INTRO: Gravity is likely the force we are all most familiar with. Yet, scientifically, it remains the most mysterious. The standard theories we have of gravity simply cannot make sense of things like the accelerating expansion of the universe or even the rotation of galaxies – leading us to have to invent 95% of the universe in the forms of dark matter and energy. Furthermore, we still have no solution to the problem of quantum gravity. Here, physicist Melvin Vopson argues for a controversial view of gravity. Information, he argues, is as fundamental as mass and energy, and gravity is a way for the universe to minimize the complexity of information. (MORE - details)
