The Call of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) for a New Ontological Foundation of Reality in Modern Theoretical Physics
The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), formulated by John Onimisi Obidi and developed extensively in 2025, proposes a paradigm shift where entropy is recognized not merely as a statistical measure of disorder, but as the fundamental, ontological, and continuous physical field (
- Entropy as the Fundamental Field: ToE argues that the universe is not primarily built from geometry (Relativity) or energy (Quantum Mechanics), but from the dynamics of an underlying entropic field.
- Gravity as an Emergent Phenomenon: Gravity is reinterpreted as a consequence of entropy gradients and constraints, rather than a force or a direct result of spacetime curvature.
- The "Why": The theory addresses the limitations of current physics in unifying gravity with quantum mechanics, suggesting that "entropy is the one principle that stands everywhere and behind everything".
- The Obidi Action: This is the variational principle, analogous to the Einstein-Hilbert action, that governs the evolution of the entropic field. It describes how the universe minimizes or maximizes its entropy flow, dictating the structure of physical laws.
- Entropy-Driven Relativity: ToE derives relativistic effects (mass increase, time dilation, and length contraction) as natural consequences of entropic resistance (ERP) and conservation laws, moving beyond Einstein’s postulate-driven approach.
- The Arrow of Time: Time itself is viewed as the "irreversible flux of entropy".
- Einstein's Legacy: The theory draws inspiration from a remark attributed to Albert Einstein, noting that the Second Law of Thermodynamics (entropy) is the only law that shall never be overthrown.
- Unification Goal: ToE attempts to bridge information geometry (Amari–Čencov α-connection), thermodynamics, and general relativity into a single, cohesive framework.
