Hello,
What do you guys think of this?

Interesting, seems plausible to me, not so original (cf the
explanation of space-time from quantum entanglement) and of course all
this is in line with the idea that space-time-energy is also emerging.
I still hope he recovers phenomenologically general relativity in the
large scale. If Verlinde explain the dynamics and shape of the
galaxies without Dark Matter, that would be quite remarkable.
What he means by "illusion" is "not primitive", or "not primary". In
this list, we already know (I hope) that if mechanism is correct in
cognitive science, the whole of physics is no more fundamental and
must be derived from arithmetical self-reference, as it does till now.
I am not sure why he says that Einstein was wrong, as I am not sure
Einstein ever asserted that space-time or gravity was fundamental.
To say that Einstein is wrong looks like a cliché in fashion, today.
To me, Einstein is still vindicated on both the macro and the micro,
and I take his 1927 remarks, and its EPR paper as indications that he
got a better understanding on QM than his contemporaries.
In the same issue, the article "Scientists Find Religion Triggers Same
Area of Brain as Sex, Drugs and Love" is funny, but a bit trivial, as
the brain zone excited are the one related to pleasure. Also, they
looked only to Mormons' experiences, well ... It is nice that they
make such study though, but here too, they still keep in outdated
theory of mind (I guess this will last for sometime).
Best,
Bruno
Cheers
Telmo.
