Abstract
This work explores the interplay between gravity and probability. Specifically, we investigate how the probability distribution of a physical system can become distorted in the presence of a gravitational field. Drawing upon fundamental principles of probability theory, we analyze the modifications introduced by active gravitational influences. Our study leverages key concepts from general relativity, including the Ricci tensor and the energy-momentum tensor, to provide a theoretical framework for understanding this distortion. By proposing a geometric interpretation of probability, this work aims to stimulate new perspectives on the structure and behavior of probabilistic systems.

This article is driven by intellectual courage. "Gravity and Probability" takes a bold step by questioning one of the most fundamental assumptions in physics—that probability is fixed, context-free, and unaffected by the physical world it helps describe. Rohit Dhormare proposes a fresh and daring idea: that probability, like space-time, might bend, shift, and deform under the influence of gravity.
This is not a minor speculation—it's a reimagining of probability as something that lives within the same geometric framework that governs mass, energy, and curvature. The analogy between the Ricci tensor in general relativity and distortions in probabilistic structure is both original and deeply …

This article is driven by intellectual courage. "Gravity and Probability" takes a bold step by questioning one of the most fundamental assumptions in physics—that probability is fixed, context-free, and unaffected by the physical world it helps describe. Rohit Dhormare proposes a fresh and daring idea: that probability, like space-time, might bend, shift, and deform under the influence of gravity.
This is not a minor speculation—it's a reimagining of probability as something that lives within the same geometric framework that governs mass, energy, and curvature. The analogy between the Ricci tensor in general relativity and distortions in probabilistic structure is both original and deeply stimulating. It challenges us to see probability not as a purely mathematical tool but as a dynamic quantity influenced by the universe itself.
This is the kind of conceptual leap that moves science forward—not by solving a problem outright, but by asking a question no one thought to ask.
Suggestions
Give the Mathematical Structure More Shape The idea of a probabilistic manifold is promising, but it needs more clarity. What does the space look like? How is curvature defined there? Introducing a basic metric or geometric structure would help readers grasp how probability is "shaped."
Deepen the Role of the Ricci Tensor Using the Ricci tensor to describe probabilistic deformation is compelling. But what does a "positive curvature" mean for probability? Try to make the physical or statistical meaning clearer—does it correspond to increased likelihood? Concentration of outcomes? Precision in these terms will lift the analogy from poetic to operational.
Provide a Simple Model or Thought Experiment The paper would shine with even a basic example. Imagine a simple system where the probability distribution changes as gravitational curvature increases. This would help the reader see how your framework might apply in a physical scenario.
Clarify What Type of Probability Is Being Described Is this classical probability? Quantum probability? Or something entirely new? Even a short clarification would help readers relate your idea to existing frameworks in physics.
Make Use of Related Fields You are entering a fascinating intersection between geometry, gravity, and information. Consider referencing:
Information geometry (Amari, Nagaoka)
Quantum systems in curved spacetime
Gravitational effects on quantum coherence Connecting your idea to these areas will not limit it—it will strengthen it.
Enrich the Conclusion with Future Possibilities The conclusion should reflect the vision behind your idea. Where could this lead? Could it help us understand black holes, cosmology, or quantum measurement? Even brief hints about potential applications will add depth.
Conclusion
This paper is not just an article—it's an invitation to think differently. It challenges assumptions, crosses boundaries, and opens new ground. The work may be at an early stage, but it carries the energy of discovery. With refinement, clear mathematical definitions, and strong physical examples, this concept could inspire new ways to think about uncertainty in the universe.
Rohit Dhormare has done something rare: introduced an original idea that dares to touch both physics and philosophy. I strongly encourage the author to keep going, to dig deeper, and to keep developing this line of thought. Science always needs thinkers willing to look at the world from a new angle—and this work does exactly that.
