Re: Singularity Temperature

[Peter Schoch <pschoch@NAC.NET>]

As I recall, Stephen Hakwing discussed the thermodynamics of black holes
(at least entropy).  I remember reading the article for my grad. school
class in GR.  That means the article had to be from the 70's to early
80's.

Sorry I can't find the citation for you.  At this point, that stuff is
either in the dust bin, or long stored in a forgotten box.
