> "Emergent gravity has very strong claims: that it can explain things like dark matter and dark energy, but also reproduce the decades of work coming out of regular general relativity,"
But no effort is made to check if emergent gravity can explain the motion of a falling stone. I would think that a proposed theory should start by explaining the trivial and the obvious and if it can explain these then it can be tried in more esoteric problems.
