Cooling metal bars to near absolute zero, suspending microscopic gold beads, or searching for signs that gravity might be quantum: meet the scientists hunting for gravity's elusive nature ...

A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity — could help solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology, new research suggests.

Gravity is a basic force that affects everything we experience. Watch as a flat earther attempts to explain it without using ...

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind.

If there's one thing everybody knows about space, it's that there's no gravity once you leave the Earth's atmosphere. We all know that don't we? It's actually not true — and an attempt at a massive ...

Since conventional explanations have failed to pony up dark matter, one physicist is looking towards the unconventional. In a series of two papers, physicist Stefano Profumo of the University of ...

Kyoto, Japan -- Having more tools helps; having the right tools is better. Utilizing multiple dimensions may simplify difficult problems -- not only in science fiction but also in physics -- and tie ...

Geologists have long been captivated by the Indian Ocean's "gravity hole," where the Earth's gravitational pull weakens, its mass falls, and sea levels drop by about 328 feet (100 meters). After years ...

Stanley Deser, a theoretical physicist who helped illuminate the details of gravity and how it shapes the space-time fabric of the universe, died April 21 in Pasadena, California. He was 92. His death ...

Indranil Banik is paid from a grant awarded by the STFC whose primary objective is to test MOND using wide binary stars in the Solar neighbourhood. We can model the motions of planets in the Solar ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...
