1 Introduction

The earliest idea about the connection between gravitationand the existence of a fundamental length was proposed in[1] In the last two decades the existence of a minimal lengthis one of the most interesting predictions of some approachesrelated to quantum gravity such as string theory black holephysics and noncommutative geometry [2ndash9] The existenceof a minimal length is considered as a consequence of thestring theory because strings obviously cannot interact atdistances smaller than the string size Furthermore the blackhole physics suggests that the uncertainty relation should bemodified near the Planck energy scale due to the fact that thephotons emitted from the black hole suffer from two majorerrors the first one is the error by Heisenbergrsquos classical anal-ysis and the second one is because the black hole mass variesduring the emission process and the radius of the horizonchanges accordingly [2ndash8] An interesting measure gedankenexperiment was proposed in [10] involving microblack holesat the Planck scale of spacetime which leads to the GUPThisindependent model depends on Heisenbergrsquos principle andSchwarzschild radius Recently it was found that polymer

In a one-dimensional chain as the Ising model whenassuming that every single spin is positioned at a distance119889 apart from the two neighborhoods the macroscopic stateof such a chain is defined by 119889 The entire chain would havevarious configurations so that if 119889 rarr 119897 the chain has muchless configurations than if 119889 ≪ 119897 where 119897 is the chainrsquoslength Statistically the entropy is given by the number ofmicroscopic states 119878 = 119896

Recently Verlinde proposed that the gravity is not a fun-damental force and can be considered as an entropic force[27] The earliest idea about gravity that is regarded as a non-fundamental interaction has been introduced by Sakharov[28ndash31] where the spacetime background is assumed toemerge as a mean field approximation of underlying micro-scopic degrees of freedom Similar behavior is observed inhydrodynamics [32] It is found that the entropy of black holeis related to the horizonrsquos area at the black holersquos horizonwhile the temperature is related to the surface gravity Bothentropy and temperature are assumed to be related to themass of the black hole [33ndash36]Thus the connection betweenthermodynamics and geometry leads to Einsteinrsquos equa-tions of gravitational field from relations connecting heatentropy and temperature [37] Einsteinrsquos equations connectenergy-momentum tensor with space geometry Advocat-ing the gravity as nonfundamental interaction leads to theassumption that gravity would be explained as an entropicforce caused by changes in the information associated withthe positions of material bodies [27] When combining theentropic force with the Unruh temperature the second lawof Newton is obtained But when combining it with the holo-graphic principle and using the equipartition law of energyNewtonrsquos law of gravitation is obtained It was investigated in[38] modification of the entropic force due to corrections tothe area law of entropywhich is derived fromquantum effectsand extra dimensions

Apart from the controversial debate on the origin of grav-ity [39 40] we investigate the impact of GUP on the entropicforce and derive essential quantities including potentialmodification to Newtonrsquos law of gravity

There were some studies for the effect of some versions ofGUPonNewtonrsquos law of gravity in [41ndash44] Also noncommu-tative geometry which is considered as a completely planckscale effect has been studied to derive the modified Newtonrsquoslaw of gravity [45ndash48] All these approaches for studying thePlanck scale effects on the Newtonrsquos law of gravity are basedon the following schememodified theory of gravity rarr mod-ified black hole entropy rarr modified holographic surfaceentropy rarr Newtonrsquos law corrections We followed the samescheme in our paper using the new version of GUP proposedin [49ndash51] and we a got new corrections in our currentwork which are distinct from the previous studiesMoreoverwe compared our results with Randall-Sundrum model ofextra dimension which also predicts the modification ofNewtonrsquos law of gravity at the Planck scale [52 53] wherewe think there may be some connection between generalizeduncertainty principle and extra dimension theories becausethey predict similar physics at least for the case of Newtonrsquoslaw of gravity which may be considered as a distinct resultfrom the previous studies

The present paper is organized as follows Section 2reviews briefly the generalized uncertainty principle that wasproposed in [49ndash51] Section 3 is devoted to review the

entropic force and gravitational interaction [27] The effectof utilizing GUP impact on the entropic force is introducedin Section 4 In Section 5 we estimate the GUP correctionto Newtonrsquos law of gravitation The conclusions are given inSection 6

2 The Generalized Uncertainty Principle

It is conjectured that the standard commutation relations atshort distances would be modified A new form of GUP wasproposed [49ndash51] and found consistent with the doubly spe-cial relativity (DSR) theories the string theory and the blackhole physics It predicts a maximum observable momentumand a minimal measurable length With satisfying Jacobiidentity GUP is found to ensure the relations [119909

tized into fundamental units whichmay be the Planck lengthThe quantization of space has been shown within the contextof loop quantum gravity in [54]

