…about black holes. Laughlin has nothing to say about Lorentz invariance. For a real stab down Laughlin's direction, done 100,000 times better with testable predictions, check out G. Volovik's book "The Universe in a Helium Droplet"
on “Quasiparticles and the Miracle of Emergence” ↗For a highly in-depth look at the theory behind this, I can recommend “The Universe in a Helium Droplet” by Volovik [1]. 1. https://academic.oup.com/book/11557
on “She Turns Fluids into 'Black Holes' and 'Inflating Universes'” ↗That article describes a hypothetical microphysical model of gravity. It's an old idea which has been done better by others (see e.g. "The Universe in a Helium Droplet" [1]). Whether right or wrong, it has no bearing on your claim that > Gravity, arguably, does not experience gravity as a curved surface. Any valid microphysical model of gravity must be able to reproduce…
