String theory
Videos
In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these str

Holographic principle

The holographic principle is a property of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a lower-dime
The illustration demonstrates the way of thinking of the entropic gravity, holographic principle, entropy distribution, and derivation of Einstein General Relativity equations from these considerations. The Einstein equation takes the form of the first law of thermodynamics when Bekenstein and Hawking equations are applied.
