Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Learn how to calculate gravitational forces on a spacecraft from Earth and the Moon! Step-by-step physics tutorial covering force equations, vectors, and practical examples for orbital mechanics.

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

In 2010, renowned string theory expert Erik Verlinde from the University of Amsterdam and the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics proposed that gravity is not a fundamental force of nature, but ...

Oct. 3 (UPI) --The 2017 Nobel Prize for physics was awarded Tuesday to three Americans for their contributions to the study of gravitational waves. Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish, and Kip S. Thorne ...

Scientists review research on gravitational wave detectors as a historical example of quantum technologies and examine the fundamental research on the connection between quantum physics and gravity.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Earlier today, the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was announced: half to ...
