If the information transfer between test particle and holographic screen in entropic gravity respects both the uncertainty principle and causality, a lower limit on the number of bits in the universe relative to its mass may be derived. Furthermore, these limits indicate particles that putatively travel at the speed of light — the photon and/or graviton — have a nonzero mass m ≥10-68kg. This result is found to be in excellent agreement with current experimental mass bounds on the graviton and…
