Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Social feeds are filling with breathless claims that on 8/12/26, Earth will briefly “turn off” gravity for seven seconds, thanks to a secret NASA experiment tied to a solar eclipse. The story is ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Colleen Cain got to do what few teachers in the country can do – test classroom experiments in zero gravity. Cain teaches seventh-grade science at Larson Middle School in Troy and earlier this month ...
