Fascinating man totally love what he does to my mind !! I am Verlinde hooked.

I ended up here because a thought kept me up at night. I explained my concept to ChatGPT and it told me I was developing an idea that posed gravity as an emergent force. I'm glad this is already being explored, because my curiosity was killing me. I didn't get any sleep

[@YawnGod]

Pro-tip: Everything is emergent. It's a nifty system.

[@helicalactual]

entanglement is geometry is information is gravity is thermodynamics.

[@TheMemesofDestruction]

Fascinating Stuff! Thank You! ^.^

Very good lecture. I first time come across space geometry dependent thermodynamics. Those glassy states and its micro structure are the responsible for inertia ? Is gravity dimensionfree ? In the emergent gravity has state of young and mature state to show EINSTEIN Eq. Valid. Vacuum themodynamics in MOND is not second order​ derivatives . Thank you this channel.

[@JAYMOAP]

Very nice presentation.

@12:00 is there not a bootstrapping type of issue here? You can claim m = dS/dx but that does not mean entropy change *_is_* mass, it just means there is a relation near horizons. One might equally say masses are what define entropy (count the particles). After all, entropy really is the derived concept, not the fundamental. The equivalence principle seems more likely, imho, to be simple mass playing a dual role in physics. "Space tells matter how to move, matter tells space how to bend" --- is not just a whimsical Wheelerism, it is quite deep. What I would take from it is that mass _is_ spacetime topology. Then you only need axioms or conjecture (if they can be proven) about how topology alters curvature. But do we not have that already in basic holonomy concepts and the assumption spacetime is smooth asymptotically (so ≫ Planck lengths or so) far from a mass?

I wonder if someone has tried to model something like a Warp Drive using his theory or at least something that has the same effect

[@aniksamiurrahman6365]

Great initiative, IIT Gandhinagar. This type of highly theoretical research is barely present in the Indian Subcontinent.

[@morgengabe1]

It's barely present in europe abd the us too..,

[@solexxx8588]

I think the vacuum is the missing mass and energy in the universe. Calling it dark matter/energy does not seem to define it. Entropy sounds promising.

[@JAYMOAP]

It's confined momentum without conservation in matter states

[@anywallsocket]

wtf is wrong w ur slides bro

[@146maxpain]

Fake physics. Erik should stay with "string theory". Thermodynamics is obviously not his craft.

[@kiran0511]

fake why ?

[@fLaMePr0oF]

What was your PhD?

[@146maxpain]

@@championchap how can you say that. String theory is dead and everybody knows it. Please stop masking the failure of string theory.
