Entropy, Gravity and the Mass-Boom

Abstract

Verlinde presents the gravitational force as due to gradients of entropy, an emergent force, with far reaching consequences. Using the Hawking-Bekenstein entropy formulation, we arrive at the conclusion that the Mass-Boom effect, presented elsewhere, forces the entropy of the universe to increase. Then the Mass-Boom is directly related to the existence of gravity. The principle of Mach implies that the Mass-Boom is responsible for the expansion of the universe. Thus, the Mass-Boom effect is a necessary condition for: 1) the increase of entropy with time, 2) the existence of gravity, and 3) for the expansion of the universe. The universe seems to initially appear and grow out of polarization: positive mass-boom (energy) versus negative gravitational potential energy boom, adding both always to zero. Polarization is then the cause of creation and evolution of the universe.
