Black Hole Event Horizon Area

An event horizon is a boundary in spacetime beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer.

The event horizon area is proportional to the mass of the black hole squared.

Formula

QuantityVariable["A", "Area"] == Quantity[16*Pi, "GravitationalConstant"^2/"SpeedOfLight"^4]*QuantityVariable["M", "Mass"]^2

symbol description physical quantity
