Gravity is dramatically weaker than the universe’s other fundamental forces, and physicists still do not fully understand why ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential "cosmic glitch" in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a ...

Theoretical physicists have long been trying to devise a complete theory of gravity that would also account for quantum mechanics phenomena, as existing models do not. Such a theory could collectively ...

A unique geographical feature exists near Kenya’s capital of Nairobi where the laws of gravity don’t seem to apply. Things go up when they should go down. The world is full of unique and wonderful ...

Gravity has passed nearly every test physicists have thrown at it for a century. Yet on the largest scales in the universe, a small mismatch may be pointing toward a limit in Einstein’s theory. A team ...
