For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

The movies play an incredibly important role in firing our imaginations about what's possible for humanity's future, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the realm of space travel. Over the past ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

Gravity remains the dominant force on large astronomical scales, but when it comes to stars in young star clusters the dynamics in these crowded environments cannot be simply explained by the pull of ...

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

June 29 (UPI) --The European Space Agency's Euclid mission will launch into space on a Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX on Saturday or soon after. Many of us who have worked on it will be in Florida to ...

Artificial gravity is the creation of an inertial force in a spacecraft, in order to emulate the force of gravity. This concept is often seen in but is not limited to science-fiction shows like "Star ...

Zumalacárregui, a theoretical physicist at the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics, had been studying how the discovery of a neutron-star collision would affect so-called “alternative” theories ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

Juggling is hard. Keeping those balls aloft against the relentless forces of gravity takes skill. But what if you could just make gravity work a little bit differently? With the Feel Flux, you can.
