Quantum Gravity and String Theory

    

Can Gravitation be Expressed as Information?

Authors: Victor Christianto

Erik Verlinde has proposed in 2010 that gravitation is related to entropy. He managed to derive Newton law from this assumption. His paper attracts many new papers around similar idea, for example there is proposal of entropic dark energy by Smoot et al. But deep behind the new entropic gravity approach, there is a question about whether gravitation can be expressed as information. This article is a summary of discussion about this question in researchgate.net. It is put here to stimulate further discussion. It is not yet conclusive.
