Description
I will give a new description of the relationship of
entropy to gravity. I will show that while gravity is not
entirely entropic in origin it does receive an entropic
correction. I calculate the entropic correction and the
new gravitational constant. I then show that in simple
cases the entropy of the whole spacetime can be
calculated and it turns out to be proportional to an area.
The implications for holography and non-locality are
discussed.
