Key Points

  • The objective is to conceptualize time as an emergent phenomenon resulting from the increase of entropy in a gravitational framework.
  • Combines four modern physics theories: Entropic Gravity, Holographic Principle, ER=EPR, and Margolus-Levitin Theorem.
  • Investigates how local mass and energy densities interact with quantum vacuum to influence microstates.
  • Explores the effects of quantum information on gravitational time dilation.
  • Establishes that time is driven by the increase in quantum entropy rather than being a fundamental backdrop.
  • Demonstrates that the expansion of available microstates causes gravitational time dilation.
  • Proposes that chronological friction is influenced by the Margolus-Levitin theorem's speed limitations.

Abstract

The Entropic-Informational Time Hypothesis is a conceptually coherent theory. It presents a diferent and modern perspective about the definition of time - based on a combination of four modern physics theories (Entropic Gravity, Holographic Principle, ER=EPR, Margolus-Livetin Theorem) and other formulas. Briefly, The Entropic-Informational Time Hypothesis (EITH) states that time is not a fundamental background coordinate, but an emergent statistical phenomenon driven by the constant increase in quantum entropy. Local mass and energy densities excite the quantum vacuum, expanding the "ceiling" of available microstates in that region. With a vaster configuration space to explore, entropy takes longer to saturate local options, creating the macroscopic effect of gravitational time dilation. This informational processing rate is strictly bounded by the universal speed limits of the Margolus-Levitin theorem, generating chronological friction. Ultimately, the theory unifies general relativity and quantum mechanics by establishing pure quantum information as the universe's only fundamental reality.
