Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind.
Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.
Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at once, described by a mathematical object called a wavefunction.
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 ...
An aging saguaro at Saguaro National Park east of Tucson has tilted, tilted and tilted some more — almost to the point of defying gravity. “Wow, this is the leaning tower of saguaro!” said Don Swann, ...
After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...
Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...
