Emerging gravity from defects in world crystal

I show that Einstein Gravity can be thought of as arising from the defects in a world crystal whose lattice spacing is of the order of the Planck length lP » 10-33 cm, and whose elastic energy is of the second-gradient type (floppy crystal). No physical experiment so far would be able to detect the lattice structure.
