Black Holes and the Third Law of Thermodynamics Revisited
arXiv:2304.07890 · doi:10.4236/jhepgc.2023.92039
Abstract
Black holes contradict the Nernst-Planck (N/P) version of the 3rd. law of thermodynamics, but agree with its unattainability (U) version. This happens without contradiction, because the N/P and U versions are not equivalent, namely, N/P implies U but U does not imply N/P. So, black holes obey the weaker version of the 3rd. law, but not the stronger one.
