A team led by astronomer Margot Brouwer (Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands) has tested the new theory of theoretical physicist Erik Verlinde (University of Amsterdam) for the first time through the ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Scientists working in an international collaboration have tracked how the structure of the cosmos has grown over the past 11 billion years, providing the most precise ...

For decades, astronomers have treated dark matter as the invisible scaffolding of the cosmos, a mysterious substance that ...

"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate." ...

From the fall of an apple to the glow of the farthest known star, gravity quietly choreographs almost everything that happens in the cosmos. It shapes planets and people, bends light into celestial ...
