We all think we know what gravity is. But where gravity comes from stumped Newton, and 300 years later we are no closer to an explanation.
Erik Verlinde, Frank Wilczek and Laura Mersini-Houghton debate why gravity remains so elusive.
Frank Wilczek is an American theoretical physicist, mathematician and a Nobel laureate. He is currently the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has received many prizes for his work, including a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004. Wilczek has made seminal contributions to fundamental particle physics, cosmology and the physics of materials. His current theoretical research includes work on Axions, Anyons, and Time Crystals.
Erik Verlinde is a theoretical Physicist at Amsterdam University working on string theory, gravity, cosmology and black holes, known for entropic gravity & the Verlinde formula.
Laura Mersini-Houghton is an Albanian-American cosmologist and theoretical physicist, and Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
