The bound on viscosity and the generalized second law of thermodynamics
Itzhak Fouxon, Gerold Betschart, Jacob D. Bekenstein
We describe a new paradox for ideal fluids. It arises in the accretion of an \textit{ideal} fluid onto a black hole, where, under suitable boundary conditions, the flow can violate…
Black holes in the TeVeS theory of gravity and their thermodynamics
Eva Sagi, Jacob D. Bekenstein
TeVeS, a relativistic theory of gravity, was designed to provide a basis for the modified Newtonian dynamics. Since TeVeS differs from general relativity (e.g., it has two metrics,…
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…
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…
Holographic Bound from Second Law
Jacob D. Bekenstein
The holographic bound that the entropy (log of number of quantum states) of a system is bounded from above by a quarter of the area of a circumscribing surface measured in Planck a…
