AI Thread Summary
A new theory of gravity has been mentioned in discussions, but its specifics remain unclear and unverified. The theory is reportedly gaining attention, yet it has not been accepted as a replacement for gravity, which is currently described by general relativity. The conversation references a possible connection to Verlinde's claims, which are still under scrutiny. Participants emphasize the need for credible sources when discussing such theories. Overall, the topic highlights ongoing debates in the physics community regarding gravity's fundamental nature.

New theory of gravity?

Hey guys, so today my Dad and his business partner were talking about this new theory that replaces gravity or something. They said it was pretty popular right now and the math was still being tested but they couldn't remember the name of it. I tried to look for it on google but found nothing that I thought was credible. If anyone know what I'm talking about or has any links they could offer I would appreciate it. Maybe it's old news, I don't know, I have kind of been slacking on keeping up with the latest physics news and all.

It is almost impossible to read minds (I've tried, and not very good at it). So who knows what they could be talking about. I'm almost guessing that it was the brouhaha surrounding the Verlinde's claim which somehow is getting some free press publicity.

This is already being discussed here:

It is FAR from being accepted, and certainly has not replaced gravity.

Next time, we would prefer a less ambiguous sources or references.

Zz.
 


Yeah my bad lol, they said they herd it on national public radio so I thought I'd look it up, thanks ZapperZ, sorry about the sources haha.
 


Our current model of gravity is in general relativity right?
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
