A recent theory by physicists Ruth Kastner and Andreas Schlatter proposes that gravity might not be a fundamental force, as traditionally believed. Instead, they suggest that gravity emerges from quantum-level electromagnetic interactions between charged particles, such as atoms and molecules. In this framework, when particles emit and absorb photons—the basic units of light and electromagnetic force—these interactions generate events that collectively form the fabric of spacetime. This perspective challenges Einstein's view of gravity as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Furthermore, the theory offers explanations for phenomena like the motion of stars in galaxies and the universe's accelerated expansion, which are typically attributed to dark matter and dark energy. By considering gravity as an emergent property arising from entropy and quantum interactions, this approach could potentially eliminate the need for these elusive concepts.
