Mind = blown.

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold new line of research now argues that gravity is not fundamental at all, ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

“The Earth will not lose gravity on Aug. 12, 2026.” That plain-language sentence from a NASA spokesperson is the fastest way ...

Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun’s gravity, and their technique promises a major ...

By studying how light from eight distant quasars is gravitationally lensed as it propagates towards Earth, astronomers have ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

Professor Takaaki Kajita, recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, delivered a public lecture on gravitational waves at ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...
