I've recently heard for the first time about the topics of Emergent Gravity and Emergent Spacetime.

But I cannot find any resource that explains these ideas in a way that lay people can understand.

If you know of one, please post the link, or write an explanation in simple terms. I've read a lot about Einstein's work, so I know the broad principles of Special and General Relativity.

Thanks!

Check out the Beyond the Standard Model forum. This has been discussed there recently. You will get better responses in that forum than in this one.
