Phys. Rev. D 69, 124008 (2004) [12 pages]Spacetime foam model of the Schwarzschild horizonReceived 6 November 2003; published 2 June 2004 We consider a spacetime foam model of the Schwarzschild horizon, where the horizon consists of Planck size black holes. According to our model the entropy of the Schwarzschild black hole is proportional to the area of its event horizon. It is possible to express geometrical arguments to the effect that the constant of proportionality is, in natural units, equal to one-quarter. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
