对宇宙熵的更大估计

A Larger Estimate of the Entropy of the Universe

Chas A. Egan, Charles H. Lineweaver

摘要:

使用最近的测量的超大质量黑洞(SMBH)的质量函数,我们发现SMBH是最大的贡献者的熵的可观测宇宙,贡献至少一个数量级以上的熵比以前估计。可观测宇宙的总熵相应地更高,为S_obs = 3.1+3.0-1.7x10^104 k。我们计算出当前宇宙事件视界的熵为S_CEH = 2.6+-0.3x10^122 k,使其内部的熵S_CEHint = 1.2+1.1-0.7x10^103 k相形见绌。本文首次对可观测宇宙中弱相互作用大质量粒子暗物质的熵作了初步估计,S_dm = 10^87-10^89 k。我们强调了与这些估计有关的几个注意事项,并对今后的工作提出了建议。

英文摘要:

Using recent measurements of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass function, we find that SMBHs are the largest contributor to the entropy of the observable universe, contributing at least an order of magnitude more entropy than previously estimated. The total entropy of the observable universe is correspondingly higher, and is S_obs = 3.1+3.0-1.7x10^104 k. We calculate the entropy of the current cosmic event horizon to be S_CEH = 2.6+-0.3x10^122 k, dwarfing the entropy of its interior, S_CEHint = 1.2+1.1-0.7x10^103 k. We make the first tentative estimate of the entropy of weakly interacting massive particle dark matter within the observable universe, S_dm = 10^87-10^89 k. We highlight several caveats pertaining to these estimates and make recommendations for future work.
