We’ve been taught since childhood that gravity is a pulling force—apples fall, planets orbit, all because mass pulls things toward it. But what if we’ve had it backwards all along? A bold new theory called VERSF suggests gravity might not be a pull at all—it’s more like a push, created by invisible entropy fields that flow through space.
Instead of bending spacetime like Einstein described, massive objects disturb the structure of space itself, creating gradients of entropy—a kind of invisible pressure that pushes on things, gently guiding their motion and even affecting the passage of time. These entropy fields could explain why galaxies spin faster than they should or why the universe is expanding—without needing to invent mysterious dark matter or dark energy.
This isn’t just theory for theory’s sake. With today’s atomic clocks—accurate enough to detect a difference in time between your head and your feet—we could test this idea in the lab. If VERSF is right, we may be standing on the edge of a revolution in how we understand gravity, time, and the very fabric of reality.