In a series of earlier papers the effects of GUP wereinvestigated on atomic condensed matter preheating phaseof the universe systems black holes at LHC [55ndash58] theweak equivalence principle (WEP) and the Liouville theorem(LT) in statistical mechanics [59] It was found that theGUP can potentially explain the small observed violationsof the WEP in neutron interferometry experiments [60ndash62]and also predicts a modified invariant phase space which isrelevant to the Liouville theorem It was derived in [55] thefirst bound for 120572

bound means that 120572 sim 10minus9 GeVminus1 As discussed in [63]the exact bound on 120572 can be obtained by comparison withobservations and experiments It seems that the gamma raysburst would allow us to set an upper value for the GUP-charactering parameter 120572 which we would like to report onin the future

Recently it has been suggested in [64] that the GUPimplications can bemeasured directly in quantum optics lab-oratories which definitely confirm the theoretical predictions

given in [19 55] Definitely this is considered as a milestonein the road of quantum gravity phenomenology

In Section 3 we briefly review the assumptions that thegravitational force would originate from an entropic nature

3 Gravity as an Entropic Force

Recently Verlinde [27] has utilized Sakharovrsquos proposal [28ndash31] that the gravity would not be considered a fundamentalforce Concretely it was suggested that the gravitationalforce might originate from an entropic nature As discussedin the introduction this assumption is based on the rela-tion between the gravitation and thermodynamics [33ndash36]According to thermodynamics and holographic principleVerlindersquos approach results in Newtonrsquos law Moreover theFriedmann equations can also be derived [65] At tempera-ture 119879 the entropic force 119865 of a gravitational system is givenas

119865Δ119909 = 119879Δ119878 (3)

where Δ119878 is the change in the entropy so that at a displace-ment Δ119909 each particle carries its own portion of entropychange From the correspondence between the entropychangeΔ119878 and the information about the boundary of the sys-tem and using Bekensteinrsquos argument [33ndash36] it is assumedthat Δ119878 = 2120587119896

119861 where Δ119909 = ℎ119898 and 119896

119861is the Boltzmann

constant

Δ119878 = 2120587119896119861

119898119888

ℎΔ119909 (4)

where 119898 is the mass of the elementary component 119888 is thespeed of light and ℎ is the Planck constant respectively

Turning to the holographic principle which assumes thatfor any closed surface without worrying about its geometryinside all physics can be represented by the degrees offreedom on this surface itself This implies that the quantumgravity can be described by a topological quantum fieldtheory for which all physical degrees of freedom can beprojected onto the boundary [66]The information about theholographic system is given by 119873 bits forming an ideal gasIt is conjectured that 119873 is proportional to the entropy of theholographic screen

119873 =4119878

119896119861

(5)

then according to Bekensteinrsquos entropy-area relation [33ndash36]

119878 =1198961198611198883

4119866ℎ119860 (6)

Therefore one gets

119873 =1198601198883

119866ℎ=412058711990321198883

119866ℎ (7)

where 119903 is the radius of the gravitational systemand the area ofthe holographic screen 119860 = 41205871199032 is implemented in derivingthis equation It is assumed that each bit emerges outwards

from the holographic screen that is one dimension There-fore each bit carries an energy equal to 119896

1198611198792 so by using the

equipartition rule to calculate the energy of the system onegets

119864 =1

2119873119896119861119879 =

212058711988831199032

119866ℎ119896119861119879 = 119872119888

2 (8)

By substituting (3) and (4) into (8) we get

119865 = 119866119872119898

1199032 (9)

making it clear thatNewtonrsquos law of gravitation can be derivedfrom first principles

In Section 4 we study the effect of GUP approach on theentropic force and hence on the Newtonrsquos law of gravitation

4 GUP Impact on theBlack Hole Thermodynamics

Taking into consideration the GUP approach [49ndash51] andbecause black holes are considered as good laboratories forthe clear connection between thermodynamics and gravitythe black hole thermodynamics will be analyzed in thissection Furthermore how the entropy would be affected willbe investigated as well In Hawkingrsquos radiation the emittedparticles are mostly photons and standard model (SM)particles From kinetic theory of gases let us assume thatgatherings or clouds of points in the velocity space are equallyspread in all directions There is no reason that particleswould prefer to be moving in a certain direction Then thethree moments are simply equal

In order to find a relation between ⟨1199012⟩ and Δ1199012 we assumethat the black hole behaves like a black body while it emitsphotons Therefore from Wienrsquos law the temperature corre-sponding to the peak emission is given by

119888 ⟨119901⟩ = 282119879119867 (12)

