Don is critical of this approach, and discussion ensues, focusing on the question of whether the first law of black hole thermodynamics can be understood from a statistical mechanics point of view.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-01-14T04:56:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "black hole entropy", "black hole microstates", "black hole thermodynamics", "discussion ensues", "entropy measures" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "International Journal of Theoretical Physics", "year": 2005, "month": "Oct", "volume": 44, "number": 10, "pages": 1807 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 674935, "adsabs": "2005IJTP...44.1807J" } } }
