Abstract
Hagedorn’s bootstrap should not be applied to hadronic matter at densities large against nuclear densities. The correct predictions of the thermodynamical model do not use any relation between the mass of the fireballs and their size, whereas the astrophysical applications depend on the unreasonable assumption that the size is independent of the mass. Moreover, the most spectacular prediction of the bootstrap, namely violent black hole explosions yielding 1015 g in the last millisecond, is completely unfounded, even if such an assumption is made.
Talk given at the Workshop of Hadronic Matter at Extreme Energy Density, Erice, October 1978
