Entropy (hidden information) changes the scale of spacetime to create gravity. Read below to see how this new theory of gravity solves science’s deepest mysteries.

I developed a new theory of gravity in which the scale of time and space change depending on quantum entropy instead of mass. In this theory, changes in quantum entropy underlie special relativity, gravity and the expansion of space. I use these changes to explain the phenomena attributed to dark matter and the expansion of the universe.

My most recent manuscript describes the mechanism linking quantum uncertainty to gravity—a feat that has not been achieved for general relativity, which in its traditional form is not compatible with quantum mechanics.

My earlier articles focused more on astrophysical phenomena. I combined them into one paper to make them more readable, link below:

Entropy Scale Factor - March 2022

For an in depth exploration of gravitational entropy check out this article in Physics Essays. Black hole entropy was previously though to apply only to the event horizon. In this article I argue that if black hole entropy is due to the gravitational field, then any object in the field should have some entropy. This extra entropy is important for my theory because it explains how systems like galaxies have more gravity than is predicted by general relativity (without using unobserved substances like dark matter).

A simple change with profound results.

About Me

I’m an amateur physicist in Indianapolis, and I spend my free time thinking about time, space and information. For more information see my personal webpage.
