We finally understand how black holes obtain entropy. Physicists have struggled to figure this out since the early 1970s, when Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein calculated how much entropy, or disorder, should exist inside a black hole. Now, with a little help from quantum mechanics, researchers may have finally solved this problem.
“For a long time, people have thought that they needed to do all sorts of fancy things with string theory to solve this problem. But what we’re showing is…
