Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, which means it’s not derived from anything else – it just is. At least, that's according to our presently accepted theories. But this may be ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

A few weeks ago we discussed a new theory of gravity that has been hotly disputed and debated since it was formulated a few years ago. Now, a new set of astronomers has produced observations that are ...

The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the ...

In 2010, renowned string theory expert Erik Verlinde from the University of Amsterdam and the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics proposed that gravity is not a fundamental force of nature, but ...

The outer regions of galaxies, like our own Milky Way, rotate much faster around the centre than can be accounted for by the quantity of ordinary matter like stars, planets and interstellar gasses.
