A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

In recent weeks, a rumor claiming that Earth would “lose gravity ” for 7 seconds on August 12, 2026, has whipped up an online frenzy. Social media users warned the catastrophe would kill tens of ...

Every time a coffee mug drops, a satellite orbits or an astronaut floats, we are watching the same phenomenon play out under ...

Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory of "quantum gravity" and to solving some major cosmic mysteries. Quantum ...

The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make ...

Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are holes.

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

A single star, careening around the monster black hole in the center of the Milky Way, has provided astronomers with new proof that Albert Einstein was right about gravity. As light escapes a region ...

A new test of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has proved the iconic physicist right again — this time by re-analyzing the famous first-ever picture of a black hole, which was released ...

An artist's visualization of the star S0-2 as it passes by the supermassive black hole at the galactic center. As the star gets closer to the supermassive black hole, it experiences a gravitational ...
