See also: Bekenstein boundStephen Hawking often speaks of the thermodynamic entropy of black holes in terms of their information content. Do black holes destroy information? It appears that there are deep relations between the entropy of a black hole and information loss See Black hole thermodynamics and Black hole information paradox.

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or holes:
“By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
“A person taking stock in middle age is like an artist or composer looking at an unfinished work; but whereas the composer and the painter can erase some of their past efforts, we cannot. We are stuck with what we have lived through. The trick is to finish it with a sense of design and a flourish rather than to patch up the holes or merely to add new patches to it.”
—Harry S. Broudy (b. 1905)
