Is gravity a new type of force that arises from cosmic entropy?

A controversial theory proposing that gravity isn't a fundamental force, but rather an emergent phenomenon arising from the increasing entropy (disorder) of the universe, is gaining renewed attention. Originally proposed decades ago, the idea suggests gravity is a byproduct of the universe's natural progression towards greater chaos. Advancements in observational astronomy and theoretical physics are now potentially making this once-fringe concept testable, offering a radical alternative to our current understanding of the cosmos. If proven correct, it would fundamentally alter our understanding of physics and the nature of reality.
