Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding ...
The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make up nearly 70% of the cosmos, has been the leading explanation. But a new ...
Although we take a lot of scientific knowledge for granted today, each of the basics – whether it be about light, gravity, mass or the shape of the Earth – had to be theorized and experimentally ...
The triangle ain't equilateral. Also, I read the jar drawing as being constant speed, not constant acceleration. Each consecutive falling object is at a constant horizontal distance. At the small ...
Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, an immensely important update to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, is currently our best approximation ...
Valerio Faraoni receives funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Andrea Giusti received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation ...
Living without gravity spells disaster for the human body. Even a few weeks in microgravity can lead to issues with circulation and vision; over the longer term, the complications compound even ...
