Mathematical descriptions of our universe are influenced by the presumed existence of dark matter which was introduced to explain a failure of Newton’s law of gravity to predict the velocities of stars. This essay postulates a new equation for gravity derived from research undertaken by Professor Leonard Susskind and Professor Seth Lloyd. If this equation can more accurately predict the velocities of stars, the underlying theory supports the idea that our universe originates in an Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. In an AdS space, there may not be unresolvable Undecidability, Uncomputability, and Unpredictability issues. Our universe could have been designed to generate solutions to these issues. This essay is a first step in challenging the notion that ‘there are rigorous arguments limiting what we can prove, compute and predict’. The essay describes how a new equation for gravity was derived and how it could be tested. This equation includes variables for the ages and temperatures of a star and galaxy as well as the history of their interaction. When these variables are ignored, the equation reduces to Newton’s Law.
