Abstract

Modern physics is supported by two highly successful frameworks: general rela tivity for gravity and large-scale spacetime, and quantum field theory with the Stan dard Model for microscopic interactions. Unifying these remains a profound challenge, particularly in reconciling classical geometric spacetime with probabilistic, non-local quantum mechanics. The holographic principle, originating from black hole thermody namics and formalized via AdS/CFT duality, offers a revolutionary paradigm: infor mation describing a gravitational bulk spacetime is encoded on its lower-dimensional boundary, described by a non-gravitational conformal field theory. This suggests that perceived three-dimensional space and gravity emerge from boundary quantum infor mation. The Ryu-Takayanagi formula links boundary entanglement entropy to bulk geometry, intertwining quantum entanglement with spacetime. However, applying this to our nearly de Sitter universe faces obstacles, as stan dard holography enforces an “area law” incompatible with potential “volume law” entanglement in real-world scenarios. We propose a density gradient modified gravity theory, introducing a macroscopic, observable holographic spacetime density parameter δ, derived from an extended holographic entropy formula incorporating volume con tributions. This enables a continuous description from compact to sparse spacetimes. Deviations of δ from 1 act as a correction in the Einstein field equations, manifesting as a dynamical effective cosmological constant. This yields two testable macroscopic predictions: a gradient emergent force driven by δ gradients and positive spacetime curvature in low-δ regions. To enable empirical testing, we outline a tabletop experiment using dynamical Casimir effects or optomechanical entanglement as δ-gradient generators, combined with ultra-precise optomechanical and interferometric measurements to detect gradient forces and positive curvature. This provides a pathway to probe quantum gravity effects at laboratory scales.
