Gravity as an entropic force

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

A proposition not going into anything further than like the beginning of an essay, could be merged into gravity perhaps.  fetch  comms  ☛ 02:15, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Support Deletion, proposition is adequately covered in Erik Verlinde (the proposer). Given that it is early days for this proposal/hypothesis, it would probably be unwise to extend it into the gravity article Peterxyz (talk) 03:25, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Erik Verlinde is not the only person to have ideas like this, so it is not right that the info should only be in the article on him. The findsources links at the top of this AfD page are misleading - search for the phrase without the quotes - this article isn't about an exact phrase - the title is just a descriptive title. It shouldn't be merged into the Gravitation article. All that should be in that article is a link in the Recent Alternatives section. Charvest (talk) 13:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Currently a stub, but could easily be extended. Those who state this is a new theory miss relevant background. The concept of entropic gravity goes back to Jacobson - PRL 75, 1260 (1995). JocK (talk) 22:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep I think it is reasonable to have a separate page for this theory. It's already linked to from gravity. ErikHaugen (talk) 22:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Because I say so. 124.198.164.79 (talk) 13:18, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
