Abstract
Based on constraints from microlensing and disk stability, both with and without limitations from wide binary surveys, we estimate the total number and entropy of intermediate mass black holes. Given the visible universe comprises 10 11 halos each of mass ∼10 12 M ⊙, typical core black holes of mean mass ∼10 7 M ⊙ set the dimensionless entropy ( S/ k) of the universe at a thousand googols. Identification of all dark matter as black holes sets the dimensionless entropy of the universe at 10 million googols, implying that dark matter can contribute over 99% of entropy, which favors all dark matter as black holes in the mass regime of ∼10 5 M ⊙.
