    In this video, Dr. Erik Verlinde explains how gravity can be viewed as a function of the entanglement of quanta or literally information sharing. He explains why this new re-envisioning of gravity is necessary because of problems with General Relativity, dark matter and dark energy (similar to the problem that Newton's formulation required the imaginary planet Vulcan to explain observational problems with the equations).

    Metaphysically this approach does away for the need to describe the universe with an artificially conceived space-time, and instead relies only upon information sharing - or what I would call memory - embedded in a holographic universe, to describe microscopic and macroscopic observations.

    Parenthetically, this way of looking at the universe, was conceived of by Bergson many decades before quantum and holography was discovered by scientists. He also rejected Relativity as being ontological. How did he do this? By observing patterns and intuiting processes that would support these patterns.
