I am trying to reconcile three things:
(1) The entropy of a black hole is proportional to the logarithm of the number of possible states of that object to give the same event horizon.
(2) The only parameter for a S. black hole is its mass, since its electric charge and angular momentum are, by definition, absent.
(3) The entropy of a S. black hole is huge, and definitely non-zero.
So, there are different states for the black hole, but how is that possible, when the entropy is clearly defined by the unique parameter, its mass? I'm missing something elementary here...
