I looked up Bekenstein bound on wikipedia (it's a start)
"S=A/4 where A is the two-dimensional area of the black hole's event
horizon in units of the Planck area, \hbar G/c^3."
Can someone explain how a two dimensional area is used to measure the
amount of information that can be stored in a 3 (or more) dimensional
universe? (Or if this is too basic a question, simply email me
off-list with some educational URLs)
