Photos and videos of astronauts on the ISS show them floating around, but saying there's zero gravity isn't fully accurate.
Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which suggests that gravity is due to the curvature of space and time, is more than 100 years old. And it's holding up as researchers analyze the ...
You may have seen videos of astronauts jumping on the moon. Their movements appear bouncier and lighter than how we move on Earth, and this is thanks to gravity. Gravity is "the force by which a ...
Hula hooping is so commonplace that we may overlook some interesting questions it raises: 'What keeps a hula hoop up against gravity?' and 'Are some body types better for hula hooping than others?' A ...
Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.
Science has done a terrific job of answering some of the world’s most difficult questions, but certain mysteries still elude researchers. How does gravity work? Can your pet fish really predict an ...
A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...
Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our ...
