Numerical Test and Analysis of the 2nd Law of Black Hole Thermodynamics with Gravitational-Wave Data from Binary Black Hole Merger Events [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.11683


Gravitational-wave detections of black hole mergers in binary systems offer an excellent opportunity to test the 2nd law of black hole thermodynamics. In this paper, we review how the entropy of any astrophysical black hole is calculated and we use LIGO and VIRGO’s mass and spin data measurements from black hole merger events detected over the past years to perform entropy calculations and numerically test the generalized 2nd law of thermodynamics. Besides, we analyze the mathematical correlation between the black hole merger event’s initial parameters to prove and conclude that the theorem will always hold.
