If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...

You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...

Alex Chadwick talks Ira Flatow, host of NPR's Talk of the Nation Science Friday, about new examinations of the theories of Galileo and Isaac Newton relating to gravity. This is DAY TO DAY. I'm Alex ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

Canseco kicked off his bizarre tirade against gravity with a cryptic tweet on Monday. On Tuesday Canseco shared his theories on how gravity in ancient times was “much weaker” because how else could ...

Hey, how do you feel about gravity? Seems real, right? Knock stuff over, it falls down. But according to new research, that might just be because we all live in a holodeck. This requires some ...

With the astronaut flick Gravity dominating box offices and dinner table conversation, Science Friday brings in the experts to fact-check. In our first installment of "Science Goes to the Movies," ...

WASHINGTON (ISNS) -- Scientists know how gravity works at big distances -- the inter-planetary or inter-stellar range -- but does it work the same way at the inter-atomic range? A variety of tabletop ...

In 1916, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves when he proposed his theory of general relativity. Einstein figured that any object with mass creates a kind of signal, rippling ...

Astronomers obsessed with solving the mysteries of dark matter or dark energy should remember: To make a great discovery, sometimes you need to know what you’re looking for. Take Michel Lalande. He ...
