Hi, All!

I found this interesting interview with Erik Verlinde:

Gravity Doesn't Exist

ERIK VERLINDE
Theoretical Physicist

The theoretical physicist believes that gravity is an emergent phenomenon, not the elemental "force" that Newton and Einstein theorized it to be. He thinks it is the result of patterns of complex, microscopic phenomena.
