Gravity defies the standard model; a new approach (Introduction)
This looks good! But it's not going to make dhw happy:-Quote: Then, using statistics to consider all possible movements of the small mass and the energy changes involved, Verlinde finds movements toward the bigger mass are thermodynamically more likely than others. This effect can be seen as a net force pulling both masses together. Physicists call this an entropic force, as it originates in the most likely changes in information content.-It's all down to chance, dhw's bugbear.
