Gravity may not be a fundamental force of nature, but a byproduct of the universe streamlining information like a cosmic computer. Reading time 3 minutes We have long taken it for granted that gravity ...

As Earthlings, most of us don’t spend a lot of extra time thinking about the gravity on our home planet. Instead, we go about our days only occasionally dropping things or tripping over furniture but ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon ...

Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, supersymmetry—emerge as logical necessities whenever a massive spin-3/2 particle exists ...

Rather than viewing gravity as the source of pathologies, the researchers treat it as the medicine. Their positivity-bound analysis argues that, within the assumptions of their EFT and bounds, the way ...

There’s a new generation of experiments that may unlock the gravity particle. Physicists have long believed that detecting the particle of gravity—the graviton—was fundamentally impossible, with the ...

A substance called antimatter is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. We know that every particle has an antimatter companion that is virtually identical to itself, but with ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...

HOUSTON—Blue Origin’s 29th New Shepard suborbital launch on Feb. 4 successfully provided 30 technology payloads with brief exposure to simulated lunar gravity conditions, a first for the company’s ...
