Behind the veil: A black hole's event horizon contains an infinite number of microstates, but expressing these microstates in terms of a finite set of representative quantum superpositions makes it possible to quantify the entropy within. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/oorka)
A new theoretical model could solve a 50-year-old puzzle on the entropy of black holes. Developed by
