Emergence of Cosmic Space and the Generalized Holographic Equipartition

Understand

Recently, a novel idea about our expanding Universe was proposed by T.

• Padmanabhan [arXiv:1206.4916].
• He suggested that the expansion of our Universe can be thought of as the emergence of space as cosmic time progresses.
• The emergence is governed by the basic relation that the increase rate of Hubble volume is linearly determined by the difference between the number of degrees of freedom on the horizon surface and the one in the bulk.
