>Some points.
>1. How much energy is wasted holding you on the surface of the earth, quite a lot over your life time.

The energy that holds me to the earth is the work done by gravity, entropy is the wasted energy that would be given off by gravitons as heat.

>2. Gravity is a very powerful force, it just doesn't have much effect in our dimension.

Gravity is a very weak force, as a matter of fact, it is the weakest of the four forces.

>3. In the example of a normal star, where you say gravity has no entropy is not correct, as it is the binding energy (in your example, wasted energy) that keeps the star held together, otherwise the contents of the star would dissipate out into the surrounding universe thereby increasing the entropy of the universe as a whole.

Your point is arguing that work done by gravity is entropy. It is the work done by gravity that holds the star together not the entropy. The entropy would be energy given off as heat from the gravitational force which is minimal if there is any at all.

>4. The event horizon example as used is the only way they can get the current model to work.
>What I say is this, matter itself is also an event horizon (mind you not as efficient as a black hole) by the way it propergates the graviton particles from the quantum level into our dimension.

An event horizon is the line past which nothing can escape from a black hole. It is the point at which the gravitational force is so high that not even light can escape it. By definition only a black hole can have an event horizon as there is nothing else curently known that has that high of a concentration of gravity to disallow anything from escaping its hold.
