entropic gravity

(emergent gravity)
(MOND-like theory of gravity)

Entropic gravity (or emergent gravity) is a 2007 theory developed by Erik Verlinde that bases a MOND-like gravity on string theory and hypothesizes a relation between gravity to entropy. It would also result in divergence from the usual gravitational formula at extremely small distances.
