In recent weeks, a rumor claiming that Earth would “lose gravity ” for 7 seconds on August 12, 2026, has whipped up an online ...
A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all.
Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...
Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory of "quantum gravity" and to solving some major cosmic mysteries. Quantum ...
Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...
A single star, careening around the monster black hole in the center of the Milky Way, has provided astronomers with new proof that Albert Einstein was right about gravity. As light escapes a region ...
A new test of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has proved the iconic physicist right again — this time by re-analyzing the famous first-ever picture of a black hole, which was released ...
An artist's visualization of the star S0-2 as it passes by the supermassive black hole at the galactic center. As the star gets closer to the supermassive black hole, it experiences a gravitational ...
When they look for violations of Einstein’s general relativity, physicists deliberately plan experiments to find nothing at all. In 1887, physicists Albert Michelson and Edward Morley performed one of ...
