A mind-bending proposal Dr. Verlinde's proposition is not entirely unique. Others have argued that gravity, instead of being a fundamental force of the Universe, is instead an emergent phenomenon.

Researchers recently measured gravity on the smallest scale ever. They say the work may be an important step toward the next big revolution in physics.

So, the experiment is designed to determine whether quantum entanglement occurs in the pair during freefall, when the force of the gravity between the diamonds is the only way that they interact.

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Particles cannot be entangled without a quantum force acting between them, and so Bose and collaborator suggest an experiment where gravity is used to create such an entanglement.

So, the experiment is designed to determine whether quantum entanglement occurs in the pair during freefall, when the force of the gravity between the diamonds is the only way that they interact.

If gravity is a quantum mechanical force, adjacent free-falling masses, each of which is in a superposition of being in two places at once, could get entangled by gravity such that measuring the ...

Before Galileo, Newton and Einstein, it seems to be Leonardo da Vinci who started piecing together the gravity puzzle.

Is gravity a result of differences in informational density? Or is this theory too far out there to address all the issues present in modern physics? Here, we take a look at a recent proposal that ...
