The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," obeys gravity on vast cosmological scales. This could help to dismiss the possibility of a fifth fundamental force ...
