Quantum Gravity Emergence from Entanglement in a Multi-Fold Universe

Abstract

We start from a hypothetical multi-fold universe U_MF, where the propagation of everything is slower or equal to ‎the speed of light and where entanglement extends the set of paths available to Path Integrals. This multifold ‎mechanism enables EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) “spooky actions at distance” to result from local interactions ‎in the resulting folds. It produces gravity-like attractive effective potentials in the spacetime, between entangled ‎entities, that are caused by the curvature of the folds. When quantized, multi-folds correspond to gravitons and ‎they are enablers of EPR entanglement. Gravity emerges non-perturbative and covariant from EPR entanglement ‎between virtual particles surrounding an entity. In U_MF, we encounter mechanisms that predict gravity fluctuations ‎when entanglement is present, including in macroscopic entanglements. Besides providing a new perspective on ‎quantum gravity, when added to the Standard Model as (SMG), with non-negligible affects at its scales, and to the ‎Standard Cosmology, U_MF can contribute explanations of several open questions and challenges. It also clarifies ‎some relationships and challenges met by other quantum gravity models and Theories of Everything. It leads to ‎suggestions for these works. We also reconstruct the spacetime of U_MF, starting from the random walks of particles ‎in an early spacetime. U_MF now appears as a noncommutative, discrete, yet Lorentz symmetric, spacetime that ‎behaves roughly 2-Dimensional at Planck scales, when it is a graph of microscopic Planck size black holes on a ‎random walk fractal structure left by particles that can also appear as microscopic black holes. Of course, at larger ‎scales, spacetime appears 4-D, where we are able to explain curvature and recover Einstein’s General Relativity. We ‎also discover an entanglement gravity-like contributions and massive gravity at very small scales. This is ‎remarkable considering that no Hilbert Einstein action, or variations expressing area invariance, were introduced. ‎Our model also explains why semi classical approaches can work till way smaller scale than usually expected and ‎present a new view on an Ultimate Unification of all forces, at very small scales. We also explore opportunities for ‎falsifiability and validation of our model, as well as ideas for futuristic applications, that may be worth considering, ‎if U_MF was a suitable model for our universe U_real.‎

No Conventional Sterile Neutrinos In a Multi-fold Universe: just SMG business as usual

“…2.1 Neutrino Masses and Right-handed Neutrinos [1,5] observed that gravity induces chirality/ helicity flips for fermions, including the neutrinos. As no right-handed neutrino has ever been observed, it is assumed that right-handed neutrinos do not interact other than with the Higgs (and gravity) and so they appear only in flight as part of the neutrino oscillations.…”

“…The new preprint [1] proposes contributions to several open problems in physics like the reconciliation of General Relativity (GR) with Quantum Physics, explaining the origin of gravity proposed as emerging from quantum (EPR-Einstein Podolsky Rosen) entanglement between particles, detailing contributions to dark matter and dark energy and explaining other Standard Model (SM) mysteries, without requiring New Physics beyond the Standard Model other than the addition of gravity to the Standard Model Lagrangian (i.e. now new forces or particles except for the notion graviton that deserves its own careful treatment).…”

“…Yet, it requires the reader to review [1], as we do not revisit here all the details of the multifold mechanisms or reconstruction of spacetime, nor the derivations of implications for the Standard Model. More targeted references for all the material discussed here are compiled in [1].…”

A bold prediction on the muon anomalous magnetic moment, and expected resulted to be published on April 7, 2021 by the Fermilab Muon g-2, and its explanation

“…Note that in a multi-fold universe, gravity increases at the scales of the Standard Model (something that we denote as SM G ) and we expected it to be non-negligible (even if small) with all the massive gravity contributions that start to contribute [12,20]. Accordingly, the microscopic radii involved are smaller than what is discussed in [19].…”

“…Considering [7,8,12], the electron and the muon are modeled as microscopic black holes regularized by a superconducting edge that confines a condensate of massless Higgs boson inside. Even if surprising to many, this proposal recovers many results in physics e.g.…”
