The holographic bound, $S<=A/4{\ell^2_P}$, asserts that the entropy $S$ of a system is bounded from above by a quarter of the area $A$ of a circumscribing surface measured in Planck areas. This bound is widely regarded as part of the…

I provide a general proof of the conjecture that one can attribute an entropy to the area of {\it any} horizon. This is done by constructing a canonical ensemble of a subclass of spacetimes with a fixed value for the temperature…
Gravity is a macroscopic manifestation of a microscopic quantum theory of space-time, just as the theories of elasticity and hydrodynamics are the macroscopic manifestation of the underlying quantum theory of atoms. The connection of…
We consider the controversial hypothesis that gravity is an entropic force that has its origin in the thermodynamics of holographic screens. Several key aspects of entropic gravity are discussed. In particular, we revisit and elaborate on…
In this paper, we generalize Verlinde's entropic gravity proposal on the other fundamental interactions of nature. We begin by introducing the entropic origin of the Coulomb's electrostatic force, and then the magnetic force, by assuming…
We derive the Einstein field equations and black hole entropy from the first law of thermodynamics on a holographic time-like screen. Because of the universality of gravity, the stress tensor on the screen must be independent of the details…
