I was making the comment to help others who might want to think about doing another answer. | |
| May 15, 2012 at 3:11 | comment | added | kηives | I just thought that the main question was "Are there any papers in the literature that do make that claim?" That's all I meant to answer. The OP seemed thankful... I'm sorry you're not satisfied... | |

| May 15, 2012 at 2:10 | comment | added | Thomas | Thanks. I haven't looked at all of these, obviously. But consider the first paper. From the abstract: ``For macroscopic black holes, the logarithm of the number of these horizon microstates is proportional to the area, irrespective of the values of (non-gravitational) charges''. Doesn't that also say that if the entropy comes from the horizon states, then it is proportional to the area? | |
