Bekenstein-Hawking Formula

The Bekenstein-Hawking formula describes the entropy of a black hole, linking its size and surface area to its disorder or information content. It states that a black hole’s entropy is proportional to the area of its event horizon (the point of no return), not its volume. This means larger black holes have more entropy. The formula combines fundamental constants of nature and suggests a deep connection between gravity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics, implying that black holes store information on their surface, influencing our understanding of the universe’s fundamental laws.
