Thermal relativity, corrections to black hole entropy, Born's reciprocal relativity theory, and quantum gravity

Starting with a brief description of Born's reciprocal relativity theory (BRRT), based on a maximal proper force, maximal speed of light, and inertial and non-inertial observers, we derive the exact thermal relativistic corrections to the Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, and Kerr-Newman black hole entropies and provide a detailed analysis of the many novel applications and consequences to the physics of black holes, quantum gravity, minimal area, minimal mass, Yang-Mills mass gap, information paradox, arrow of time, dark matter, and dark energy. We finish by outlining our proposal towards a space-time-matter unification program where matter can be converted into spacetime quanta and vice versa. (author)
