    Actually his ideas were published but were rejected by you .

    You are being obtuse again river or just intellectually dishonest..........
    His ideas were rejected by the scientific community as a whole.

    Before this thread completely train-wrecks, here's what looks to be a bucket of cold water on Verlinde's otherwise promising not-so-new theory:
    https://www.technologyreview.com/s/425220/experiments-show-gravity-is-not-an-emergent-phenomenon/
    https://arxiv.org/abs/1108.4161
    The argument and experimental setup also described and illustrated pp9-11 here: http://guava.physics.uiuc.edu/~nigel/courses/569/Essays_Fall2012/Files/damasco.pdf

    A word search using 'Kobakhidze' in Verlinde's latest v2: https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.02269
    comes up blank. Which may or may not suggest he is ducking a fatal issue. A theory that jumps through 9 hoops out of 10 doesn't get a score of9/10, but 0.
    I'm sure this post will motivate a furious search for a rebuttal to Kobakhidze's rebuttal. Which might even be valid. Let's see.

    Gravity was considered random emergent consequence of matter ?

    He didn't win the Nobel prize for Plasma/Electric universe theory river......

    Is that supposed to impress me?

    Fred Hoyle was also another great astronomer/scientist, not withstanding his opposition to the BB and pushing the Steady State.
    Electric/Plasma theory was demolished and rebuffed fairly and squarely via proper professionals and the scientific method......
    You need to accept that before you kick the bucket!

    Actually Hanns theories were to complicated to be included in Einstein's theories .

    No, his hypothesis was debunked and discarded because it was not supported by evidence....simple as that.

    So Nobel Prize is given out with no support of evidence ?

    Just another example of your silleness river, as I have told you
    The Nobel prize was not given for the Plasma/Electric universe hypothetical.
    His peers rejected that nonsense.

    Never mentioned anything about Electric Universe or Plasma Universe .

    The Plasma Universe is slowly gaining acceptence.

    Can you give any link, citation or reference supporting that?

    "In 2010, Erik Verlinde surprised the world with a completely new theory of gravity. According to Verlinde, gravity is not a fundamental force of nature, but an emergent phenomenon. In the same way that temperature arises from the movement of microscopic particles, gravity emerges from the changes of fundamental bits of information, stored in the very structure of spacetime..."

    I'm sorry but this is popscience pseudoscience woo that flatly contradicts general relativity.
