So, let’s get on with it! Gravity and emergent phenomena: let’s indulge We are not saying that such discussions are not interesting, but we have a different goal in mind.
What we’d also like to avoid is a somewhat philosophical discussion regarding whether in essence everything that we observe is emergent. We won’t try to settle the emergent gravity debate, and we don’t want to go into discussions on the very definition of emergence in physics either. Other researchers have subsequently challenged these entropic gravity ideas. This entropic gravity theory also attempts to explain dark energy. The main example is Erik Verlinde’s suggestion that gravity is an entropic force, and that this theory is an alternative to dark matter. There has been quite a bit of discussion about proposed physics theories describing gravity as an emergent phenomenon (emergent gravity). Jaswe/Shutterstock Is gravity an emergent phenomenon? Entropic gravity? The origin of life is an unsolved mystery Therefore, the jury is still out on whether these can be explained as emergent phenomena. That is seriously fascinating but the exact details of how intelligence/consciousness works or how life appeared on Earth are, for the most part, still a mystery to science.
However, when looking at the whole entity, a human being can be alive, conscious and show intelligence. These parts are individually not “alive” and don’t show any intelligence. A human being consists of various individual parts (such as neurons, or even simply atoms). More controversial are attempts to describe and/or understand intelligence and (the origin of) life as emergent properties. Hurricanes and other weather phenomena, and how these developĮmergence of intelligence and life itself.The flocking behavior of birds is an emergent phenomenon.Nature is filled with such phenomena, and some frequently used examples are: However, for the purpose of this article we’ll focus on emergent phenomena in nature and physics. For example, an aspect of social science: groups of people can show collective behavior that individuals cannot show on their own. Such research fields include biology, physics, chemistry, philosophy and social sciences. Some examples of emergent phenomenaĮmergent phenomena are of interest in many fields of scientific study. Spoiler alert: we’ll seriously twist things up later on. Emergence is intriguing stuff, right? Now, let’s look at some examples, and then see how we might be able to relate emergent phenomena and gravity.
