Magnets at 60 Tesla field strength will enable testing of gravitational field propulsion. The so-called “hyperdrive” concept won the 2005 American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics award for the ...

PBS Space Time is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and ...

The gravitational constant describes the intrinsic strength of gravity, and can be used to calculate the gravitational pull between two objects. The gravitational pull between two objects can be ...

There are quite a few fundamental constants. These are things like the speed of light (c) the charge on an electron (e), and the Planck constant (h). These constants are determined with some type of ...

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...

If we wish to colonize another world, finding a planet with a gravitational field that humans can survive and thrive under will be crucial. If its gravity is too strong our blood will be pulled down ...

Fine balance The researchers measured the gravitational field between two gold masses of 1mm radius each that are brought close to each other. (Courtesy: Tobias Westphal, University of Vienna) ...

PREVIOUS investigations have shown that, although sufficiently high gravity as simulated by continuous centrifugation can retard growth of certain organisms, a moderate increase in the gravitational ...

A new study shows that slow, deep rock currents inside the Earth have helped shape the planet's strongest large-scale gravitational anomaly under the Antarctic continent. Why is gravity weaker ...

New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe. New ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Back in February of 2016, LIGO made an announcement that changed our ...
