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

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 ...

Gravity is the unseen force that shapes the universe, yet we rarely give it much thought. First explained by Sir Isaac Newton, it is the pull that draws objects toward one another based on their mass ...

We tend to think of gravity as being about as constant as it gets. It is the invisible anchor that keeps our feet on the ground and the oceans in their beds. But if you look closely enough — and deep ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million years ago. This corresponds to large-scale changes in the continent’s ...

There are some things in life that just sort of happen. Desks get covered in dust and scraps of paper. Clothes get dirty and the laundry basket fills up. Weeds slowly creep across an untended ...

(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 ...

The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...
