But it may be that information works the same in discourse as it does in physics. Some forces increase it, others decrease it. Either way, this theory seems to support my thesis.


Technology Review: Blogs: arXiv blog: Gravity Emerges from Quantum Information, Say Physicists
The new role that quantum information plays in gravity sets the scene for a dramatic unification of ideas in physics.

One of the hottest new ideas in physics is that gravity is an emergent phenomena; that it somehow arises from the complex interaction of simpler things.

A few month’s ago, Erik Verlinde at the the University of Amsterdam put forward one such idea which has taken the world of physics by storm. Verlinde suggested that gravity is merely a manifestation of entropy in the Universe. His idea is based on the second law of thermodynamics, that entropy always increases over time. It suggests that differences in entropy between parts of the Universe generates a force that redistributes matter in a way that maximises entropy. This is the force we call gravity.…
