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 ...

Explore the physics of gravitational force acting on the Apollo 13 spacecraft during its historic mission. This video delves ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

Physicists have determined that most of the universe is dark matter -- invisible to us but affecting the universe anyway.

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

Dark matter, the invisible glue that outweighs normal matter in the cosmos, is starting to look less like a passive backdrop ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

Now if the scientific community came along and said dark energy was a force, and said it has more in common with gravity that the other forces, that would sit right with me. It would be like those 2 ...
