Could hiding entropy behind black hole event horizons be the perfect crime? Whatever other part of physics you have to break, don’t bet against the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The solution to the entropy problem of black holes turned out to change everything we thought we knew about black holes and absolutely nothing about entropy. You can’t hide entropy in black holes, because they have entropy of their own. Which means they have a temperature (they create heat). Which means they are not black at all.
