The Entangled Universe: How Space-Time Arises from Quantum Information

The Entangled Universe: How Space-Time Arises from Quantum Information This paper presents a novel theoretical framework proposing that space-time emerges from quantum entanglement rather than being a fundamental entity. By integrating principles from General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, we introduce a mathematical model where gravity arises as an emergent phenomenon driven by quantum correlations. This approach seeks to address the long-standing incompatibility between these two foundational theories and provides a potential pathway for unifying them within a coherent structure. Key Topics: The unresolved conflict between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. A novel model treating space-time as a quantum information network. The reinterpretation of black holes as extreme entanglement structures and their entropy calculations. Implications for quantum communication and gravitational engineering. Comparisons with Loop Quantum Gravity, String Theory, and the holographic principle. This work aims to bridge conceptual gaps in modern physics and outline experimental pathways for future validation, particularly through black hole observations, gravitational wave analysis, and quantum teleportation experiments.
