Does Information Density Cause Time Dilation?

Full Paper (Zenodo): https://zenodo.org/records/18027729 Help Needed: I am looking for feedback on the experimental setup. The main engineering challenge is maintaining GHZ coherence long enough to isolate the effect from environmental noise. If you have Hi HN. Standard General Relativity posits that time dilation is caused solely by mass-energy. But what happens when information entropy reaches a critical density? I have released Version 2.0 of my paper, proposing the Information-Induced Time Dilation (ITD) hypothesis. The Hypothesis: I propose that local information…

In plain words

This is an academic research project proposing the Information-Induced Time Dilation hypothesis, which suggests that high information entropy density may cause time dilation alongside mass-energy effects in spacetime. The researcher has published a paper on Zenodo and is seeking feedback on the experimental design, particularly regarding maintaining quantum coherence in Sr-87 optical lattice clocks to measure the proposed effect while filtering out environmental noise. The work targets physicists and quantum researchers interested in theoretical extensions to General Relativity.

    Large Numbers Hypothesis Revisited2021 · ▲64

    I was reviewing Dirac's Large Numbers Hypothesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_large_numbers_hypothesis) and decided to give it a second go, now with measurements of fundamental constants more precise than 100 years ago. And I stumbled upon a value for Hubble's constant that's uncannily close. Here are the full calculations. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1K1qoUFvqZp1fWbpcKJWq63nflgwS0ZHh?usp=sharing Meaningless, or meaningful coincidence?

    Hi HN, I turned the freshly published paper “The Constructor Theory of Time” by David Deutsch and Chiara Marletto (arXiv, 13 May 2025) into an executable Python library. What you’ll find • One-to-one translation of the paper’s formalism: Substrates, Attributes, Tasks, Constructors, and task-algebra operators • Possibility / impossibility predicates and counterfactuals encoded exactly as defined • Test suite that mirrors every lemma and example (>95 % coverage, mypy-typed) • Reproductions of key results: time-keeping substrates, irreversibility proofs, quantum branching tasks, and a…

    Hi HN. I'm Ken, a 20-year-old Stanford CS student. I built Sup AI. I started working on this because no single AI model is right all the time, but their errors don’t strongly correlate. In other words, models often make unique mistakes relative to other models. So I run multiple models in parallel and synthesize the outputs by weighting segments based on confidence. Low entropy in the output token probability distributions correlates with accuracy. High entropy is often where hallucinations begin. My dad Scott (AI Research Scientist at TRI) is my research partner on this. He sends me papers…

    Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
