Bootstrapped Newtonian gravity was developed with the purpose of estimating the impact of quantum physics in the nonlinear regime of the gravitational interaction, akin to corpuscular models of black holes and inflation. In this work, we set the ground for extending the bootstrapped Newtonian picture to cosmological spaces. We further discuss how such models of quantum cosmology can lead to a natural solution to the cosmological constant problem.

This book represents a New Theory about light which offers an easier way to understand the mathematical principles on which the theory for a Black Hole has been based. The fundamental difference with existing theories is the implementation of the anisotropic property of mass for light within the interaction with gravity. This "New Theory" has been based on the fundamental principle of a perfect Equlibrium in the entire universe in space and in time and unifies Newtonian Physics with Electrodynamics, Quantum Physics and General Relativity.

It has been found recently that the entropy relations of horizons have the universality of black hole mass-independence for many black holes. These universal entropy relations have some geometric and CFT understanding, which may provide further insight into the quantum physics of black holes. In this paper, we present the leading order of black hole entropy sum relations under the quantum corrections. It is found that the modified entropy sum becomes mass-dependent for some black holes in asymptotical (A)dS and flat space–times. We also give an example that the modified entropy sum of regular Bardeen AdS black holes is mass-independent, which may be quantized in the form of the electric charge and the cosmological constant.

I discuss here black holes, extreme astronomical objects that swallow all forms of matter and radiation surrounding them, and leave behind, as physicist John A. Wheeler said, only their ‘gravitational aura’. These endlessly fascinating objects are the gates where gravity meets quantum physics. Since the pioneering work of scientists like S. Hawking, black holes have become ‘theoretical laboratories’ to explore new physics theories. I discuss how the discovery of gravitational waves from black holes, and the first image of a black hole revealed in 2019, have transformed the study of black holes, and may soon lead to new ground-breaking discoveries. The Universe will disappear. Slowly, it will grow dimmer and dimmer, until it disappears completely.

A major question confronting physicists studying black holes was whether thermodynamics applied to them—that is, whether the black holes radiated heat and lost energy. Bekenstein considered heat and thermodynamics important for the interior of black holes. Based on the second law of thermodynamics, Hawking proposed that black holes evaporate over a very long time through what we now call Hawking radiation. This concept contradicts the notion that nothing can escape a black hole event horizon. Quantum physics enters into Hawking’s calculations, and he discovered the conundrum that the radiation would violate quantum mechanics, leading to what is called the information loss problem. These ideas are still controversial, and many physicists have attempted to resolve them, including Russian theorists Zel’dovich and Starobinsky. Alternative quantum physics interpretations of black holes have been proposed that address the thermodynamics problems, including so-called gravastars.

Black hole (BH) collisions produce gravitational radiation which is generally thought, in a quantum limit, to be gravitons. The stretched horizon of a black hole contains quantum information, or a form of quantum hair, which is a coalescence of black holes participating in the generation of gravitons. This may be facilitated with a Bohr-like approach to black hole (BH) quantum physics with quasi-normal mode (QNM) approach to BH quantum mechanics. Quantum gravity and quantum hair on event horizons is excited to higher energy in BH coalescence. The near horizon condition for two BHs right before collision is a deformed A d S spacetime. These excited states of BH quantum hair then relax with the production of gravitons. This is then argued to define RT entropy given by quantum hair on the horizons. These qubits of information from a BH coalescence should then appear in gravitational wave (GW) data.

In the first part of the book, I discuss the discovery of gravitational waves and the birth of multimessenger astronomy. Borrowing the structure of Dante’s Paradise and Inferno, I illustrate the biggest mysteries of modern cosmology and argue that multimessenger astronomy, and in particular gravitational waves, may hold the key to unlock these mysteries, and may thus help a bridge between the realm of gravity, and that of quantum physics. Stars. Black holes. Galaxies. Even the most well-known celestial objects are so removed from our daily experience that we might almost mistake them for abstract entities. Yet they are no less real than the objects that surround you as you read these lines.
