A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum ...

The main idea is to have a gravity gauge theory with a symmetry that is similar to the Standard Model symmetries, instead of ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics.

What’s new — As it turns out, all they needed to do was build, what the researchers are calling, the tiniest ever laboratory-created gravitational field. By measuring the forces between two ...

The best way to describe it right now is through general relativity, and the disconnect between classical gravity and all of our known quantum fields is the reason people continue to feverishly ...

An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why ...

It's time to get to know how the moon's gravitational field works and answer some other interesting questions about Earth's nearby satellite. Yes, there is gravity on the moon. The moon has a ...

For his Ph.D. research, Sjors Heefer has explored gravity in our universe, with his research having implications for the exciting field of gravitational waves, and perhaps influencing how the big ...

As the story goes, mathematician Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in an orchard after supper when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He wondered why apples always fall straight to the ground, instead ...

The pink zone is therefore the zone of divergence. (Courtesy: M Bevis) If the Earth was a perfect sphere or ellipsoid, modelling its gravitational field would be easy. But it isn’t, so geoscientists ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. All matter has a gravitational field that attracts other objects. The more mass an object has, the greater its ...