We should keep in mind that the numerical factor 282should be modified by the grey-body factors which arise dueto the spacetime curvature around the black hole but forsimplicity we are just ignoring this modification

FromHawkingrsquos uncertainty proposed by Scardigli in [14]and Adler et al [67] Hawkingrsquos temperature reads

119879119867=1

120587119888Δ119901 =

With the relation ⟨1199012⟩ = Δ1199012 + ⟨119901⟩2 we get

⟨119901⟩ = 2821

where 120583 = (282120587)2 Again the parameter 120583 is modifiedif we consider the grey-body factors which arise due to thespacetime curvature around the black hole

Although it was found in [73] that the power-law cor-rections to Bekenstein-Hawking area entropy are ruled outbased on arguments from the Boltzmann-Einstein formulait was found that the power-law corrections may explain theobserved cosmic acceleration today [74]

We conclude that the entropy is directly related to thearea and gets a correction when applying GUP approachThetemperature of the black hole is

6 Conclusions

In this paper we tackle the consequences of the quantumgravity on the entropic force approach which assumes a neworigin of the gravitational force We found that the quantumgravity corrections lead to a modification in the area law ofthe entropy which leads to a modification in the numberof bits 119873 According to Verlindersquos theory of entropic forceNewtonrsquos law of gravitation would acquire new quantumgravity corrections due to the modified number of bits Themodification in Newtonrsquos Law of gravitation surprisinglyagrees with the corrections predicted by Randall-Sundrum IImodel with different sign This would open a new naturallyarising question in our proposed research if the GUP andextra dimensions theories would predict the same physicsWe hope to report on this in the future

phenomenologicalmechanism deriving a system to approachmaximum entropy that is increasing the number of micro-scopic states that will be inhered in the systemrsquos phase spaceThere are various examples on the entropic force for examplepolymer molecules and the elasticity of rubber bands

Recently Verlinde proposed that the gravity is not a fun-damental force and can be considered as an entropic force[27] The earliest idea about gravity that is regarded as a non-fundamental interaction has been introduced by Sakharov[28ndash31] where the spacetime background is assumed toemerge as a mean field approximation of underlying micro-scopic degrees of freedom Similar behavior is observed inhydrodynamics [32] It is found that the entropy of black holeis related to the horizonrsquos area at the black holersquos horizonwhile the temperature is related to the surface gravity Bothentropy and temperature are assumed to be related to themass of the black hole [33ndash36]Thus the connection betweenthermodynamics and geometry leads to Einsteinrsquos equa-tions of gravitational field from relations connecting heatentropy and temperature [37] Einsteinrsquos equations connectenergy-momentum tensor with space geometry Advocat-ing the gravity as nonfundamental interaction leads to theassumption that gravity would be explained as an entropicforce caused by changes in the information associated withthe positions of material bodies [27] When combining theentropic force with the Unruh temperature the second lawof Newton is obtained But when combining it with the holo-graphic principle and using the equipartition law of energyNewtonrsquos law of gravitation is obtained It was investigated in[38] modification of the entropic force due to corrections tothe area law of entropywhich is derived fromquantum effectsand extra dimensions

Apart from the controversial debate on the origin of grav-ity [39 40] we investigate the impact of GUP on the entropicforce and derive essential quantities including potentialmodification to Newtonrsquos law of gravity

There were some studies for the effect of some versions ofGUPonNewtonrsquos law of gravity in [41ndash44] Also noncommu-tative geometry which is considered as a completely planckscale effect has been studied to derive the modified Newtonrsquoslaw of gravity [45ndash48] All these approaches for studying thePlanck scale effects on the Newtonrsquos law of gravity are basedon the following schememodified theory of gravity rarr mod-ified black hole entropy rarr modified holographic surfaceentropy rarr Newtonrsquos law corrections We followed the samescheme in our paper using the new version of GUP proposedin [49ndash51] and we a got new corrections in our currentwork which are distinct from the previous studiesMoreoverwe compared our results with Randall-Sundrum model ofextra dimension which also predicts the modification ofNewtonrsquos law of gravity at the Planck scale [52 53] wherewe think there may be some connection between generalizeduncertainty principle and extra dimension theories becausethey predict similar physics at least for the case of Newtonrsquoslaw of gravity which may be considered as a distinct resultfrom the previous studies

The present paper is organized as follows Section 2reviews briefly the generalized uncertainty principle that wasproposed in [49ndash51] Section 3 is devoted to review the

entropic force and gravitational interaction [27] The effectof utilizing GUP impact on the entropic force is introducedin Section 4 In Section 5 we estimate the GUP correctionto Newtonrsquos law of gravitation The conclusions are given inSection 6

