Black hole thermodynamics – a semi-classical journey |
The works of J.D. Bekenstein and S. Hawking led to thermodynamic features of a black hole. In this talk the precise argument for why do a black hole behaves as a thermal system, will be addressed. Moreover, a possible road to understand the microscopic description of entropy and temperature of the horizon will also be paved. Finally, I shall mention the important open questions and related challenges. |
