The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

We treat gravity as a firm law, but the ground beneath Antarctica tells a ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million years ago. This corresponds to large-scale changes in the continent’s ...

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.

Zero gravity, often depicted in science fiction and space documentaries, is a fascinating concept that sparks curiosity and wonder. Commonly misunderstood, zero gravity is not the absence of gravity ...

Emergent gravity is a bold idea. It claims that the force of gravity is a mere illusion, more akin to friction or heat—a property that emerges from some deeper physical interaction. This emergent ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary. Post-quantum gravity is one of the most ...
