I know that entropy is a measure of disorder. But Entropy is also a function of the state of a system, and has a value determined by the state variables of the system.
Does that mean Entropy describes the equilibrium state of a system. Please explain in layman terms in this context what is Entropy. Please show some example also.
Next since it was known that surface area of a black hole increases due to entropy increase. Also if there was entropy there would be temperature and also radiation. There would be radiation and so there would be quantum mechanical effect whre virtual particles are created one of the pair is sucked inside black hole and one from the pair stays at the event horizon which is hawking radiation.
Just want more insights on the last para.
