Letter: Hologravity

Published 4 March 2009

From Galen Strawson

As a schoolboy I used to wonder why the law of gravitational attraction is an inverse-square law rather than an inverse-cube law. I now wonder whether there might be a connection between the holographic principle (17 January, p 24) and the fact that the gravitational attraction is an inverse-square law.
