By combining Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence with entropy-based energy rates, we derive the relation: F = Tvϕ s /c 2 where T is the Hawking temperature, v the information velocity, and ϕs the entropy flux. We argue that black holes, rather than being purely absorptive, exert an entropic “pressure” through the emission of information, implying a subtle but persistent influence on the surrounding space-time fabric. While this idea remains speculative, the entropic force may help explain how black holes interact with the universe and potentially across universes via singularities. We ground this hypothesis in philosophical physics, presenting it as a conceptual framework rather than an empirical model, proposing that singularities serve as junction points in space-time where information is redistributed rather than lost.
