the second law is the statement of hawking's area theorem. analogously, the second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy in an isolated system will be greater than or equal to 0 for a spontaneous process, suggesting a link between entropy and the area of a black-hole horizon. however, this version violates the second law of thermodynamics by matter losing (its) entropy as it falls in, giving a decrease in entropy. however, generalizing the second law as the sum of black-hole entropy and outside entropy, shows that the second law of thermodynamics is not violated in a system including the universe beyond the horizon.

claude shannon's development of information theory in 1948 gave rise to the "entropy view" of randomness. in this view, randomness is the opposite of "determinism" in a stochastic process. hence if a stochastic system has entropy zero it has no randomness and any increase in entropy increases randomness. shannon's formulation defaults to boltzmann's 19th century formulation of entropy in case all probabilities are equal. entropy is now widely used in diverse fields of science from thermodynamics to quantum chemistry.
