Gravity, Entropy, and the Emergent Cosmos

The Deep Dive explores the provocative idea that gravity might not be fundamental but emergent from information and thermodynamics. Tracing the arc from Bekenstein and Hawking to Verlinde’s entropic gravity, through critical challenges, and into a new wave of approaches using quantum relative entropy, including recent work on gravity as a geometric-information effect that could explain dark energy and dark matter. We’ll also survey observational hints, lensing tests, and the broader landscape of experiments and ideas reshaping how we understand the force that keeps planets in orbit.
