The Entropy of Black Holes and Intersecting Spaces
1:10:18 - 1:15:21 (05:02)
This podcast episode discusses the entropy of black holes, how throwing something into it can cause a decrease in entropy, and the intersection of different dimensional planes.
Clips
The concept of entropy in black holes was first introduced by Beekenstein and was later studied by Hocking in the mid-70s.

Summary
The concept of entropy in black holes was first introduced by Beekenstein and was later studied by Hocking in the mid-70s. Black holes have a huge amount of entropy, but when something is thrown into them, it appears as if the entropy is decreasing.

String theory proposes that there are extra dimensions beyond our three-dimensional world.
1:12:03 - 1:13:23 (01:19)
Summary
String theory proposes that there are extra dimensions beyond our three-dimensional world. These extra dimensions become useful in resolving certain fundamental puzzles, such as the location of hidden degrees of freedom in black holes.
