READ CAREFULLY. “Our analysis of the Salecker-Wigner type of gedanken experiments and implied by the holographic principle: it is now apparent that ordinary matter contains only an amount of information dense enough to map out spacetime at a level with much coarser spatial resolution.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

EINSTEIN’S FUDGE FACTOR. “Alternatively one can interpret these long-wavelength quanta as constituents of dark energy, contributing a more or less uniformly distributed cosmic energy density and hence acting as a dynamical effective cosmological constant.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

MACRO = MICRO. “Thus intriguingly, the large-scale physics of dark energy is intimately connected to the small-scale physics of spacetime foam.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

LONG WAVELENGTH QUANTA. “This scenario is very similar to that of quintessence, but it has its origin in local small scale physics—specifically, the holographic spacetime foam.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

STONE VS WOOD. “Experienced stone carvers say they can listen to the block of stone and feel when it will split through the strain on the chisel, but wood carvers describe a still more active dialogue with their material. They have to learn the character of each type of wood and take account of its ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ in the way that it is worked.” https://lnkd.in/ekm789He View in LinkedIn

NEW LAWS OF PHYSICS? “While Newton’s laws have been tested to high accuracy on terrestrial scales, the laws of gravity could, in principle, be different on astronomical/cosmological scales.” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

TIGHTLY WOVEN. “In order to appreciate how important a role entropy and gravitation play, let us first summarize the crucial steps in Verlinde’s derivation of the canonical Newton’s laws.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

GRAVITY AND DISORDER. “Entropy and gravitation come together in Jacobson’s idea of gravitational thermodynamics. Essentially Jacobson proposes that gravity is simply a consequence of disorder as quantified by entropy.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

FIXING THE MODEL. “These apparent shortcomings of ΛCDM motivated the author and his collaborators to construct the Modified Dark Matter (MDM), a phenomenological dark matter model inspired by the consideration of entropy and gravitation.” (ΛCDM = the standard cosmological model). https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn
