Maybe we're watching two dogs chasing the same thing. Either way, it certainly sounds more promising than String Theory.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"

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.
