About this listen

In 1973, Jacob Bekenstein showed that a black hole’s entropy is proportional to its surface area. The result has been treated as a paradox for fifty years. This episode proposes the resolution: a black hole has the most entropy because it is the biggest engine physics permits, and the second law is the receipt for every act of building since Genesis.
