How Does Entropy Influence Hawking Radiation in Black Holes?

AI Thread Summary
Entropy is a measure of disorder and reflects the equilibrium state of a system, influenced by its state variables. In the context of black holes, an increase in entropy correlates with an increase in surface area, leading to the concept of temperature and Hawking radiation. This radiation occurs when virtual particle pairs are created near the event horizon, with one particle falling into the black hole and the other escaping. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between entropy, quantum states, and the behavior of particles. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the implications of entropy in black hole physics.

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.

"Please write me a textbook".

People would be more willing to spend their time answering your questions if you were willing to put in more time yourself.
 
I will tell you what I know

Lets take an example. If there is a box with large volume. And if you put the marble in the box and close it. Then you shake the box. The marble could be anywhere. So that's what happens with atoms also. They can be at any states. Many of them could be at the same state.

Please add your comments and tell me if you have an alternate explanation.
 
Something more I learned is to be verified by you people.

I learned that

In quantum mechanics, quantum state refers to the state of a quantum system. A quantum state is given as a vector in a vector space, called the state vector. The state vector theoretically contains statistical information about the quantum system.

The quantum state of a system is indeed its state vector which contains statistical information about it. The particle's location, momentum, wavefunction and.. energy level. Am I right?
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
