We trace the birth of black hole thermodynamics: Bekenstein’s area-entropy conjecture, Hawking’s discovery of black hole radiation, and the four laws of black hole mechanics. We’ll unpack the generalized second law, the deep link between surface gravity and temperature, area and entropy, and how these insights underlie the holographic principle and the quest for quantum gravity.
