Do Black Holes Have Entropy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second law of thermodynamics tells us that entropy always increases<\/strong> and that the merging of two or more systems creates a higher level of entropy than was present in the original systems. For example, one can imagine a box with a partition running down the middle, with gas molecules all confined to one side of the partition. If one removes the partition (combining the two systems), the molecules will likely disburse evenly throughout the box, creating a single, less well-ordered system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the second law of thermodynamics doesn\u2019t seem to apply in all<\/em> cases, particularly when it comes to the singularity of a black hole. Remember, we can\u2019t see into the black hole or measure the properties within it, so we don\u2019t know what the state of entropy is inside one. Imagine you threw some entropy-containing matter into a black hole, (thus combining the system outside <\/em>the black hole with the system inside <\/em>the black hole). Total entropy outside<\/em> the black hole (which is all that we are capable of measuring) would go down\u2014a clear violation of the second law of thermodynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the second law intact, we need some property of black holes that we can measure that would indicate its level of entropy and <\/em>that would increase with the addition of entropy-carrying matter<\/strong> into the black hole. A Princeton graduate student named Jacob Bekenstein put forward a theorem that appeared to solve this problem, building off Hawking\u2019s discovery about the non-decreasing area of black holes. He suggested that the area of a black hole was itself <\/em>a measurement of black-hole entropy. The more matter that was added to the black hole (increasing its entropy), the larger the area would become. Thus, net entropy would remain the same, and the law would not be breached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawking took exception to this theory, believing that Bekenstein had misused his earlier work. If a black hole did have entropy, that meant it had a temperature, which meant it emitted radiation. But this couldn\u2019t be possible\u2014by definition, black holes couldn\u2019t emit anything<\/em>. But, in 1973, Hawking ran calculations that showed that black holes would indeed create and emit particles. Moreover, the mathematical proofs showed that these particle emissions were at the exact right rate required for them to conform with thermodynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning a Negative Into a Positive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What could account for this? Hawking saw that the solution lay in Werner Heisenberg\u2019s uncertainty principle<\/a>. For now, all we need to know is that the uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to determine both particle velocity and position with certainty. There are <\/em>no certainties, only likelihoods<\/em>. Thus, the empty space just outside the event horizon couldn\u2019t actually <\/em>be empty<\/strong>, because this would mean that the velocity and position of every particle in every field (like gravity and electromagnetism) would be at zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, there would be pairs of virtual <\/em>particles, like gravitrons or photons. These are unseen by a particle detector, but they can be measured because of their effects on matter particles (like protons, neutrons, and electrons). Normally, such particles would find their corresponding antiparticle (a particle with the same mass, but opposite charge) and they would annihilate one another. Under normal circumstances, negative antiparticles don\u2019t last long, because there are so many more matter particles in the universe and these matter particles always carry a positive charge\u2014the antiparticles are quickly annihilated by their partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the presence of a black hole changes this dynamic. Near a black hole, gravity is so strong that the negative energy particle can fall in and be transformed into a real, positive energy particle<\/strong>. This transformation will enable its partner particle to avoid annihilation. The \u201csurviving\u201d partner particle, also having positive energy, can escape the black hole region. This gives the appearance of it coming from<\/em> the black hole itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inflow <\/em>of negative energy particles would, according to Einstein\u2019s famous equation e=mc2<\/sup>, decrease the mass of the black hole, seemingly decreasing entropy and violating thermodynamics. But the outflow <\/em>of positive energy particles more than makes up for this effect, increasing net entropy and keeping the second law of thermodynamics intact. This theory would also predict that even black holes have a lifetime that ends. Their mass decreases in a final burst of emission. But this process would take many times longer than the age of the universe, so it is not observable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
