Michael McMahon Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) One way to interpret Einstein’s hypothesis of gravitational waves were the Sun to disappear is to simply observe the apparent red-shifting of light during a sunset. So we can still see sunlight even when the Sun has passed the horizon much like a mirage where the light refracts down in the atmosphere. Perhaps a solution to quantum gravity is to simply give up where there might not be quantum gravity! A slowing down of light during sunset would help to explain our circadian rhythms! The Sun isn’t literally disappearing but only from our own evolutionary minds so to speak! Simply Red - Sunrise (Remastered) Mirage diagram: (Less dense hotter air on ground is the same for an orange sunset) “Entropic gravity, also known as emergent gravity, is a theory in modern physics that describes gravity as an entropic force—a force with macro-scale homogeneity but which is subject to quantum-level disorder—and not a fundamental interaction… In 2009, Erik Verlinde proposed a conceptual model that describes gravity as an entropic force. He argues (similar to Jacobson's result) that gravity is a consequence of the "information associated with the positions of material bodies". This model combines the thermodynamic approach to gravity with Gerard 't Hooft's holographic principle. It implies that gravity is not a fundamental interaction, but an emergent phenomenonwhich arises from the statistical behavior of microscopic degrees of freedom encoded on a holographic screen.” Edited September 5 by Michael McMahon -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodworkingWizardry Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I'd be interested in hearing more about your thoughts on the implications of entropic gravity for our understanding of the universe. Do you think it could provide a unified theory of gravity and quantum mechanics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it could provide a unified theory of gravity and quantum mechanics? “I’m not God but to play God” I could ponder if colours were completely subjective then would redshifting in outer galaxies imply that time was slowing down in such regions rather than just the frequency of light? That way if you through a spear at the edge of the universe then time might simply freeze. When it comes to dualism then there’d be no one as far as we know in outer galaxies to affect a potentially slowed rate of time as if time also had an impersonal quality. “The javelin argument, credited to Lucretius, is an ancient logical argument that the universe, or cosmological space, must be infinite. The javelin argument was used to support the Epicurean thesis about the universe. It was also constructed to counter the Aristotelian view that the universe is finite.“ Edited September 5 by Michael McMahon -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Note One way to interpret the modnotes you’ve gotten is to stop posting crap like this, with no mathematical rigor and irrelevant videos. In fact, that’s the only way to interpret those modnotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
