Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Up until now, the prospect of anti-gravity technology has been strictly confined to science fiction stories and films alike. However, CERN physicists are set to begin an experiment that may well ...

One of the most astonishing facts about science is how universally applicable the laws of nature are. Every particle obeys the same rules, experiences the same forces, and sees the same fundamental ...

You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

The field of gravity modelling and inversion techniques focuses on deciphering the Earth’s subsurface density distributions through the interpretation of gravitational measurements. At its core, this ...

started rising. As the ground rebounded in this fashion, the gravity field changed. “The Earth behaved much like putting your finger into a sponge ball and watching it slowly bounce back,” said ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

Thanks to Newton, we all know that what comes up must come down. But did you know that what comes down comes down with just slightly less pressure if you’re standing in Europe or the South Pacific? We ...

Space data shows gravity warping Earth into a lumpy, technicolored potato -- but what does it actually mean? After nearly two years in space, a European satellite has collected the raw data needed to ...

If your eyes had the ability to see gravity, this is the view you’d get while flying over the moon. The beautiful image above shows the most detailed gravity field map ever created for any body in the ...
