Emergent Gravity

This is interesting.

>>8470051
apparently it's TOO interesting for other /sci/ posters to look at.

>>8470085
It's too advanced. How many people on /sci/ do you think are doing graduate-level physics?

>>8470085
yeah bro, not everyone is a physicist here
most of us are just roleplaying scientists here

>>8468539
Of course it is. Einstein is the master Cuck.

The dude had to invent a magical factor Δ just to save his ass, and didn't even understand the physical implications of doing so. He's wrong, and anyone who knows anything about theoretical physics will coincide with this fact. It's just, he was a smart guy, and he was so good at being wrong, that it'll take a while for people to uncover it.

What are the applications of this?

>>8470350
It solves the dark matter problem, so if true it will be an important tool in astronomy.

Do people with BSs in physics understand this?

>is gravity an emergent phenomenon?
Obviously, since the universe is actually two dimensional all these shenanigans in this 3D appearing projection are emergent.

Nigga wut?

>The Dutch media brutally overhype a generic speculative idea
>his theory was just a wrong collection of speculations and misunderstandings about the relationships between the fundamental concepts of physics.
>I wouldn't okay this wrong piece of work as an undergraduate term paper but he got 6.5 millions of euros for this absolutely worthless pile of feces so many people who are impressed by the money but don't have an idea about science – which includes virtually all journalists – started to think that Verlinde is a top physicist. And he may have decided that he must justify the award by producing even greater piles of bogus hype.

He's a string theorist alright but I'd rather take his opinions with a grain of salt.

To any normies like me in here: don't let the abstract fool you. Download the PDF and read the paper. It's long and I haven't gotten through it all, but the introduction alone is a sufficient layman's explanation of that mess of an abstract.
