On Quantum Gravity As A Recorded Quantum Arrow Of Time

I take non-locality to be the Michaelson Morley experiment of the early 21st Century, assume its universal validity, and try to derive its consequences. Spacetime, with its locality, cannot be fundamental, but must somehow be emergent from entangled coherent quantum variables and their behaviors. There are, then, two immediate consequences: i. If we start with non-locality, we need not explain non-locality. We must instead explain an emergence of locality and spacetime. ii. There can be no emergence of spacetime without matter. These propositions flatly contradict General Relativity, which is foundationally local, can be formulated without matter, and in which there is no "emergence" of spacetime.It these be true, then quantum gravity cannot be a minor alteration of General Relativity, but must demand its deep reformulation. This will almost inevitably lead to: Matter not only deforms spacetime, but "creates" spacetime. We will see independent grounds for the assertion that matter both deforms and creates spacetime that may invite a new union of quantum gravity and General Relativity.This quantum creation of spacetime consists in: i. Fully non-local entangled coherent quantum variables. ii. The onset of locality via decoherence. iii. A metric in Hilbert Space among entangled quantum variables by the sub-additive von Neumann Entropy between pairs of variables. iv. Mapping from metric distances in Hilbert Space to metric distances in classical spacetime by episodic actualization events. v. Discrete spacetime is the relations among these discrete actualization events. vi. "Now" is the shared moment of actualization of one among the entangled variables when the amplitudes of the remaining entangled variables change instantaneously. vii. The discrete, successive, episodic, irreversible actualization events constitute a quantum arrow of time. viii. The arrow of time history of these events is recorded in the very structure of the spacetime constructed. ix. Actual Time is a succession of two or more actual events.This quantum creation of spacetime modifies general relativity and may account for Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and the possible elimination of the singularities of General Relativity. Possible experimental tests in both the attractive and repulsive Casimir effect setting are described. A quantum actualization enhancement of repulsive Casimir would be anti-gravitational, and of possible practical use. Relations to Causal Set Theory, faithful Lorentzian manifolds, and past and future light cones joined at ``Actual Now'' are discussed.The ideas and concepts discussed here are not yet a theory, but at most a framework that may be useful.