2 The Generalized Uncertainty Principle

It is conjectured that the standard commutation relations atshort distances would be modified A new form of GUP wasproposed [49ndash51] and found consistent with the doubly spe-cial relativity (DSR) theories the string theory and the blackhole physics It predicts a maximum observable momentumand a minimal measurable length With satisfying Jacobiidentity GUP is found to ensure the relations [119909

and the variable 1199010is the value of the momentum at the low

energy scalesThis newly proposedGUP suggests that the space is quan-

tized into fundamental units whichmay be the Planck lengthThe quantization of space has been shown within the contextof loop quantum gravity in [54]

In a series of earlier papers the effects of GUP wereinvestigated on atomic condensed matter preheating phaseof the universe systems black holes at LHC [55ndash58] theweak equivalence principle (WEP) and the Liouville theorem(LT) in statistical mechanics [59] It was found that theGUP can potentially explain the small observed violationsof the WEP in neutron interferometry experiments [60ndash62]and also predicts a modified invariant phase space which isrelevant to the Liouville theorem It was derived in [55] thefirst bound for 120572

0is about sim1017 which would approximately

gives 120572 sim 10minus2 GeVminus1 The other bound of 1205720is sim1010 This

bound means that 120572 sim 10minus9 GeVminus1 As discussed in [63]the exact bound on 120572 can be obtained by comparison withobservations and experiments It seems that the gamma raysburst would allow us to set an upper value for the GUP-charactering parameter 120572 which we would like to report onin the future

Recently it has been suggested in [64] that the GUPimplications can bemeasured directly in quantum optics lab-oratories which definitely confirm the theoretical predictions

given in [19 55] Definitely this is considered as a milestonein the road of quantum gravity phenomenology

In Section 3 we briefly review the assumptions that thegravitational force would originate from an entropic nature

3 Gravity as an Entropic Force

Recently Verlinde [27] has utilized Sakharovrsquos proposal [28ndash31] that the gravity would not be considered a fundamentalforce Concretely it was suggested that the gravitationalforce might originate from an entropic nature As discussedin the introduction this assumption is based on the rela-tion between the gravitation and thermodynamics [33ndash36]According to thermodynamics and holographic principleVerlindersquos approach results in Newtonrsquos law Moreover theFriedmann equations can also be derived [65] At tempera-ture 119879 the entropic force 119865 of a gravitational system is givenas

119865Δ119909 = 119879Δ119878 (3)

where Δ119878 is the change in the entropy so that at a displace-ment Δ119909 each particle carries its own portion of entropychange From the correspondence between the entropychangeΔ119878 and the information about the boundary of the sys-tem and using Bekensteinrsquos argument [33ndash36] it is assumedthat Δ119878 = 2120587119896

119861 where Δ119909 = ℎ119898 and 119896

119861is the Boltzmann

constant

Δ119878 = 2120587119896119861

119898119888

ℎΔ119909 (4)

where 119898 is the mass of the elementary component 119888 is thespeed of light and ℎ is the Planck constant respectively

Turning to the holographic principle which assumes thatfor any closed surface without worrying about its geometryinside all physics can be represented by the degrees offreedom on this surface itself This implies that the quantumgravity can be described by a topological quantum fieldtheory for which all physical degrees of freedom can beprojected onto the boundary [66]The information about theholographic system is given by 119873 bits forming an ideal gasIt is conjectured that 119873 is proportional to the entropy of theholographic screen

119873 =4119878

119896119861

(5)

then according to Bekensteinrsquos entropy-area relation [33ndash36]

119878 =1198961198611198883

4119866ℎ119860 (6)

where 119903 is the radius of the gravitational systemand the area ofthe holographic screen 119860 = 41205871199032 is implemented in derivingthis equation It is assumed that each bit emerges outwards

from the holographic screen that is one dimension There-fore each bit carries an energy equal to 119896

making it clear thatNewtonrsquos law of gravitation can be derivedfrom first principles

In Section 4 we study the effect of GUP approach on theentropic force and hence on the Newtonrsquos law of gravitation

4 GUP Impact on theBlack Hole Thermodynamics

Taking into consideration the GUP approach [49ndash51] andbecause black holes are considered as good laboratories forthe clear connection between thermodynamics and gravitythe black hole thermodynamics will be analyzed in thissection Furthermore how the entropy would be affected willbe investigated as well In Hawkingrsquos radiation the emittedparticles are mostly photons and standard model (SM)particles From kinetic theory of gases let us assume thatgatherings or clouds of points in the velocity space are equallyspread in all directions There is no reason that particleswould prefer to be moving in a certain direction Then thethree moments are simply equal

