Antarctica sits above the strongest negative gravity anomaly on Earth, a region where the planet’s gravitational pull dips so ...

When it comes to the strangest buildings in Montana, there are perhaps none more bizarre than the Montana Vortex and House of ...

In other instances, cyclists may find themselves pedaling hard to progress down an obvious slope, as if gravity is pushing them in the opposite direction. The rest of this article is behind a paywall.
