Abstract
The holographic principle states that the information about the volume of space is stored on its boundary. Assuming this holds, we can explain the aspects of gravity. It strongly seems that ”information” is a more fundamental entity than the structure of spacetime as used as basis in almost every gravity theory. In this paper, we present this connection between gravity and information. This naturally explains the four classical tests of gravity namely the gravitational redshift, the perihelion precession, the bending of light and the gravitational time delay. The spacetime need to be extended to 5D to explain gravity in this context. We also show that the second derivative of the radius of a null boundary(with respect to an affine parameter λ along the generator) that encloses matter obeying the null energy condition(NEC) cannot decrease. This can be applied to the event horizon of a black hole.
