Title: Beyond the horizon.
Authors: Mann, Adam (AUTHOR)
Source: New Scientist. 12/6/2025, Vol. 268 Issue 3572, p34-37. 4p. 2 Color Photographs, 1 Black and White Photograph, 1 Cartoon or Caricature.
Subjects: Quantum entropy, Quantum mechanics, Thermodynamics, Spacetime, Gravitation, Scientific discoveries
Abstract: The article focuses on recent advancements in understanding black hole entropy, which could significantly alter our comprehension of space and time. For decades, physicists have struggled with the concept of black hole entropy, which relates to the disorder within these cosmic entities, but recent breakthroughs in mathematics have allowed for new calculations. The findings suggest that the entropy of a black hole, traditionally viewed through thermodynamic lenses, aligns with von Neumann entropy, indicating a deeper connection between observable properties and the hidden structures within black holes. This convergence may also provide insights into the nature of gravity and its relationship with quantum mechanics, suggesting that gravity could be observer-dependent rather than a fixed force.