In order to find a relation between ⟨1199012⟩ and Δ1199012 we assumethat the black hole behaves like a black body while it emitsphotons Therefore from Wienrsquos law the temperature corre-sponding to the peak emission is given by

119888 ⟨119901⟩ = 282119879119867 (12)

We should keep in mind that the numerical factor 282should be modified by the grey-body factors which arise dueto the spacetime curvature around the black hole but forsimplicity we are just ignoring this modification

FromHawkingrsquos uncertainty proposed by Scardigli in [14]and Adler et al [67] Hawkingrsquos temperature reads

With the relation ⟨1199012⟩ = Δ1199012 + ⟨119901⟩2 we get

⟨119901⟩ = 2821

Although it was found in [73] that the power-law cor-rections to Bekenstein-Hawking area entropy are ruled outbased on arguments from the Boltzmann-Einstein formulait was found that the power-law corrections may explain theobserved cosmic acceleration today [74]

We conclude that the entropy is directly related to thearea and gets a correction when applying GUP approachThetemperature of the black hole is

5 Modified Newtonrsquos Law ofGravitation due to GUP

In this section we study the implications of the correctionscalculated for the entropy in (28) and calculate how thenumber of bits of (5) would be modified which assume newcorrections to Newtonrsquos law of gravitation Using the cor-rected entropy given in (28) we find that the number of bitsshould also be corrected as follows

It is apparent that (31) implies a modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravitation

This equation states that the modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravity seems to agree with the predictions of Randall-Sundrum II model [52] which contains one uncompactifiedextra dimension and length scale Λ

119877 The only difference is

where 119903 and Λ119877are the radius and the characteristic length

scale respectively It is clear that the gravitational potentialis modified at short distance We notice that our result (32)agrees with different sign with (33) when 119903 ≪ Λ

119877 This result

would say that 120572 sim Λ119877which would help set a new upper

bound on the value of the parameter 120572 This means that theproposed GUP approach [49 51] is apparently able to predictthe same physics as Randall-Sundrum II model The latterassumes the existence of one extra dimension compactifiedon a circle whose upper and lower halves are identified Ifthe extra dimensions are accessible only to gravity and notto the standard model field the bound on their size can befixed by an experimental test of Newtonrsquos law of gravitationwhich has only been led down to sim4 millimeter This wasthe result about ten years ago [75] In recent gravitationalexperiments it is found that the Newtonian gravitationalforce the 11199032-law seems to be maintained up to sim013ndash016mm [76 77] However it is unknown whether this lawis violated or not at sub-120583m range Further implications ofthis modifications have been discussed in [78] which couldbe the same for the GUP modification which is calculated inthis paperThis similarity between the GUP implications andextra dimensions implications would assume new bounds onthe GUP parameter 120572 with respect to the extra dimensionlength scale Λ

6 Conclusions

In this paper we tackle the consequences of the quantumgravity on the entropic force approach which assumes a neworigin of the gravitational force We found that the quantumgravity corrections lead to a modification in the area law ofthe entropy which leads to a modification in the numberof bits 119873 According to Verlindersquos theory of entropic forceNewtonrsquos law of gravitation would acquire new quantumgravity corrections due to the modified number of bits Themodification in Newtonrsquos Law of gravitation surprisinglyagrees with the corrections predicted by Randall-Sundrum IImodel with different sign This would open a new naturallyarising question in our proposed research if the GUP andextra dimensions theories would predict the same physicsWe hope to report on this in the future

given in [19 55] Definitely this is considered as a milestonein the road of quantum gravity phenomenology

In Section 3 we briefly review the assumptions that thegravitational force would originate from an entropic nature

3 Gravity as an Entropic Force

Recently Verlinde [27] has utilized Sakharovrsquos proposal [28ndash31] that the gravity would not be considered a fundamentalforce Concretely it was suggested that the gravitationalforce might originate from an entropic nature As discussedin the introduction this assumption is based on the rela-tion between the gravitation and thermodynamics [33ndash36]According to thermodynamics and holographic principleVerlindersquos approach results in Newtonrsquos law Moreover theFriedmann equations can also be derived [65] At tempera-ture 119879 the entropic force 119865 of a gravitational system is givenas

119865Δ119909 = 119879Δ119878 (3)

where Δ119878 is the change in the entropy so that at a displace-ment Δ119909 each particle carries its own portion of entropychange From the correspondence between the entropychangeΔ119878 and the information about the boundary of the sys-tem and using Bekensteinrsquos argument [33ndash36] it is assumedthat Δ119878 = 2120587119896

