Intro
This chapter discusses the advantages of meal replacement drinks for busy individuals, emphasizing their nutritional benefits and convenience. The speaker shares personal insights and promotes a special offer for new customers, making it an appealing option for those with hectic lifestyles.
What if gravity is not fundamental but emerges from quantum entanglement? In this episode, physicist Ted Jacobson reveals how Einstein’s equations can be derived from thermodynamic principles of the quantum vacuum, reshaping our understanding of space, time, and gravity itself.
