momentum is always conserved, considering that object
infalling into the black hole, its energy is coupled to the entropy
of the black hole which increases and thus the surface area of the
event horizon. Thus Hawking and Bekenstein concluded that
entropy of a black hole is proportional to the surface area of its
event horizon given by:

constant, h is Plank constant and k is the Boltzmann constant.

quantum theory of gravity which is elegant ample to solve the
problems imposed by quantum field theory, and able to
mathematically deduce microscopically the entropy of black
holes using quantum statistical mechanics. String theory is an
outstanding candidate of a quantum theory of gravity which
enables physicists to calculate microscopic entropy of black
holes due to its enigmas, supersymmetry and higher dimensions.
Also quantum field theory had imposed a problem of arising of
points of infinity density, singularities. Such points don’t exist in
String Theory in which fundamental blocks are one-dimensional
strings vibrating on two-dimensional world sheets, thus don’t
violate Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle at any cost.
According to quantum mechanics, about the event horizon of a
black hole there are very high temperatures and pairs of virtual
