New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...
The holy grail of theoretical physics is to come up with a quantum theory of gravity. But after a century of trying we really have no idea how close we are, or it it's even possible. But we shouldn't ...
Photos and videos of astronauts on the ISS show them floating around, but saying there's zero gravity isn't fully accurate.
Our universe would look so different, Kyle. You might not recognize it even if you could be here to see it. Unfortunately, there probably wouldn’t be a whole lot to see. I learned about this from ...
Gravity is the unseen force that shapes the universe, yet we rarely give it much thought. First explained by Sir Isaac Newton, it is the pull that draws objects toward one another based on their mass ...
Blue Origin will launch its first suborbital rocket launch of 2025 today — and attempt a wild spin trick to mimic the moon's gravity during the flight — but if you want to see it live, you'll need to ...
Scientists are inching closer to answering one of physics’ most fundamental questions: is gravity quantum in nature? Among the four fundamental forces that govern our Universe, gravity remains the odd ...
Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...
