So being that black holes are the most information-dense systems in the universe, does that mean they have maximum entropy or minimum entropy?

Any non-BH object with the same mass as a particular BH must have a lower entropy than the BH.
Entropy is sort of a measure of "what you don't know." An ordered deck of cards can be described in a few works. There's not much you don't know.
A shuffled deck takes a lot more verbiage to completely describe. There's a great deal you don't know.
You don't know ANYTHING about what's inside an event horizon. All properties but mass, and spin, and charge disappear at the boundary. You can't know less than zero about something -- so BHs have the maximum possible entropies.

Stop begging the question, OP.

grammarist.com/rhetoric/begging-the-question-fallacy/

>Begging the question, sometimes known by its Latin name petitio principii (meaning assuming the initial point), is a logical fallacy in which the writer or speaker assumes the statement under examination to be true. In other words, begging the question involves using a premise to support itself.

A black hole is not "infomation-dense" any more than it has "rotational-velocidensity". That's just a made up word. In terms infomation crammed into a small space, a typical hardrive with a compression algorithm has more information space in it than any celestical object.

I seriously dont get how you get from log of multiplicity of a system to a fucking black hole. Given that we dont know the multiplicity and entropy has to be maximized to conserve energy I dont see a way to reasonably decide based on basic thermodynamics and thats where

That isn't entropy. Simple mixing or disorder is not entropy. It is a mathmatical state regarding the distribution of energy into stable states the represent a local minima.

>Entropy is sort of a measure of "what you don't know."
no it isn't. Entropy describes the energy difference between the current state and the theoretical "stable ground state" where no further work can be extracted from the system.

>> No.9374911

>>9374100
Nope, the energy of a black hole is proportional to its mass and volume. The entropic state of a black hole is a maximum entropy. You cannot extract work from a system that only includes a single black hole.

Black holes can lose energy through Hawking radiation, but if you put a radiation mirrior around a black hole it would be steady state forever.

>Does the evaporation via Hawking radiation lower the entropy?

It lowers the entropy of the universe. The BH has a maximum entropy density; it is a state of maximum entropy for a given volume (the volume inside the event horizon). However, the universe is much larger, and is not in a maximum-entropy-density state.

The evaporation increases total entropy by putting particles into states outside the event horizon. The remaining mass of the black hole is lower, so its event horizon shrinks. The black hole's total entropy thus decreases, but the universe's entropy increases by more than enough to compensate. It's essentially the same idea as how a blackbody such as a star cools by radiation: its entropy drops but the total entropy of the system rises because of the entropy in the radiation.

So the wiki page is wrong then? I don't think proportionality to mass and volume is correct. At best, It's square of the mass of black hole.
