Some Implications of Invariant Model of Boltzmann Statistical Mechanics to Quantum Gravity

ORAL

Abstract

According to an invariant model of Boltzmann statistical mechanics, a factor of 1017 separates the scales of five major statistical fields of tachyon (graviton)-dynamics10-35 m, electrodynamics 10-18 m, hydrodynamics 100 m, astrophysics 1018 m, and galactic-dynamics 1035 m with “atomic” particles, graviton, electron, fluid-element, star, and galaxy [1] that are governed by an invariant Schrödinger equation. The nature of matter/anti-matter is described in terms of compression/rarefaction of physical space or Casimir vacuum identified as a compressible tachyonic fluid [1]. Origin of compressibility factor zc = 3/8 of van der Waals fluid is identified. Spectrum of quantized volume elements of physical space is described in harmony with modern concepts of quantum gravity [2-5]. The model also leads to Everett multiverse at scale (l, λ, L) = (1026, 1035, 1043), and entropy S = 4Nk of black hole with total thermal energy TS [1] in agreement with general relativistic statistical mechanics [4,5].
