Hi Marsha
Cool paper. And I hope you understand what he tried to do in MoQ terms?
He tried to show how the inorganic pattern gravity is supported by the
lower quantum level. He said he didn't "believe" in gravity anymore, but
he also stated that gravity is an "emergent" property of space-time. So,
if he doesn't believe in gravity, then he doesn't believe in space or
time either.
He has simply moved a level down and now thinks that all levels above
that are just emergent properties of his new ground zero level. But we
MoQ people know that all levels are equally real. The most basic one is
not more real just because all others depend on it.
The same thing can be said about smell, taste and other biological
experiences. "They are just emergent properties of inorganic processes."
But that doesn't recognize the biological reality of tasting a freshly
harvested cucumber from your very own green house.

Believe in gravity? Better think again
It’s hard to imagine a more fundamental and ubiquitous aspect of life
on the Earth than gravity, from the moment you first took a step and
fell on your diapered bottom to the slow terminal sagging of flesh
and dreams.
But what if it’s all an illusion, a sort of cosmic frill, or a side
effect of something else going on at deeper levels of reality?
So says Erik Verlinde, 48, a respected string theorist and professor
of physics at the University of Amsterdam, whose contention that
gravity is indeed an illusion has caused a continuing ruckus among
physicists, or at least among those who profess to understand it.
Reversing the logic of 300 years of science, he argued in a recent
paper, titled “On the Origin of Gravity and the Laws of Newton,” that
gravity is a consequence of the venerable laws of thermodynamics,
which describe the behavior of heat and gases.
