Membrane Paradigm

The Membrane Paradigm is a theoretical framework in black hole physics that models the event horizon as a viscous fluid membrane endowed with physical attributes such as temperature, entropy, and electrical conductivity, enabling the description of black hole dynamics using familiar laws of classical electrodynamics and hydrodynamics.
