Machian Origin of the Entropic Gravity and Cosmic Acceleration

International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We discuss the emergence of relativistic effects in the Machian universe with a global preferred frame and use thermodynamic considerations to clarify the origin of gravity as an entropic force and the origin of dark energy/cosmic acceleration as related to the Hawking-Unruh temperature at the universe’s horizon.
