Title: Correspondence of The Principle of Maximum Entropy With other Laws of Physics
1Correspondence of The Principle of Maximum
Entropy With other Laws of Physics
How may the Maximum Entropy Principle be used to
achieve greater understanding of much of Physics
and what can be derived from such a point of view?
- Maximum Proper Time
- Least Action
- Least Time
- Minimum Energy
2In a relativistic universe Atomic Clocks events
appear at differing rates depending on the world
line of the frame of reference
- Its the comparative rates of events that change
in our relativistic universe - For the following discussion I would like to use
the concept of EVENTS to replace TIME - The TIC of the clock is the atomic events
E1,E2,E3
What has been done is to replace the viewpoint of
time with a viewpoint of Events to see what
arises as a result
3Principle of Maximum Proper Time
- A body in motion takes the path in space-time
that maximizes the passage of proper time
according to its own built in WRISTWATCH aka
EVENTS E1,E2. This will maximize the
Entropic Rate - This principle is valid on a differential scale
also - An example is a free falling body that senses
no force Proper time is maximized by this
condition
By treating Proper time as a dimension where
entropy is maximized by virtue of Proper time
being maximum one can attain a new viewpoint and
solve problems
4Contrast Free Fall with static position in
Gravitational Field
- At rest on ground (accelerated) In Free -
Fall - Ent Exponential Distribution Distribution (Ent entropy of operator)
- Spatial entropy is maximized in both depicted
conditions - Its much easier to see why inertial mass
gravitational mass under this viewpoint
5The Principle of Least Action can be derived from
the principle of Maximum Proper time
- Least Action also maximizes the space-time for
events and therefore maximizes entropy so it
appears that max entropy principle extends from
space and time to spacetime - This principle works on the differential scale
also - d ( action ) K.E. -P.E. .this maximizes the
P.E. and therefore the proper time passage is
greatest - F MA can be derived from Least Action
Principle - Feynman derived Schrodingers Wave Equation using
the Principle of Least Action as a starting point
6Schrodingers Equation yields Maximum Entropy
solutions
- This answers a question that I have had for a
long time - Question Why is it valid to use a sinusoidal
waveform when modeling physical systems such as
atoms in a lattice or electrons in an antenna? - Answer For a particle constrained to a given
energy and position over interval - inf , inf
the maximum entropy wave function is gaussian
in the base state - HARMONIC POTENTIAL sinusoidal!!
7Correspondence of Least Energy and Maximum
Entropy on the Micro Scale
- As a particle is confined more its energy goes
up - Since Schrodingers maximizes wavefunction
entropy the energy level is minimized for a given
confinement - This is analogous to a gas in a box
8Principle of Least Time
- A photon knows no time because it travels at the
speed of light. - Emission and absorption appear to occur
simultaneously from the point of view of the
photon - From the Universe around the photon Entropic rate
will be maximized if the light takes the least
time between emission and absorption as measured
by those of us with rest mass that experience
time
9Entropic Theory of Gravitation
- Above newtons law of gravity is derived by
differentiating proper time with respect to
distance and substituting for the Schwarzchild
radius (with a correction factor !) - One can see that the force of gravity on an
object is an entropic pressure in free fall an
object wants to HOP to the most likely next
state and does so - The correction factor shows the force to be
infinite at the event horizon.
10Results
- As a result of this investigation I have been
able to see that the physical bodies experience
some sort of entropic pressure that governs their
motionA modified Newtons theory of gravitation
may be derived - In place of time I substituted a progression of
events in which entropy in its enumeration of
physical states and seems to be much more useful
in some fundamental way - Maximum entropy method applies to space and time
similtaneously
