Gravity from transactions: fulfilling the entropic gravity program
Andreas Schlatter, Ruth E. Kastner
Abstract
Abstract This is a comprehensive review of new developments in entropic gravity in light of the Relativistic Transactional Interpretation (RTI). A transactional approach to spacetime events can give rise in a natural way to entropic gravity (in the way originally proposed by Eric Verlinde) while also overcoming extant objections to that research program. The theory also naturally gives rise to a Cosmological Constant and to Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and thus provides a physical explanation for the phenomena historically attributed to ‘dark energy’ and ‘dark matter’.
