Quantum Foam, Gravitational Thermodynamics, and the Dark Sector

Y. Jack Ng

We use two simple independent gedankan experiments to show that the holographic principle can be understood intuitively as having its origin in the quantum fluctuations of spacetim…

Holographic Theory of Gravity and Cosmology

Y. Jack Ng

According to the holographic principle, the maximum amount of information stored in a region of space scales as the area of its two-dimensional surface, like a hologram. We show th…

Towards a holographic theory of cosmology -- threads in a tapestry

Y. Jack Ng

In this Essay we address several fundamental issues in cosmology: What is the nature of dark energy and dark matter? Why is the dark sector so different from ordinary matter? Why i…

Dark Matter, Infinite Statistics and Quantum Gravity

Chiu Man Ho, Djordje Minic, Y. Jack Ng

We elaborate on our proposal regarding a connection between global physics and local galactic dynamics via quantum gravity. This proposal calls for the concept of MONDian dark matt…

Quantum Gravity and Turbulence

Vishnu Jejjala, Djordje Minic, Y. Jack Ng +1

We apply recent advances in quantum gravity to the problem of turbulence. Adopting the AdS/CFT approach we propose a string theory of turbulence that explains the Kolmogorov scalin…

String Theory and Turbulence

Vishnu Jejjala, Djordje Minic, Y. Jack Ng +1

We propose a string theory of turbulence that explains the Kolmogorov scaling in 3+1 dimensions and the Kraichnan and Kolmogorov scalings in 2+1 dimensions. This string theory of t…
