Astronomers had decent guesses about how these peanut-shaped asteroids formed but couldn’t get the physics to work—until now.
Now, coverage of the Winter Olympics in Italy has revealed that the Chinese freestyle skier Eileen Gu had studied physics at ...
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 ...
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 ...
Clarify one of physics’ most fundamental concepts with “g”: Gravity vs. Gravitational Field explained! 🌍 In this video, we break down the difference between gravitational acceleration and the ...
Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...
The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.
A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years.
Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...
A viral claim about Earth losing gravity for seven seconds in 2026 has been debunked by scientists. Learn why this sensational story is a hoax.
Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...
