Do I have any evidence towards my intentionally vague and open-ended assertation? Yes, for the individual systems which are dependent on gravity in some way which we have studied. There are already examples in this thread.
I don't understand how the equivalence principle matters here. If you placed a system within another system which perfectly mimicked the gravity created from mass via just acceleration, then the system never knows the difference. That is the equivalence principle, and it doesn't have much to do with what I'm discussing here. What I'm discussing is the yet unstudied emergent effects of massive, far-reaching gravitational perturbations in... stirring the pot, so to speak.
- eesmith 7y agoIf acceleration sufficiently mimics gravity such that living systems cannot tell the difference then it's 1) not really true that life requires gravity, and 2) it certainly doesn't require quantum gravity. You still haven't demonstrated where "chemical reactions in our organelles" are meaningfully affected by gravity. All the references you've given are for much larger systems.
- soulofmischief 7y agoHow can you reference the equivalence principle and then deny it in the very next post? Looking back, I would have chosen my words a little more carefully to reference organelles without referencing chemical reactions specifically.
