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 ...
Is General Relativity the correct theory of gravitation? Can gravity be used to detect new fundamental fields? A recent Letter appearing today in Nature Astronomy, authored by a researcher of the GSSI ...
Your location in this Universe isn't just described by spatial coordinates (where), but also by a time coordinate (when). It is impossible to move from one spatial location to another without also ...
If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...
Space travel has always hit a wall with slow speeds and massive fuel needs. Gravitic propulsion systems offer a game-changing ...
The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports the observations of two record-breaking events in gravitational wave ...
