Title: Jacob Bekenstein : the conservative revolutionary (M) / edited by Lars Brink, Viatcheslav Mukhanov, Eliezer Rabinovici, K.K. Phua Dewey Class: 530.092 Added Personal Name: Bekenstein, Jacob D., 1947-2015, 1945-, 1946- Brink, Lars, 1945- Mukhanov, V. F. Rabinovici, Eliezer Phua, K. K. Publication: Singapore : World Scientific, 2020 Physical Details: xxi, 370 pages : ill.; 26 cm. ISBN: 9789811203954 Summary Note: "Jacob Bekenstein, an Israeli physicist of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, planted the seeds of a revolution of our understanding of space time. Using conservative intuitive methods such as gedanken experiments, he discovered that black holes have thermodynamical properties such as entropy. Moreover, he found that their entropy was not extensive, unlike that of any other thermodynamical system considered before, but rather is proportional to the surface of their horizon. Furthermore, Bekenstein pioneered the study of black holes by focusing on their information content aspects. This led him to obtain bounds of a holographic nature on the amount of information that can be stored in a given region of space time. This book contains a series of scientific and personal contributions by his contemporaries who recall the struggle against his ideas and then with them: the fate accompanying many revolutionary ideas. This is followed by original scientific contributions by many of the leaders of current research on black hole physics and holography. They have trodden his path and expanded it. The impact of Jacob Bekenstein's visionary ideas is just starting to be understood"-- Provided by publisher.: ------------------------------ 0000000044370 Verfügbar in SISSA General 530.8 JAC -----------------------------------------------
