Bekenstein bound

Black holes have maximum entropy and information. Outside observers cannot see inside event horizons, so black-hole information is in event-horizon surface area. More massive black holes have larger event-horizon surface areas. By quantum-loop theory, event-horizon surfaces have area quanta, which hold one information bit. Larger event-horizon surfaces have more area quanta, hold more bits, and represent more entropy. Event-horizon surface area varies directly with black-hole entropy. Event-horizon surfaces have maximum entropy {Bekenstein bound}. If mass-energy falls into black hole, black-hole mass-energy increases, event-horizon surface area increases, and entropy increases. regions bounded by event horizons have limited information amounts.
