Entropy and time dilation

  1. 1. how is entropy affected by time dilation(see below for details)

    • is not affected
    • increases at a faster rate
      0
    • increases at a lower rate

Time dilation causes time to slow down relative to an object as it travels faster so relative to everything else the object is experiencing time faster than normal. would not this mean that entropy increases relative to the object in question? If so this opens up the idea that the energy coming out of the poles of black holes may not be from the vacuum energy but form the mass traveling into the black hole turning into energy via the vast amount of entropy done to it because of time dilation caused by the near speed of light velocities created by the black hole's gravity. please give your view on this thought.

As far as I understand it, entropy is a measurement of the order of a structure; of the regularness of things. A planet, having low entropy, because it is ordered, would go through a process of becoming high entropy compared to before entering the black hole because the planet would be destroyed in the process of being sucked into the event horizon.

 

so therefore, I vote that entropy is dependent of time, because the rate at which something is disordered is directly related to how long it takes.

The poles on the event horizon of a black hole are no different than any other location on the event horizon. A non rotating black hole has no poles. and no radiation jets,

A rotating one, on the other hand, conserves angular momentum, but any effects are by necessity, external to the event horizon and the polar radiation jets can be explaned as radiation from the accelerated, spirally infalling material

 

By your reasoning a rotating and a nonrotating black hole behave differently with respect to entropy and the ingestion of mass/energy.

You also don't need relativistic speeds for time dilation as the intense gravitational field will happily provide it ( depending on observational location just as with relativistic speeds ), even if you slowly lower yourself into the event horizon.
