A trialogue. Ted, Don, and Carlo consider the nature of black hole entropy. Ted and Carlo support the idea that this entropy measures in some sense ``the number of black hole microstates that can communicate with the outside world.'' 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.

  1. The Black Hole Singularity as a Thermodynamic System being the Seat of BH Entropy

    gr-qc 2024-11 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper proposes that the black hole singularity, modeled as a random network of elementary degrees of freedom, carries entropy proportional to M^2, matching the scaling of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

  2. Aspects of the Black Hole Interior Volume and Entropy

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A doctoral thesis compiles and reproduces prior semiclassical results claiming the interior scalar-mode entropy of black holes is proportional to horizon entropy with a coefficient less than one.

  3. The Case For Black Hole Remnants: A Review

    gr-qc 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review arguing that black hole remnants remain viable and that the species and entropy objections to them are not decisive, so remnants could resolve the information paradox.
