Gravity, it's not a force!

I haven't read Dewey Larson. But I think the key assertion here is that one can go from a simple representation of quantum informational density, through the described transformation, to the simple formulation that is Newton's laws. Like the way one describes thermodynamics as the macro manifestation of statistical mechanics (micro, quantum.) It even uses the stat. mech. based concept of "temperature" so it sounds like an extension of statistical mechanics.

As 't Hooft says, it sounds intriguing. Unlike 't Hooft who has seen already, we have to wait for the publication to see it explicitly.

Newton's laws only apply to that which is not rotating, thus very little of the actual universe.

I recall spending a lot of time in freshman physics learning about angular momentum, Coriolis force, etc. in a Newtonian context. As far as I know, rotating systems are generally described by Newton's laws.

If we didn't have physics for rotating systems, I do not think it would have been possible to design internal combustion engines, turbines, and all the other rotating systems we have built.
