| Quote | I think of gravity in terms of entropy, and, of course, entropy, which deals with degrees of freedom and such, is related to QM. Over the last year, I believe it is Linde who has seen entropic gravity as a means of reconciling QM and GR. So I follow it along those lines.
Now, personally, I think an important element is missing, one, which, if true, and properly understood, would form the foundation of linking entropy to QM and to GR. Again, these are just personal fancies.
However, I came to the conclusion in 2003 that entropy was the opposite of gravity, and that the early inflationary period of the universe and dark energy would both be related to this entropic force. In 2010 a series of papers came out that gave plausible mathematical arguments for all of this. Nothing has come out recently; so I’m thinking a whole lot of stuff is brewing. I’m not a physicist, so I have to wait for the physicists to do their mental gymnastics. But it is fun to muse and to watch what will happen next.
As a hint to the missing element, I believe that space experiences—perpetually—a double expansion, both at the speed of light. SR and GR remain unaffected when seen in this light; and, QM is, as it is now, a coupling of “matter” to the second expansion. However, the second expansion eliminates (as best I can see) some of the fundamental problems QFT has to deal with, viz., renormalization.
How titillating is this?! |
I think he should publish it in BIO-COMPLEXITY. |
I don't think it would survive even that level of peer review. |
I have access to a pier I can "review" their material off.
