. He wrote that a black hole's entropy was proportional to the area of its (the black hole's) event horizon. Bekenstein also formulated the generalized second law of thermodynamics, black hole thermodynamics, for systems including black holes.

  9. Hayward metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayward_metric

    The metric is not derived from any particular alternative theory of gravity, but provides a framework to test the formation and evaporation of non-singular black holes both within general relativity and beyond. Hayward first published his metric in 2005 and numerous papers have studied it since. [2] [3] [4] [5]
