After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

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 ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

Learn how Antarctica’s gravity hole formed inside Earth and grew stronger as its ice sheets took hold.

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

A viral claim about Earth losing gravity for seven seconds in 2026 has been debunked by scientists. Learn why this ...

For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...

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 ...

A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years. Scientists say it may even have influenced ancient sea levels and ice sheet growth.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Accounts on social media platforms X [archive] and Threads posted claims that the Earth will lose gravity for seven seconds later this year, on August 12, 2026. The owner of the X ...
