Description
Full Paper (Zenodo):https://zenodo.org/records/18027729Help Needed:I am looking for feedback on the experimental setup.The main engineering challenge is maintaining GHZ coherence long enough to isolate the effect from environmental noise.If you haveHi HN. Standard General Relativity posits that time dilation is caused solely by mass-energy. But what happens when information entropy reaches a critical density?I have released Version 2.0 of my paper, proposing the Information-Induced Time Dilation (ITD) hypothesis.The Hypothesis:I propose that local information entropy (\Delta S_{info}) acts as a "computational load" on the spacetime metric. Just as mass curves spacetime, extreme information density might "lag" the local clock.The Experiment (Strictly Falsifiable):To test this, I designed a differential measurement using Sr-87 optical lattice clocks (Section 6):Compare: A system in a GHZ Entangled State (High Info) vs. a Product State (Low Info). Control: Mass and energy are kept identical. Prediction: If my derivation is correct (\alpha \neq 0), the entangled sector will show a frequency redshift relative to the control group. expertise in quantum metrology, I would deeply appreciate your technical insights.(Optional) Request for ArXiv Endorsement:Endorsement Code: E3Y83D (physics.gen-ph)

Could you build this?
No This is a theoretical and experimental physics research paper requiring quantum mechanics expertise, cryogenic hardware, and quantum coherence equipment.
What it would actually take: Requires specialized quantum physics laboratory apparatus capable of sustaining GHZ-state entanglement and quantum coherence in isolated, noise-shielded environments. It demands deep theoretical physics research and precision measurement hardware to detect microscopic gravitational or informational time-dilation anomalies.
Discussion
16 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: Effect size may be too small for current clock sensitivity to measure, Unclear empirical definition of information relating to observer, Theory relies on LLM for formal derivations, not original work, Wrong community for this type of specialized physics research, No experimental validation yet, only theoretical prediction
