Description
Despite partial successes, our attempts to construct a consistent quantum theory of gravity remain incomplete. In recent years, however, the idea that spacetime itself may be an emergent concept has gained growing interest across a broad and diverse community. In this talk, I will outline some of the motivations for pursuing this perspective, and present a selection of toy models, largely inspired by analogue gravity, that highlight fundamental mechanisms potentially underlying gravitational phenomena. I will also discuss possible avenues for testing these ideas.
