> Verlinde's de Sitter MOND is highly incomplete, to say the least

>The Dutch media brutally overhype a generic speculative idea

>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.

>Someone else may find some crisp ideas that make the same or similar picture convincing – e.g. derive the volume-extensive entanglement entropy terms in de Sitter space from string theory etc. But without such an advance, I think that Erik Verlinde's preprint is a mediocre vague paper that everyone may ignore and it's too bad that the science media act differently. By the way, if you care, Frank Wilczek has attended a talk by Erik Verlinde and his words were harsher than mine.

I almost posted that Motls piece.
I'm waiting for his response now that the theory has been 'tested' - which appears to be a more recent claim.
Sadly, I don't have the knowledge to give an independent assessment.
