Emergent gravity may be a dead idea, but it’s not a bad one
SMRTR summary
A theory called emergent gravity proposes that gravity arises from quantum interactions, attempting to explain dark matter and link gravity to thermodynamics. While facing observational and theoretical challenges, the concept has stimulated innovative thinking about gravity and spacetime. Testing such bold ideas, even if unsuccessful, is crucial for advancing physics and potentially uncovering new fundamental principles.
