The FELDT-HIGGS Universal Bridge (F-HUB) - Part One: The Birth of Spacetime - An Informational Framework for Mass, Gravity, and Entropy

“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” — Genesis 1:3 (New International Version)But before there was light, there had to be mass.And before there was mass, there had to be structure.And before there was structure, there had to be information.For over a century, physics has been governed by two seemingly irreconcilable frameworks: General Relativity, which describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime (Einstein, 1915), and Quantum Mechanics, which governs the probabilistic nature of subatomic interactions (Heisenberg, 1927). While both theories have been experimentally validated with extraordinary precision, they remain fundamentally disconnected—unable to unify into a single coherent model (Witten, 1998).This paper introduces the Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB), a framework that proposes mass, gravity, entropy, and spacetime itself are not fundamental properties but emergent phenomena of structured quantum information. Inspired by the Holographic Principle (Susskind, 1995), black hole thermodynamics (Bekenstein, 1973; Hawking, 1974), and quantum information theory (Wheeler, 1989), FHUB establishes a direct link between mass-energy interactions, entropy growth, and the informational structure of spacetime.At the core of F-HUB lies a mathematically validated and testable equation that predicts:1.Mass is not an intrinsic property but an emergent effect of quantum information interacting with the Higgs Field (Higgs, 1964).2.Gravity is not a fundamental force but a secondary effect arising from entropy and mass-energy structuring spacetime (Penrose, 2014).3.Entropy is not merely disorder—it is the fundamental process that structures spacetime through information flow (Bekenstein, 1973).4.Spacetime itself is not fundamental but an emergent construct shaped by quantum information interactions (Susskind, 1995; t’Hooft, 1993).Unlike previous unification attempts—such as String Theory, which introduces speculative extra dimensions (Witten, 1998), or Loop Quantum Gravity, which assumes a discretised spacetime (Rovelli & Smolin, 1995)—F-HUB does not require new dimensions, undiscovered particles, or unverified forces. Instead, it reveals the informational foundation that underlies all known physics.The F-HUB Master Equation, derived from fundamental principles, is expressed as:S = (H’ · M · k_B · α) / c³where:•S = Entropy (Joules per Kelvin, J/K), representing structured spacetime information•H’ = Higgs Field Contribution (as an energy density-like term)•M = Mass (kg), the emergent effect of structured quantum information.•k_B = Boltzmann’s Constant (J/K), ensuring thermodynamic consistency.•α = Unified Scaling Factor (dimensionless), encoding entropy, curvature, and quantum information density.•c³ = Relativistic Scaling Factor (m³/s³), maintaining compatibility with relativity.This mathematical correction ensures dimensional consistency, strengthening F-HUB’s scientific credibility and reinforcing its thermodynamic foundation.F-HUB is:Mathematically rigorous – dimensionally consistent and logically derived.Experimentally testable – making predictions that can be validated or falsified.Conceptually fundamental – requiring no arbitrary assumptions beyond known physics.By examining Higgs boson behaviour, entropy-information relationships, and spacetime fluctuations, F-HUB presents clear empirical avenues for validation. If correct, F-HUB is not merely an extension of modern physics—it represents a fundamental shift in our understanding of spacetime itself.
