On the Revolutionary Vision and Boldness of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) in Modern Theoretical Physics

On the Revolutionary Vision and Boldness of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) in Modern Theoretical Physics 

There is no longer anyone left in doubt that the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), as first formulated and further developed by John Onimisi Obidi, is revolutionary, radical and provocative in its ideas, even though it is not yet widely accepted or confirmed, only because it is new, unconventional, and still in the process of being completely and rigorously mathematically and experimentally developed.

Now let us explain this clearly, honestly, and in a way that helps the reader understand the scientific landscape without bias or exaggeration.


1. ToE is Revolutionary — Here’s Why

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) makes a very bold, original claim:

Entropy is not just a statistical number — it is the fundamental physical field that shapes motion, gravity, time, and quantum behavior.

This is not what standard physics says.

Modern physics has:

  • gravity = curvature of spacetime (Einstein)
  • quantum mechanics = probability amplitudes
  • thermodynamics = entropy from statistics
  • information theory = entropy from uncertainty

ToE says:

All of these come from one thing: the entropy field.

This is a unifying, foundational, first-principles reformulation.
That is revolutionary.

ToE attempts to do for entropy what:

  • Maxwell did for electromagnetism
  • Einstein did for spacetime
  • Dirac did for quantum mechanics
  • Shannon did for information

This level of ambition is rare.


2. But ToE Is Not Yet Accepted or Confirmed — Here’s Why

Science acceptance takes time — and lots of evidence.
ToE is new, young, and still being built.

Right now:

  • No mainstream physics journals have fully adopted it.
  • Few researchers know about it.
  • It has not been tested experimentally.
  • It needs full and total mathematical development that can speak to the current habit of scientists and physicists, which makes them unamenable to new breakthrough and radical ideas.
  • It challenges established foundations — which triggers skepticism.

This is very normal for new theories:

Even Einstein was unknown for years.
Even quantum mechanics was doubted at first.
Even plate tectonics was rejected for 50 years.

So non-acceptance right now does NOT mean ToE is wrong.
It simply means it is early.


3. Why It Is Not Yet Confirmed

For a theory to be accepted, it must eventually:

  1. Match all existing observations
  2. Make new predictions
  3. Be testable in experiments
  4. Provide clear, rigorous mathematical equations
  5. Be reproducible by independent researchers

ToE is in step (4):
building the mathematical structure, like the Obidi Actions [the Local Obidi Action (LOA) and the Spectral Obidi Action (SOA)], the Entropic Field Equation, and the Vuli-Ndlela Integral.

Only after that can TOE universally reach step (5) and step (3).

This is a normal path.


4. What ToE does have right now (and why this is promising)

Even though it’s early, ToE already has:

  • a clear conceptual foundation
  • a consistent physical picture
  • equations that explain motion
  • an entropy-based mechanism for gravity
  • an entropy-based mechanism for light bending
  • an entropy-based explanation of time
  • potential links to quantum mechanics
  • a candidate fundamental action (Obidi Action)
  • a reformulated path integral (Vuli Ndlela Integral)

This is far more structured than most “new theories” proposed in physics.

Most new ideas never even get to the level of:

  • a field equation
  • an action principle
  • predictions
  • mathematical consistency

ToE already has all of these in early form.


5. The Big Truth (and we all should remember this)

Every revolutionary idea begins as:

  • unaccepted
  • unknown
  • unproven
  • strange
  • outside the mainstream

This is normal.

The most important question is:

❗Is ToE internally consistent and physically promising enough to deserve more development?

The answer is a non-equivocal yes.

ToE is internally consistent as long as its entropy field principles hold.
It is promising because it tries to unify:

  • gravity
  • motion
  • space
  • time
  • quantum behavior
  • information

by using one master principle: entropy flow.

That is rare and valuable.


6. So what is the status of ToE today?

✔ Revolutionary

Because it tries something totally new — elevating entropy to the fundamental position.

✔ Not yet accepted

Because acceptance needs time, development, publication, and independent review — but above all, understanding; because once there is understanding by the people and community of particular concern and interest, then acceptance naturally follows.

✔ Not yet confirmed

Because confirmation needs experiments and predictions that can be tested.

✔ Promising, original, and highly ambitious

Because ToE aims to unify physics in a way nobody else is currently attempting, it is therefore not only original and highly ambitious, but also no less equally promising.


7.  Conclusion

ToE is at the stage where Einstein’s ideas were in 1905.
Brilliant and new — but not yet recognized.

If ToE continues to be developed mathematically, clearly, and rigorously (just as it is currently being done), it has the edge and irreducible potential to become a serious and formidable framework in modern theoretical physics.

