Part 9/11:
The debate persists over whether gravity is a fundamental force—mediated by hypothetical particles called gravitons—or an emergent phenomenon arising from more basic constituents. Most physicists lean toward quantizing gravity, fitting it into the framework of the Standard Model extended to include gravity. Yet, skepticism remains, especially given the lack of experimental evidence for gravitons and the difficulty of reconciling quantum mechanics with general relativity.
The possibility that gravity is emergent and rooted in informational or thermodynamic principles invites a profound reevaluation of our theories. If true, our entire understanding of spacetime and matter might need reimagining—perhaps akin to how black hole thermodynamics revolutionized thinking about horizons and entropy.
