An alternative to the dark matter paradigm: relativistic MOND gravitation
Jacob D. Bekenstein
MOND, invented by Milgrom, is a phenomenological scheme whose basic premise is that the visible matter distribution in a galaxy or cluster of galaxies alone determines its dynamics…
Black Holes: Physics and Astrophysics - Stellar-mass, supermassive and primordial black holes
Jacob D. Bekenstein
I present an elementary primer of black hole physics, including its general relativity basis, all peppered with astrophysical illustrations. Following a brief review of the process…
Preparing the State of a Black Hole
Jacob D. Bekenstein
Measurements of the mass or angular momentum of a black hole are onerous, particularly if they have to be frequently repeated, as when one is required to transform a black hole to…
Fine-structure constant variability: surprises for laboratory atomic spectroscopy and cosmological evolution of quasar spectra
Jacob D. Bekenstein
Calculation of the Dirac hydrogen atom spectrum in the framework of dynamical fine structure constant (alpha) variability discloses a small departure in the laboratory from Sommerf…
Quantum Information and Quantum Black Holes
Jacob D. Bekenstein
First, the relation between black holes and limitations on information of other systems is developed. After reviewing the relation of entropy to information, we derive the entropy…
The Limits of Information
Jacob D. Bekenstein
Black holes have their own thermodynamics including notions of entropy and temperature and versions of the three laws. After a light introduction to black hole physics, I recollect…
