Gravitational Memory & Cosmological Self-Observation is a scientific community dedicated to exploring the hypothesis that the universe retains and processes information through gravitational structures — particularly black holes — and that this memory plays a key role in cosmic evolution.

The central concept is that of a dynamical scalar field ϕ(t), interpreted as a form of gravitational memory encoding irreversible processes such as entropy growth and black hole formation. This framework invites us to rethink the relationship between local structures and global expansion, and offers a new perspective on dark energy and cosmic acceleration.

This community welcomes contributions that explore:

  • Theoretical models of gravitational memory and entropy accumulation;

  • Observational tests using data from missions like JWST, Planck, Euclid, LIGO/Virgo;

  • Connections between cosmology, quantum gravity, thermodynamics, and the philosophy of information;

  • The role of black holes as informational sensors or pupils of the universe.

By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between physicists, cosmologists, philosophers of science, and information theorists, we aim to build a coherent framework in which the universe’s dynamics emerge from its own gravitational self-observation.

We encourage original contributions, including articles, preprints, simulations, and data, in English or French.
