Gravity is the universe’s most important fundamental force. It dominates every moment of our existence on this planet, and yet we really don’t appreciate gravity as much as we should. Gravity is the ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...

We all know gravity as the invisible force that keeps us grounded. But what if it's not a force at all? What if it's a function? One physicist believes gravity might actually be one of the strongest ...

According to the patent, habitable modules would rotate around a central axis to simulate gravity for crew by producing an outward-pushing centrifugal force. When you purchase through links on our ...

Although the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 gets a lot of press, the detection of GW170817—the first binary neutron star collision—confirms how important gravitational waves likely are ...

As my arms lift from my sides, and the rest of my body follows suit toward the ceiling of a modified Boeing 727—next to scientists, astronauts, engineers and activists—I think, “How did I get here?” I ...
