@riemannium there is some chg/ new thinking in the air, have blogged on it over the yrs. am looking esp into fluid/ hydrodynamics as a unifying principle as seen in the breakthru experiments of Couder et al and articulated in detail by Bush, urge you to look into it all. lately am finding hydrodynamics aspects to GR and am gonna blog on that coming up. also Verlinde ideas on emergent gravity are gaining some significant traction etc.
