Jacob Bekenstein is a theoretical physicist best known for discovering that black holes possess entropy and emit radiation, fundamentally linking thermodynamics to gravity and information theory. In the course readings, his work on black hole thermodynamics appears to support arguments about the deep equivalence between quantum mechanics, relativity, and chaos theory—suggesting that alternate universes, many-worlds interpretations, and fractal dimensions may be manifestations of a unified informational substrate.
