This paper discusses how Einstein's field equations emerge from thermodynamic principles. The author proposes that spacetime's viscosity-to-entropy ratio can be determined using the 600-cell polytope's vertex partition.
This paper discusses how Einstein's field equations emerge from thermodynamic principles. The author proposes that spacetime's viscosity-to-entropy ratio can be determined using the 600-cell polytope's vertex partition. Specifically, 18 active modes serve as momentum carriers while 102 passive modes form the entropy reservoir, yielding a ratio of 3/17 in natural units. The prediction positions spacetime between the quark-gluon plasma and superfluid helium-4 and proposes three independent verification methods involving quasicrystals, cosmology, and gravitational waves.
