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

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.

Why F-HUB?

The abbreviation ‘F-HUB’ was chosen not only for it’s simplicity but primarily to honour the Higgs mechanism’s crucial role in mass formation. While Peter Higgs’ groundbreaking discovery explained how particles acquire mass, its deeper implications remain under-explored. F-HUB builds upon the Higgs mechanism, proposing that mass is not a fundamental property but an emergent consequence of structured quantum information interacting with the Higgs Field. This theory does not contradict the Higgs mechanism but rather extends its interpretation—showing that mass, gravity, and entropy are all interconnected in a deeper informational framework.

A New Framework for Spacetime, Mass, and Entropy

F-HUB proposes a groundbreaking theory unifying mass, gravity, entropy, and spacetime through the lens of structured information. By revealing the fundamental role of the Higgs field in shaping reality, F-HUB provides a mathematically consistent, testable framework that challenges and extends modern physics. This paper introduces the core principles, equations, and experimental proposals that position F-HUB as a paradigm-shifting advancement in theoretical physics.

This paper will:

1. Derive the F-HUB equation to demonstrate how mass, gravity, and entropy emerge from quantum

information.

2. Validate the theory mathematically, ensuring dimensional consistency and logical coherence.

3. Propose experimental tests (see Figure 5) to establish that F-HUB is falsifiable and scientifically

rigorous.

If correct, F-HUB will fundamentally change our understanding of reality itself.

This is not an incremental theoretical adjustment.

This is not an extension of existing models.

This is the foundation of a new perspective in physics.

This final version of F-HUB: Birth of Spacetime represents a significant refinement of the theory’s structure, clarity, and testability. It presents a unified informational framework linking mass, gravity, entropy, and spacetime—proposing these are not fundamental quantities, but emergent properties of structured quantum information.

Compared to earlier drafts, this version includes:

• A more polished academic tone and clearer articulation of key arguments.

• A rigorously validated Birth Equation, supported by symbolic computation, dimensional analysis, and six numerical test cases.

• A structured experimental roadmap outlining how various aspects of the theory could be explored through current and future technologies.

• Revised discussions on gravity, entropy, and spacetime, now more accessible and aligned with existing physics literature.

• All diagrams and simulations clearly contextualised within the theory.

The intention of this release is to invite engagement, critique, and collaborative exploration. While F-HUB remains a theoretical proposal, its structure is now suitable for academic discussion, and its predictions are increasingly within reach of testability.
