Following Chakrabarti,Chandrasekhar, and Naina [Physica A 389 (2010) 1571], we attempt a classical relativistic treatment of Verlinde's emergent entropic force conjecture by appealing to a relativistic Hamiltonian in the context of Tsalli's statistics. The ensuing partition function becomes the classical one for small velocities. We show that Tsallis' relativistic (classical) free particle distribution at temperature T can generate Newton's gravitational force's r −2 distance's dependence. If we want to repeat the concomitant argument by appealing to Renyi's distribution, the attempt fails and one needs to modify the conjecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
