A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

This article is more than 8 years old. Verlinde's model uses this connection between thermodynamics (heat, energy and forces) and information through a mathematical method known as the holographic ...

For decades cosmologists have wondered about the nature of dark energy, the proposed antigravitational force behind the accelerating expansion of the universe. Since the 1990s astronomers have ...

GRAVITY is the universal force that pulls all objects towards each other, and keeps us standing on the ground. Today, we take gravity for granted – but who first discovered this invisible force?

A group of scientists has created a computer simulation of the universe in order to test out an alternative theory to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Their study found that galaxies ...

Artificial gravity is the creation of an inertial force in a spacecraft, in order to emulate the force of gravity. This concept is often seen in but is not limited to science-fiction shows like "Star ...
