Entropy from the foam
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. We show that the BekensteinHawking entropy is here “quantized” in agreement with the heuristic calculation of Bekenstein.

The Apollonian Decay of Beer Foam Bubble Size Distribution and the Lattices of Young Diagrams and Their Correlated Mixing Functions
We present different methods to characterise the decay of beer foam by measuring the foam heights and recording foam images as a function of time. It turns out that the foam decay does not follow a simple exponential law but a higher-order equation lnV(t) = a− bt− ct2.5, which can be explained as a superposition of two processes, that is, drainage and bubble rearrangement. The reorganisation of...
متن کاملA Spacetime Foam approach to the cosmological constant and entropy
A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. The Casimir-like energy of the quantum fluctuation of such a model and its probability of being realized are computed. Implications on the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the cosmological constant are considered.
متن کاملA Spacetime Foam Approach to the Schwarzschild-de Sitter Entropy
The entropy for a black hole in a de Sitter space is approached within the framework of spacetime foam. A simple model made by N wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination to compute the entropy for such a case. An extension to the extreme case when the black hole and cosmological horizons are equal is discussed.

I introduce the spacetime foam structure by reviewing briefly the ideas of Wheeler, the topological fluctuations and the virtual black holes possibility. The contribution of Jacobson (the equation of state of the foam) is recalled. In the second part, I introduce a model of spacetime foam at the surface of the event horizon of a black hole. I apply these ideas to the calculus of the number of s...
متن کاملSpacetime Foam: From Entropy and Holography to Infinite Statistics and Nonlocality
Due to quantum fluctuations, spacetime is foamy on small scales. The degree of foaminess is found to be consistent with holography, a principle prefigured in the physics of black hole entropy. It has bearing on the ultimate accuracies of clocks and measurements and the physics of quantum computation. Consistent with existing archived data on active galactic nuclei from the Hubble Space Telescop...
