Description
We describe novel ideas on how gravity at low energies could be the reflection of the UV quantum field theory of nature. Many of the observable properties of gravity including its fundamental role in the realization of diffeomorphism invariance are explained. Some new features also become possible and could be in principle tested in experiments.
The emergence of gravity is directly linked to an elusive particle: the axion.
Some of these ideas were sketched in http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1408.3541
