Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Einstein explained that gravity affects each passing second. Clocks slow down where gravity grows stronger. Clocks speed up ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...

Physicists hope that understanding the churning region near singularities might help them reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

Black holes are mysterious cosmic objects with gravity which are so strong that even light cannot escape. They form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity creating a dense point called a ...

Fans are eager to understand the meaning behind the “holding space for Defying Gravity” meme that’s spreading across the internet. Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, hit theaters ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

One way to longer life may be higher gravity—at least for rats. That is the “very tentative suggestion” of experiments performed by NASA Physiologist Jiro Oyama, who has been raising mice and rats ...
