Holographic Foam, Dark Energy and Infinite Statistics

TL;DR

This paper explores how holographic quantum foam relates to dark energy, proposing it consists of numerous particles obeying infinite statistics, and discusses the compatibility of holography with this unusual statistical framework.

Contribution

It introduces a model where dark energy is made of particles obeying infinite statistics, linking holography, quantum foam, and cosmology in a novel way.

Findings

Dark energy particles obey infinite statistics.

Estimated number of such particles in the universe is around 10^31.

Discusses compatibility between holographic principle and infinite statistics.

Abstract

Quantum fluctuations of spacetime give rise to quantum foam, and black hole physics dictates that the foam is of holographic type. Applied to cosmology, the holographic model requires the existence of dark energy which, we argue, is composed of an enormous number of inert ``particles'' of extremely long wavelength. These "particles" necessarily obey infinite statistics in which all representations of the particle permutation group can occur. For every boson or fermion in the present observable universe there could be $\sim 10^{31}$ such "particles". We also discuss the compatibility between the holographic principle and infinite statistics.
