Gravity, the invisible pull that keeps us grounded, is not as uniform as one might think. Contrary to popular belief, its intensity fluctuates across the Earth, influenced by our planet’s inner ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential "cosmic glitch" in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a ...

Physicists have found a new mathematical way to connect Einstein’s description of gravity with ideas from quantum physics.

Theoretical physicists have long been trying to devise a complete theory of gravity that would also account for quantum mechanics phenomena, as existing models do not. Such a theory could collectively ...

Gravity has passed nearly every test physicists have thrown at it for a century. Yet on the largest scales in the universe, a small mismatch may be pointing toward a limit in Einstein’s theory. A team ...

Spacecrafts don’t just rely on rockets—they use planets to pick up speed! Spacecrafts don’t just rely on rockets—they use planets to pick up speed! It’s called a gravity assist, and it’s one of the ...
