This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

George Musser’s new book finds resonances between the science of the latest wonder materials and string theory, quantum gravity, and the origins of space and time A new short volume by veteran science ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

A team of physicists just snared $3 million for testing the law of gravity like never before. Eric Adelberger, Jens Gundlach and Blayne Heckel won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics ...

Ski jumpers use aerodynamics and physics to overcome gravity – at least for a while. Christof Stache/AFP via Getty Images If you or I jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground ...
