The Emergence of Gravity
Erik Verlinde
12/05/2010
"Theoretical insights originated from the study of black holes combined with developments in string theory indicate that space time and gravity are emergent. A central role in these developments is played by the holographic principle. I will present a heuristic argument that indicates that at a microscopic level gravity is an entropic force caused by changes in the available phase space ..."
We've looked at several papers about this, by Verlinde himself, Lee Smolin, Jerzy Kowalski-Glickman, Andy Randono, George Smoot, and others. But sometimes watching a video can provide additional intuition, so people might want to check this out.