119861 where Δ119909 = ℎ119898 and 119896

119861is the Boltzmann

constant

Δ119878 = 2120587119896119861

119898119888

ℎΔ119909 (4)

where 119898 is the mass of the elementary component 119888 is thespeed of light and ℎ is the Planck constant respectively

Turning to the holographic principle which assumes thatfor any closed surface without worrying about its geometryinside all physics can be represented by the degrees offreedom on this surface itself This implies that the quantumgravity can be described by a topological quantum fieldtheory for which all physical degrees of freedom can beprojected onto the boundary [66]The information about theholographic system is given by 119873 bits forming an ideal gasIt is conjectured that 119873 is proportional to the entropy of theholographic screen

119873 =4119878

119896119861

(5)

then according to Bekensteinrsquos entropy-area relation [33ndash36]

119878 =1198961198611198883

4119866ℎ119860 (6)

Therefore one gets

119873 =1198601198883

119866ℎ=412058711990321198883

119866ℎ (7)

where 119903 is the radius of the gravitational systemand the area ofthe holographic screen 119860 = 41205871199032 is implemented in derivingthis equation It is assumed that each bit emerges outwards

from the holographic screen that is one dimension There-fore each bit carries an energy equal to 119896

1198611198792 so by using the

equipartition rule to calculate the energy of the system onegets

119864 =1

2119873119896119861119879 =

212058711988831199032

119866ℎ119896119861119879 = 119872119888

2 (8)

By substituting (3) and (4) into (8) we get

119865 = 119866119872119898

1199032 (9)

making it clear thatNewtonrsquos law of gravitation can be derivedfrom first principles

In Section 4 we study the effect of GUP approach on theentropic force and hence on the Newtonrsquos law of gravitation

4 GUP Impact on theBlack Hole Thermodynamics

Taking into consideration the GUP approach [49ndash51] andbecause black holes are considered as good laboratories forthe clear connection between thermodynamics and gravitythe black hole thermodynamics will be analyzed in thissection Furthermore how the entropy would be affected willbe investigated as well In Hawkingrsquos radiation the emittedparticles are mostly photons and standard model (SM)particles From kinetic theory of gases let us assume thatgatherings or clouds of points in the velocity space are equallyspread in all directions There is no reason that particleswould prefer to be moving in a certain direction Then thethree moments are simply equal

(11)

In order to find a relation between ⟨1199012⟩ and Δ1199012 we assumethat the black hole behaves like a black body while it emitsphotons Therefore from Wienrsquos law the temperature corre-sponding to the peak emission is given by

119888 ⟨119901⟩ = 282119879119867 (12)

We should keep in mind that the numerical factor 282should be modified by the grey-body factors which arise dueto the spacetime curvature around the black hole but forsimplicity we are just ignoring this modification

FromHawkingrsquos uncertainty proposed by Scardigli in [14]and Adler et al [67] Hawkingrsquos temperature reads

119879119867=1

120587119888Δ119901 =

282119888 ⟨119901⟩ (13)

With the relation ⟨1199012⟩ = Δ1199012 + ⟨119901⟩2 we get

⟨119901⟩ = 2821

120587Δ119901 = radic120583Δ119901

(14)

where 120583 = (282120587)2 Again the parameter 120583 is modifiedif we consider the grey-body factors which arise due to thespacetime curvature around the black hole

In order to have a corresponding inequality for (1) we canutilize the arguments given in [68 69] Then

It is apparent that implementing the arguments given in (11)and (14) in the inequality given in (15) leads to

Because the energy change reads Δ119864 asymp 119888Δ119901 and accord-ing to Scardigli in [14] and Adler et al [67] one can define theuncertainty in the energyΔ119864 as the energy carried away fromthe black hole through the emitted photon In the followingwe implement the procedure introduced in [70 71]Weutilizethe GUP approach [49ndash51] together with the assumptionsgiven in (11) and (14)Then using natural units that ℎ = 119888 = 1

where parameter 120582 will be fixed later According to [33ndash36] the black holersquos entropy is conjectured to depend onthe horizonrsquos area From the information theory [72] it hasbeen found that the minimal increase of entropy should beindependent of the area It is just one ldquobitrdquo of informationwhich is 119887 = ln(2)

where 119887 is a parameter By expanding the last expression inorders of 120572 and then integrating it we get the entropy

Although it was found in [73] that the power-law cor-rections to Bekenstein-Hawking area entropy are ruled outbased on arguments from the Boltzmann-Einstein formulait was found that the power-law corrections may explain theobserved cosmic acceleration today [74]

We conclude that the entropy is directly related to thearea and gets a correction when applying GUP approachThetemperature of the black hole is

