Induced gravity
Induced gravity explains gravity as an emergent phenomenon.
Explanation
According to this theory, spacetime curvature and its dynamics emerge as a field approximation of underlying microscopic degrees of freedom that are entangled. It implies that quantum entanglement is the fundamental property that gives rise to spacetime.
HistoryThe concept was originally proposed by Soviet atomic scientist Andrei Sakharov in 1967. |
