Entropic gravity is a theoretical framework that attempts to explain gravity not as a fundamental force, but as an emergent phenomenon arising from the statistical behavior of microscopic degrees of freedom in a system, particularly in the context of thermodynamics and information theory. The concept was notably developed by physicist Erik Verlinde in a paper published in 2011. According to this viewpoint, gravity emerges from the entropy associated with the information of the positions of matter.