5 Modified Newtonrsquos Law ofGravitation due to GUP

In this section we study the implications of the correctionscalculated for the entropy in (28) and calculate how thenumber of bits of (5) would be modified which assume newcorrections to Newtonrsquos law of gravitation Using the cor-rected entropy given in (28) we find that the number of bitsshould also be corrected as follows

By substituting (30) into (8) and using (3) we get

119864 = 1198651198882(1199032

119898119866+120572radic120583119903

3119898119866) (31)

It is apparent that (31) implies a modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravitation

This equation states that the modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravity seems to agree with the predictions of Randall-Sundrum II model [52] which contains one uncompactifiedextra dimension and length scale Λ

119877 The only difference is

the signThemodification in Newtonrsquos gravitational potentialon brane [53] is given as

where 119903 and Λ119877are the radius and the characteristic length

scale respectively It is clear that the gravitational potentialis modified at short distance We notice that our result (32)agrees with different sign with (33) when 119903 ≪ Λ

119877 This result

would say that 120572 sim Λ119877which would help set a new upper

bound on the value of the parameter 120572 This means that theproposed GUP approach [49 51] is apparently able to predictthe same physics as Randall-Sundrum II model The latterassumes the existence of one extra dimension compactifiedon a circle whose upper and lower halves are identified Ifthe extra dimensions are accessible only to gravity and notto the standard model field the bound on their size can befixed by an experimental test of Newtonrsquos law of gravitationwhich has only been led down to sim4 millimeter This wasthe result about ten years ago [75] In recent gravitationalexperiments it is found that the Newtonian gravitationalforce the 11199032-law seems to be maintained up to sim013ndash016mm [76 77] However it is unknown whether this lawis violated or not at sub-120583m range Further implications ofthis modifications have been discussed in [78] which couldbe the same for the GUP modification which is calculated inthis paperThis similarity between the GUP implications andextra dimensions implications would assume new bounds onthe GUP parameter 120572 with respect to the extra dimensionlength scale Λ

6 Conclusions

In this paper we tackle the consequences of the quantumgravity on the entropic force approach which assumes a neworigin of the gravitational force We found that the quantumgravity corrections lead to a modification in the area law ofthe entropy which leads to a modification in the numberof bits 119873 According to Verlindersquos theory of entropic forceNewtonrsquos law of gravitation would acquire new quantumgravity corrections due to the modified number of bits Themodification in Newtonrsquos Law of gravitation surprisinglyagrees with the corrections predicted by Randall-Sundrum IImodel with different sign This would open a new naturallyarising question in our proposed research if the GUP andextra dimensions theories would predict the same physicsWe hope to report on this in the future

With the relation ⟨1199012⟩ = Δ1199012 + ⟨119901⟩2 we get

where 120583 = (282120587)2 Again the parameter 120583 is modifiedif we consider the grey-body factors which arise due to thespacetime curvature around the black hole

In order to have a corresponding inequality for (1) we canutilize the arguments given in [68 69] Then

Because the energy change reads Δ119864 asymp 119888Δ119901 and accord-ing to Scardigli in [14] and Adler et al [67] one can define theuncertainty in the energyΔ119864 as the energy carried away fromthe black hole through the emitted photon In the followingwe implement the procedure introduced in [70 71]Weutilizethe GUP approach [49ndash51] together with the assumptionsgiven in (11) and (14)Then using natural units that ℎ = 119888 = 1

where parameter 120582 will be fixed later According to [33ndash36] the black holersquos entropy is conjectured to depend onthe horizonrsquos area From the information theory [72] it hasbeen found that the minimal increase of entropy should beindependent of the area It is just one ldquobitrdquo of informationwhich is 119887 = ln(2)

where 119887 is a parameter By expanding the last expression inorders of 120572 and then integrating it we get the entropy

Although it was found in [73] that the power-law cor-rections to Bekenstein-Hawking area entropy are ruled outbased on arguments from the Boltzmann-Einstein formulait was found that the power-law corrections may explain theobserved cosmic acceleration today [74]

We conclude that the entropy is directly related to thearea and gets a correction when applying GUP approachThetemperature of the black hole is

5 Modified Newtonrsquos Law ofGravitation due to GUP

In this section we study the implications of the correctionscalculated for the entropy in (28) and calculate how thenumber of bits of (5) would be modified which assume newcorrections to Newtonrsquos law of gravitation Using the cor-rected entropy given in (28) we find that the number of bitsshould also be corrected as follows

By substituting (30) into (8) and using (3) we get

119864 = 1198651198882(1199032

119898119866+120572radic120583119903

It is apparent that (31) implies a modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravitation

This equation states that the modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravity seems to agree with the predictions of Randall-Sundrum II model [52] which contains one uncompactifiedextra dimension and length scale Λ

