Based on an assumed form that the entropy should take for black holes, the statistics for mass fluctuations are derived from Gauss's law of error. The normal density which results is not a limiting form of any type of physical statistics. The analysis shows that the temperature and mass may become negative while the heat capacities are positive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
