For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

started rising. As the ground rebounded in this fashion, the gravity field changed. “The Earth behaved much like putting your finger into a sponge ball and watching it slowly bounce back,” said ...

How does the ice on the polar caps change? And which are the geological characteristics of the Earth's crust beneath? Geophysicists will be able to answer these questions in the future using gravity ...

New models suggest Uranus and Neptune may hold far more rock than expected, raising questions about how these distant planets formed.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. For gravitation, the big lesson from Einstein is the equivalence ...
