The universe’s expansion is a complex phenomenon that can be explained through various models, such as the lambda cold dark energy model, which modifies the material part of Einstein’s field equation. These models describe the accelerated expansion of the universe, which is a key aspect of its evolution. However, the study of gravity from a thermodynamic perspective offers a unique and intriguing approach to understanding the universe’s expansion.
Gravity and Thermodynamics
The deep connection between gravity and thermodynamics has been widely accepted since the discovery of black hole thermodynamics. The equivalence between the Clausius relation and the Einstein equation, first proposed by Jocobson in 1995, further strengthens this connection. This relationship suggests that the laws of thermodynamics can be applied to the universe’s expansion, providing a new framework for understanding its dynamics.
