Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind. Now a series of discoveries and bold claims are turning that certainty into ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at once, described by a mathematical object called a wavefunction. Yet daily life ...

For the second time in as many months, images gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are raising questions about the structures of time and gravity, and the fabric of space. Using two HST images ...

What if gravity isn’t weirdly quantum at all, but rather … just a bit messy? The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the long-sought theory of quantum gravity. But what if this theory is as ...

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

The holy grail of theoretical physics is to come up with a quantum theory of gravity. But after a century of trying we really have no idea how close we are, or it it's even possible. But we shouldn't ...
