Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 3319–3322 (1995)Why the Entropy of a Black Hole is A/4Received 22 June 1994; revised 12 December 1994; published in the issue dated 24 April 1995 The paper analyzes the relation between Bekenstein-Hawking entropy SBH of a black hole and the statistical-mechanical entropy SSM defined by counting its internal degrees of freedom. The mechanism explaining universality of SBH is proposed. © 1995 The American Physical Society URL:
