Recent observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes have confirmed a theory proposed by physicist Stephen ...

Learn about two black hole mergers in 2024 that experts revisited with new information from gravitational waves, confirming ...

A Harvard University professor has said that 3I/ATLAS experienced a sudden "nongravitational" acceleration while passing ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. More than 100 years after Albert Einstein first outlined his ideas ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

What if dark matter didn’t exist? Sure, scientists have never observed it, but they believe it exists because of apparent gravitational effects. But what if our current understanding of gravity was ...
