Abstract

The Entropic Force-Field Hypothesis (EFFH) presents a groundbreaking view on entropy, elevating it from a passive thermodynamic quantity to a key driver of physical processes. By introducing logarithmic corrections and the Entropic Time Limit (ETL), the hypothesis aims to bridge the gaps between thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and gravity, potentially leading to a new quantum gravity framework. This paper critically examines the implications of the EFFH, proposes new theoretical extensions, and explores how it could address major unresolved issues in physics, including the black hole information paradox, the nature of Planck-scale rem- nants, and the evolution of entropy in extreme gravitational fields. Various investigations in the literature have sought to employ entropy to prove or re-derive the equations for the Electrostatic Force, the Biot-Savart Law (Magnetic Force), Gauss’s Law, Ampere’s Law, the Maxwell’s Equa- tions, Generalization to the Nuclear Forces, and especially Newton’s law of universal gravitation and Einstein’s Field Equations, thereby demonstrating that they are emergent from entropy. In the hypothesis here explored, which asserts that entropy is a universal field, we do not strictly seek to prove or re-derive any of the above equations; but rather, we aim to generalize that they are all emergent properties and interactions arising from a universal entropic field, and so modify them accordingly, particularly the Einstein Field Equations of General Relativity, in order to extend their domain of applicability, or perhaps replace them altogether if that is the only path we must travel.
