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:
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
