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…
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…
Selected topics in Planck-scale physics
Y. Jack Ng
We review a few topics in Planck-scale physics, with emphasis on possible manifestations in relatively low energy. The selected topics include quantum fluctuations of spacetime, th…
From computation to black holes and space-time foam
Y. Jack Ng
We show that quantum mechanics and general relativity limit the speed of a simple computer (such as a black hole) and its memory space to $\tildeν^2 I^{-1} \lsim t_P^…
