You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

In this video, we dive into whether work done by gravitational force is path-dependent. We’ll explore how gravitational force ...

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 ...

It is one of the most fundamental and mysterious forces in the Universe. But this is the first glimpse of what the gravity field which surrounds the Earth looks like in a unique map created be a ...

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 ...

Paul M. Sutter is a theoretical cosmologist, NASA advisor, host of the "Ask a Spaceman" podcast, and a U.S. Cultural Ambassador. He is the author of "Your Place in the Universe" and "How to Die in ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with ...

Magnets at 60 Tesla field strength will enable testing of gravitational field propulsion. The so-called “hyperdrive” concept won the 2005 American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics award for the ...
