The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

We tend to think of gravity as being about as constant as it gets. It is the invisible anchor that keeps our feet on the ...

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

A viral claim about Earth losing gravity for seven seconds in 2026 has been debunked by scientists. Learn why this ...

Gravity is the unseen force that shapes the universe, yet we rarely give it much thought. First explained by Sir Isaac Newton, it is the pull that draws objects toward one another based on their mass ...

Ever wondered why geckos can scamper up walls and humans cannot? The secret lies in physics, biology and evolution. Discover how animals exploit molecular forces to defy gravity and why humans are ...

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

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other ...
