Birth of Spacetime: The Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) Theory, Part One - A Universal Informational Framework for Mass, Gravity and Entropy

Abstract: For over a century, physics has been divided between General Relativity, which describes gravity as spacetime curvature, and Quantum Mechanics, which governs subatomic probabilities. Despite their success, these frameworks remain fundamentally disconnected. The Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) introduces a new paradigm that bridges these gaps, proposing that spacetime, mass, and gravity are not fundamental properties but emergent effects arising from structured quantum information. Building on principles such as the Holographic Principle, black hole thermodynamics, and quantum information theory, F-HUB links entropy growth, mass-energy interactions, and the informational structure of reality in a cohesive framework. By reinterpreting mass as an emergent property of energy stabilised by quantum information, and gravity as an entropic effect rather than a fundamental force, F-HUB challenges the need for dark matter and dark energy. The master equation derived in this theory is dimensionally consistent and testable, offering pathways for experimental verification. This work redefines foundational physics through an informational framework, offering a unified approach that aligns with the latest research in QM, thermodynamics, and relativity.

1. Introduction

“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” — Genesis 1:3 (NIV)

But before there was light, there had to be mass.

Before there was mass, there had to be structure.

And before structure could exist, there had to be information.

For over a century, modern physics has been dominated by two foundational theories. General Relativity (GR) describes gravity

as the curvature of spacetime [1], while Quantum Mechanics (QM) governs the probabilistic interactions of subatomic particles

[2]. Each has been confirmed through precise experiments. Yet, these two frameworks remain fundamentally incompatible—

unable to unify into a single, coherent model of reality [3].

This disconnection raises deep and unresolved questions:

• Is spacetime truly fundamental?

• Is mass an intrinsic property, or does it emerge from deeper principles?

• What role does information play in the architecture of reality?

1.1 The Challenge of Unification

GR and QM operate in separate domains: GR governs the macroscopic, cosmic scale, while QM governs the microscopic quantum world. However, attempts to unify them have repeatedly fallen short. The Standard Model explains how particles acquire mass via the Higgs mechanism [4], yet it does not naturally incorporate gravity. Conversely, approaches such as String Theory [5]

and Loop Quantum Gravity [6] introduce speculative dimensions or quantised spacetime, but these lack empirical support.

F-HUB responds to this challenge by offering a new paradigm.

1.2 The Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge Framework

F-HUB proposes that mass, gravity, entropy, and spacetime are not fundamental properties, but emergent features arising

from structured quantum information. Drawing from:

• The Holographic Principle, which suggests that three-dimensional reality can be encoded on a two-dimensional boundary [6],

• Black Hole Thermodynamics, which treats entropy as a key structural element of spacetime [1, 3],

• And Quantum Information Theory, which reimagines reality as an encoded information system [13],

F-HUB introduces a coherent framework where entropy, mass-energy interactions, and spacetime structure all arise from

information.

The core predictions of F-HUB are:

• Mass emerges from quantum information interacting with the Higgs Field [5];

• Gravity is not a force, but an entropic effect arising from information structuring spacetime [10];

• Entropy is not disorder—it is the fundamental process that configures spacetime [1];

• Spacetime is not a backdrop—it is an emergent construct shaped by quantum informational dynamics [6, 11].

Unlike speculative frameworks that rely on unobservable dimensions or exotic particles, F-HUB stays grounded in known physics—

recasting it through the lens of information.

1.3 Birth Equation

At the heart of F-HUB lies a single, unifying equation that links mass, entropy, gravity, and information:

S = (H' × M × kB × α) / c³

where:

· S = Entropy (Joules per Kelvin, J/K), representing structured spacetime information.

· H’ = Higgs Field Contribution, defined as energy density-like term.

· M = Mass (kg), the emergent effect of structured quantum information.

· = Boltzmann’s Constant (J/K), ensuring thermodynamic consistency.

· α = Unified Scaling Factor (dimensionless), encoding entropy, curvature, and quantum information density.

· c³ = Relativistic Scaling Factor (m³/s³), maintaining compatibility with relativity.

This equation captures the fundamental relationship between quantum information, entropy, and spacetime structure.

1.4 Significance and Contributions

By reinterpreting mass as an informational effect, and gravity as an entropy-driven consequence, F-HUB offers a dimensionally consistent and experimentally testable alternative to the standard cosmological model. It suggests that the expansion of the universe and gravitational dynamics may be explained without invoking dark matter or dark energy [10].

The contributions of this work are threefold:

1. It establishes a mathematical link between information, entropy, and spacetime;

2. It provides a framework that can be tested, simulated, and falsified;

3. It unifies thermodynamics, quantum theory, and relativity under a single informational paradigm.
