For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

If the recent discovery of gravitational waves emanating from the early universe holds up under scrutiny, it will illuminate a connection between gravity and quantum mechanics and perhaps, in the ...

Presented by: Professor Orit Peleg, Department of Physics and Computer Science, University of Colorado Boulder 2:30 p.m. Abstract: Imagine a world where communication doesn't depend on words, but on ...

Quantum scale gravity has long been a mystery to physics, but things could be starting to change. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

On Sept. 14, 2015, University of Chicago scientists were part of the international team to make the first direct detection of ripples in the fabric of space-time from the collision of two black holes ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Zone of divergence: A section through the centre of mass, O, of a planet and the single point, S, on the surface of the planet that touches its Brillouin sphere. The point O is the centre of the ...

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...
