Gravity as an emergent phenomenon: A conceptual description
T. Padmanabhan
TL;DR
This paper discusses a program to understand gravity as an emergent phenomenon similar to elasticity, presenting a conceptual framework supported by recent results.
Contribution
It introduces a novel conceptual approach to view gravity as emergent, with a specific framework illustrating this paradigm.
Findings
Gravity can be modeled as an emergent, long wavelength phenomenon.
Recent results support the viability of the emergent gravity framework.
The approach parallels elasticity in condensed matter physics.
Abstract
I describe several broad features of a programme to understand gravity as an emergent, long wavelength, phenomenon (like elasticity) and discuss one concrete framework for realizing this paradigm in the backdrop of several recent results.
