 In a recent article, Dougherty and Callender (2019) challenge the orthodoxy from the opposite direction. They argue that we should be far more skeptical of the idea that the laws of black holes are more than just formal analogy, and that, indeed, there are strong reasons to think that they are not physically the laws of thermodynamics extended into a new domain. Their main argument is that the Zeroth Law of black holes cannot do the work that the standard formulation of the Zeroth Law does in classical thermodynamics. In classical thermodynamics, the standard formulation of the Zeroth Law is transitivity of equilibrium: two bodies each in equilibrium with a third will be in equilibrium with each other. They point out that this transitivity of equilibrium underlies many of the most important constructions and structures in classical thermodynamics, which mere constancy of temperature (surface gravity) for a single system in equilibrium does not suffice for. Curiel (2018), however, recently proposed a strengthened version of the Zeroth Law for black holes, based on a characterization of transitivity of equilibrium among them, in an attempt to address this challenge. It suffers from several problems, however, most importantly the fact that it relies on a notion of “approximate symmetry” in general relativity that is not well defined. This is an area of active dispute.
