Newtonian gravity as an entropic force: Towards a derivation of G

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-05-09 v6 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

It has been suggested that the Newtonian gravitational force may emerge as an entropic force from a holographic microscopic theory. In this framework, the possibility is reconsidered that Newton's gravitational coupling constant G can be derived from the fundamental constants of the underlying microscopic theory.
