Entropy as Gravity

The article discusses a new theoretical approach that revisits the idea of gravity as an emergent phenomenon resulting from rising entropy, rather than being a fundamental force.

This concept, known as 'entropic gravity,' suggests that gravitational attraction could arise from the random interactions of particles, akin to how heat and entropy operate.

Isaac Newton originally hypothesized mechanical models of gravity, which Einstein's theory of general relativity later replaced. However, Einstein's theory has its own gaps, which entropic gravity seeks to address.

The new approach includes experimental models where space consists of quantum particles, or qubits, which align themselves with masses and exert forces, potentially explaining gravitational effects as entropy-driven interactions.

Though still theoretical and requiring further evidence, this entropic gravity model may challenge existing notions of gravity and open up new avenues for experimental testing.
