Bridging General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory is a significant aim of Energy-Flow Cosmology.
Energy-Flow Cosmology: A Thermodynamic Bridge Between General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory
For over a century, physics has been divided between two great frameworks:
General Relativity, describing the geometry of spacetime, and
Quantum Field Theory, describing the probabilistic behavior of energy at the smallest scales. Both are incredibly successful — yet they speak completely different languages.
Energy-Flow Cosmology (EFC) proposes that these are not separate realities,
but different phases of the same thermodynamic continuum.
Instead of assuming that spacetime or quantum fields are fundamental,
EFC treats energy flow as the true foundation of nature.
Entropy (S∈[0,1]) becomes the key variable that determines how energy behaves:
- Low entropy (S → 0) → ordered energy flow, continuous geometry — the domain of relativity.
- High entropy (S → 1) → fragmented flow, quantum fluctuations — the realm of field theory.
- Intermediate entropy (S ≈ 0.5) → resonant stability, feedback, and complex organization — the domain of life and cognition.
In this view, the universe is a single non-equilibrium energy-flow field that continuously organizes itself through entropy gradients.
Curvature, particles, and even the conditions for consciousness are emergent expressions of the same underlying process.
This model not only bridges GR and QFT conceptually — it also provides
observable predictions: small entropy-driven variations in the speed of light c(S), galactic rotation without dark matter, and cosmic acceleration as a natural outcome of global entropy drift.
Energy-Flow Cosmology suggests that reality is not a collection of objects evolving in space and time — it is the continuous transformation of energy itself.
The universe does not exist within energy flow;
it is energy flow.

This new preprint formalizes the theory of Energy-Flow Cosmology through a complete set of field equations.
The model defines a normalized entropy field and an energy-flow four-vector as the fundamental variables of spacetime dynamics.
From these equations follow Einstein-like relations with additional stress-energy terms, showing how entropy gradients and energy flow generate curvature.
In the equilibrium limit, the equations reduce exactly to General Relativity, while non-equilibrium conditions produce testable deviations in cosmic expansion, lensing, and galactic rotation dynamics.
