It provides a simple derivation linking information flow to space-time emergence, gravity, and quantum uncertainty, highlighting new relations between information bounds and physical laws.
Findings
Derived Newton's second law from information flow
Uncovered Heisenberg uncertainty from universal information bounds
Established a relation between information flow and bulk action change
Abstract
In this short note we show through simple derivation the explicit relation between information flow and the theories of the emergence of space-time and gravity, specifically for Newton's second law of motion. Next, in a rather straightforward derivation the Heisenberg uncertainty relation is uncovered from the universal bound on information flow. A relation between the universal bound on information flow and the change in bulk action is also shown to exist.
