The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary. Post-quantum gravity is one of the most ...

Scientists could be wrong about dark energy. But they’re right about gravity, a new study suggests. Dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon that causes the expansion of the cosmos to accelerate, is ...

A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this will happen. A physics professor explains why this is ...

We all know gravity as the invisible force that keeps us grounded. But what if it's not a force at all? What if it's a function? One physicist believes gravity might actually be one of the strongest ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole. Since then, it has been boosting the resolution and filling in the details ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Over the past few decades, the idea that gravity is not a fundamental interaction but is instead caused by the increase of entropy has become increasingly popular in the ...

Emergent gravity is a bold idea. It claims that the force of gravity is a mere illusion, more akin to friction or heat—a property that emerges from some deeper physical interaction. This emergent ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now ...

Scientists have finally cracked the origins of a “gravity hole” beneath the continent of Antarctica - the part of Earth where gravity is weakest. While gravity is often understood as consistent around ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...
