“…From a multi-fold point of view, all these works have so far blocked on challenges with the traversability of wormholes, something that multi-fold mechanisms avoid, while the multi-fold theory also seems to resolve wormhole traversability with the right role played in SM G 2 by in-flight right-handed neutrinos 3 . We suggest focusing on [1,5,6,8,10] for more details. The proposed references answer much of these issues in surprising ways.…”

This paper is a call to the Physics community, to all those interested in ER = EPR, GR = QM and the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture, you should consider how the multi-fold theory and the E/G conjecture explain and realize them in a multi-fold universe.In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles, that they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General Relativity (GR) at large scales and semi-classical models remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model resulting into what we defined as SMG. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model without New Physics other than gravity, i.e. no new particles or forces. These considerations hints at an even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model.This paper provides references to how AdS(5), the AdS/CFT correspondences, ER=EPR and GR=QM conjectures are encountered in a multi-fold universe and explained microscopically. It leads to the E/G conjecture, that gravity and entanglement explain one another even in our real universe. Outside multi-fold theories, the main additions that we provide and lead to the new interpretation, e.g. the E/G conjecture, come from i) multi-fold mechanisms that allow path integrals to include traversing of the multi-fold, something typically not considered with the wormholes models prevalent with these other conjecture because of transferability challenges in the real universe ii) a SMG model where in-flight right-handed neutrinos suddenly allow for wormhole to be traversed and look like multi-fold even in our real universe.

Based on both the strength of the Standard Model (SM), often lamented by some looking to evolve it, and the results obtained in the multi-fold theory that can qualitatively answer many open issues with SM and the Standard Cosmological Model (ΛCDM), we argue that typically, the recent widely published hints of New Physics aren’t. In fact they usually are not confirmed by later experimentations, or other theories, or the SMG, the standard model with gravity effects non-negligible at its scales, which we do not consider as new Physics, but just the addition of gravity to it. Alternatively, we see them explainable by the multi-fold theory, that most would argue as New Physics, assuming it were confirmed, but that we prefer to see as rather confirming SM and ΛCDM by adding the SMG, and multi-fold explanations, at the difference of other approaches like supersymmetry, superstrings, or say MOND. Indeed no new fundamental particle or force are involved, and there is no need to macroscopically invalidate or modify GR.

The Replica Trick, Wormholes, Island formula, and Quantum Extremal Surfaces, and How the AdS/CFT Correspondence Conjecture, and Hence the M-theory, Encounters Multi-folds

The multi-fold theory factually encounters the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture: the AdS( 5) space is tangent dual to the multi-fold spacetime. On the other hand, while the derivation of the conventional conjecture involved branes in AdS( 5) (+ …), which amounts to physical dual tangency, and key derivations like the Ryu-Takayanagi conjecture, are based on the same model, the conventional AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture can also be understood as a mathematical duality, where the CFT spacetime is not necessarily physically tangent to AdS(5) (+…). It can be justified as a particular case of the holographic principle. Therefore, the paper will revisit, and derive the holographic principle, in a multi-fold universe. As General relativity (GR) encounters multi-folds at Planck scales, the proof applies to GR-based universes. We also debunk the use of Wheeler's bag of gold as a counter example to the holographic principle.Trying to resolve the black hole information paradox, different teams have been able to recover the black hole Page curve, by relying on the replica trick with generalized semi-classical gravitational path integrals, in asymptotic AdS, with arbitrary topologies, including spacetime (Euclidian) wormholes in between replicas, to justifies paths in between the replicas. The approach also relies on the island formula for the von Neuman entropy as fine-grained entropy. One knows that the Page curve had to be recovered one way or another as with the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture, the unitarity of CFTs implies unitarity of gravity. The results, have also been extended to de Sitter asymptotic spacetime. The quantum extremal surface that appears in the process, bounding the island, leads to proposed physical interpretations of a black hole interior, that, in our opinion lead to more confusions than answers. In the multi-fold theory, we have already encountered an equivalent surface, with a much cleaner microscopic interpretation. For this paper, all what matters is that the microscopic interpretation validates the approach of replica tick, wormholes and island. But on the way, the paper discusses the differences between the multi-fold model and the conventional interpretation.A few recent papers reused the approach to study two entangled gravitating universes, with one possibly without gravity. Admittedly, speaking of different universes is a bit of an oxymoron, as a universe embodies everything that is physical. Also, what is between universes, whatever that means, seems even more a red herring, unless if they were to share, or be a (global) embedding or dual tangent space that is physical. Phrased this way, the holographic AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture would be a particular case. The papers also rely on the replica trick, and its wormholes, adding some replica and wormholes swapping entangled universe parts. They recovers sensible, and unitary behaviors as well as the ER = EPR conjecture. This paper provides multi-fold inspired interpretations of the quantum extremal surfaces appearing among the di...
