A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

The Gravity from Entropy theory, for example, explicitly targets applications in cosmology, arguing that entropy production can drive cosmic acceleration, but those claims will ultimately live or die ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

Emergent gravity is a bold idea. It claims that the force of gravity is a mere illusion, more akin to friction or heat—a property that emerges from some deeper physical interaction. This emergent ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

What if gravity, the force that holds your feet to the ground and binds galaxies together, is much more than a fundamental law of nature? What if it’s actually the smoking-gun clue that suggests ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Entropy. The word itself should cause insomnia. It means that matter and energy will degrade—ultimately leading to chaos in the universe—if things ...