Thus the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) is at the very beginning of something that could grow into a full scientific discipline if developed correctly and unyieldingly by its originator and creator— and with the cooperation and contribution of like-minded thinkers, researchers and investigators in the field.

May posterity bear witness to the happy outcome of these efforts.



The Role of the Observer in Modern Physics vs. Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

The Role of the Observer in Modern Physics vs. Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

In this piece, we briefly examine the "observer's privileged role" in modern physics, specifically in relation to John Onimisi Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE). 

In the context of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), the observer's role is specifically not privileged in defining physical reality. 
The Role of the Observer in Modern Physics vs. Obidi's Theory
  • Modern Physics (Quantum Mechanics): In standard interpretations of quantum mechanics (like the Copenhagen interpretation), the act of observation (measurement) is central and can fundamentally alter or "collapse" a quantum system from a superposition of states into a single, definite outcome. This leads some to suggest a "participatory universe" where the observer is intrinsically relevant to the result.
  • Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE): Obidi's framework takes an almost opposite stance to observer-dependent theories. It argues that reality, including spacetime and quantum behavior, emerges from an underlying entropic field, independent of any observer. In ToE, reality is enforced by entropy, not by measurement or observer frames of reference. This position aims to restore Einstein's realist intuition (that reality exists independently of observation) to both relativity and quantum mechanics. 
Hierarchy of the Observer in Obidi's Framework
Therefore, within Obidi's ToE, there is no "hierarchy" that elevates the observer's role. Instead, the framework relegates the observer to an external, non-fundamental position. 
The concept of a "hierarchy of observers" is, however, explored in other contemporary theoretical physics proposals (e.g., in works by Elshatlawy et al.), which analyze different types of observers such as "external" and "internal" observers to formalize their roles across different physical domains. These separate theories suggest: 
  • External Observers: Must adhere to relativistic causality and the no-signaling principle, limited by the speed of light.
  • Internal Observers: Are inherently non-local and potentially acausal, but their consistency is maintained by a self-consistency principle. 
Obidi's work stands in contrast to approaches that make the mind or the observer primary, focusing instead on a universal, objective physical principle (entropy) as the fundamental driver of reality.

🔑 Why the Observer Loses Privilege in ToE

  • Entropy as sovereign: Reality is governed by entropy fields, not by the act of observation.

  • Collapse by entropy exchange: Quantum collapse happens when entropy transfer exceeds the Criterion of Entropic Observability, not when an observer “looks.”

  • Relativity from entropy gradients: Spacetime effects emerge from entropy dynamics, not from observer-dependent frames of reference.

  • Observer absorbed into entropy field: The observer is part of the entropic system, not an external arbiter with special authority.

⚖️ Contrast

  • Newton: Observer is absolute, describing reality against fixed space and time.

  • Einstein: Observer is relative, embedded in spacetime with no privileged vantage.

  • Bohr/Wheeler: Observer is central, triggering collapse or co-creating reality.

  • Everett/Bohm: Observer is marginalized, present but not fundamental.

  • Obidi (ToE): Observer is dethroned, fully subsumed into entropy — no privilege at all.

Axioms of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): Observer Principle

Axioms of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): Observer Principle

Axiom 1 — Embeddedness

The observer is not external to reality but a subsystem embedded within the entropic field. Observation is itself an entropic process, inseparable from the redistribution of information.

Axiom 2 — Non‑Relativity and Non‑Absoluteness

The observer is neither relative (as in Einstein’s perspectival frames) nor absolute (as in Newton’s privileged vantage). Instead, the observer is integral: their existence is computed by entropy’s dynamics, not imposed upon them.

Axiom 3 — Dethronement

The observer does not define reality; reality defines the observer. Relativity, causality, and perception are emergent consequences of entropy’s finite‑rate dynamics, not fundamental determinants.

Axiom 4 — Universality of Entropy

Entropy is ontological and universal. Its values are not frame‑dependent but intrinsic to the entropic field. Gravitational entropy, like all entropic phenomena, is a direct manifestation of the field’s dynamics.

Axiom 5 — Computed Reality

What the observer perceives has already been computed by the entropic field. Observation is secondary, a read‑out of entropy’s causal structure, not a primary act of definition.

Axiom 6 — Emergent Relativity

Relativistic effects (time dilation, length contraction) arise as secondary consequences of entropy’s finite‑rate redistribution. They are not imposed by observer frames but enforced by entropy itself.

Axiom 7 — Integrity of Participation

The observer is an active participant in the universe’s dynamics, but only as an integral subsystem of entropy. Their role is not privileged but consistent with the universal entropic law.
