Hawking radiation (also known as Bekenstein-Hawking radiation) is a thermal radiation with a black body spectrum predicted to be emitted by black holes due to quantum effects.
-
In the 1970s theoretical investigations by Bekenstein and Hawking of the thermodynamic properties of black holes have led to the conclusions that

Here the DS is a change in entropy, and this enters into the picture as a Bekenstein result on the Birkoff theorem recently found by Verlinde.

However, adding mass to a black hole will increase its size, which led Bekenstein to suggest that the area of a black hole is a measure of its entropy.

This black hole entropy is called its Bekenstein entropy, and is proportional to the area of the event horizon of the black hole.

Linde and Vanchurin say they had to invoke the Bekenstein limit, where the properties of the observer become an important factor because of a limit to the amount of information that can be contained within any given volume of space, and by the limits of the human brain.

Explaining what these states are that are counted by the Bekenstein entropy has been a challenge that has been eagerly pursued by quantum gravity researchers.

This principle claims that the number of fundamental degrees of freedom in any spherical region is given by the Bekenstein entropy of a black hole of the same size as that region.

Suppose that there were more entropy in some region of space than the Bekenstein entropy of a black hole of the same size.

From the time that Bekenstein first proposed that the area of a black hole could be a measure of its entropy, it was know to face difficulties that appeared insurmountable.