119877 The only difference is

the signThemodification in Newtonrsquos gravitational potentialon brane [53] is given as

(33)

where 119903 and Λ119877are the radius and the characteristic length

scale respectively It is clear that the gravitational potentialis modified at short distance We notice that our result (32)agrees with different sign with (33) when 119903 ≪ Λ

119877 This result

would say that 120572 sim Λ119877which would help set a new upper

bound on the value of the parameter 120572 This means that theproposed GUP approach [49 51] is apparently able to predictthe same physics as Randall-Sundrum II model The latterassumes the existence of one extra dimension compactifiedon a circle whose upper and lower halves are identified Ifthe extra dimensions are accessible only to gravity and notto the standard model field the bound on their size can befixed by an experimental test of Newtonrsquos law of gravitationwhich has only been led down to sim4 millimeter This wasthe result about ten years ago [75] In recent gravitationalexperiments it is found that the Newtonian gravitationalforce the 11199032-law seems to be maintained up to sim013ndash016mm [76 77] However it is unknown whether this lawis violated or not at sub-120583m range Further implications ofthis modifications have been discussed in [78] which couldbe the same for the GUP modification which is calculated inthis paperThis similarity between the GUP implications andextra dimensions implications would assume new bounds onthe GUP parameter 120572 with respect to the extra dimensionlength scale Λ

6 Conclusions

In this paper we tackle the consequences of the quantumgravity on the entropic force approach which assumes a neworigin of the gravitational force We found that the quantumgravity corrections lead to a modification in the area law ofthe entropy which leads to a modification in the numberof bits 119873 According to Verlindersquos theory of entropic forceNewtonrsquos law of gravitation would acquire new quantumgravity corrections due to the modified number of bits Themodification in Newtonrsquos Law of gravitation surprisinglyagrees with the corrections predicted by Randall-Sundrum IImodel with different sign This would open a new naturallyarising question in our proposed research if the GUP andextra dimensions theories would predict the same physicsWe hope to report on this in the future

5 Modified Newtonrsquos Law ofGravitation due to GUP

In this section we study the implications of the correctionscalculated for the entropy in (28) and calculate how thenumber of bits of (5) would be modified which assume newcorrections to Newtonrsquos law of gravitation Using the cor-rected entropy given in (28) we find that the number of bitsshould also be corrected as follows

By substituting (30) into (8) and using (3) we get

119864 = 1198651198882(1199032

119898119866+120572radic120583119903

It is apparent that (31) implies a modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravitation

This equation states that the modification in Newtonrsquos lawof gravity seems to agree with the predictions of Randall-Sundrum II model [52] which contains one uncompactifiedextra dimension and length scale Λ

119877 The only difference is

the signThemodification in Newtonrsquos gravitational potentialon brane [53] is given as

where 119903 and Λ119877are the radius and the characteristic length

scale respectively It is clear that the gravitational potentialis modified at short distance We notice that our result (32)agrees with different sign with (33) when 119903 ≪ Λ

119877 This result

would say that 120572 sim Λ119877which would help set a new upper

bound on the value of the parameter 120572 This means that theproposed GUP approach [49 51] is apparently able to predictthe same physics as Randall-Sundrum II model The latterassumes the existence of one extra dimension compactifiedon a circle whose upper and lower halves are identified Ifthe extra dimensions are accessible only to gravity and notto the standard model field the bound on their size can befixed by an experimental test of Newtonrsquos law of gravitationwhich has only been led down to sim4 millimeter This wasthe result about ten years ago [75] In recent gravitationalexperiments it is found that the Newtonian gravitationalforce the 11199032-law seems to be maintained up to sim013ndash016mm [76 77] However it is unknown whether this lawis violated or not at sub-120583m range Further implications ofthis modifications have been discussed in [78] which couldbe the same for the GUP modification which is calculated inthis paperThis similarity between the GUP implications andextra dimensions implications would assume new bounds onthe GUP parameter 120572 with respect to the extra dimensionlength scale Λ

6 Conclusions

In this paper we tackle the consequences of the quantumgravity on the entropic force approach which assumes a neworigin of the gravitational force We found that the quantumgravity corrections lead to a modification in the area law ofthe entropy which leads to a modification in the numberof bits 119873 According to Verlindersquos theory of entropic forceNewtonrsquos law of gravitation would acquire new quantumgravity corrections due to the modified number of bits Themodification in Newtonrsquos Law of gravitation surprisinglyagrees with the corrections predicted by Randall-Sundrum IImodel with different sign This would open a new naturallyarising question in our proposed research if the GUP andextra dimensions theories would predict the same physicsWe hope to report on this in the future
