Thermodynamics and gravity are more closely related than you may think

Traditionally gravity and thermodynamics have been considered as two independent subjects with practically no relation between each other. Textbooks on gravity essentially ignore thermodynamics implications and vice-versa. In this talk Prof. Diego Pavon (Departamento de Física, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain) shall argue by means of several simple examples that both subjects are more closely related than one may think at first sight.
