The biggest breakthrough in modern theoretical physics is the discovery that gravity can collapse the dimensions of space. Physicists don’t yet understand the implications.
The rules governing gravity and other laws of nature seem like eternal truths, but cosmologist João Magueijo has always questioned their origins. Now, he has a bold new proposal
If you’ve watched a Saturn V launch, you’ve probably seen how a large rocket will often jettison a stage on the way up. There are several reasons for this — there is no reason to …
“Rise,” the Artemis II zero gravity indicator, is seen sitting on the dais as the Artemis II astronauts speak with congressional staff, Tuesday, May 12, 2026, in Washington.
1,600 respondents answered 10 questions about central issues in physics, from the Big Bang to black holes, cosmic inflation, and quantum gravity. The results are…interesting.
There’s a specific sequence in the anime Dragonball Z that for some reason has stuck in my head for over two decades. Goku, the main character of the show, travels to King Kai’s planet and can barely stand up when he arrives because the planet’s gravity…
WHERE IN THE UNIVERSE IS JACK SARFATTI “Gentlemen and ladies, … may the wind be at our backs. Stations please!” I’m still having fun with Dr. Jack Sarfatti. I’m a science fiction writer …
A good chunk of cosmology is riding on whether dark matter exists or not. But what makes us so certain that dark matter is the answer—and what if we're wrong?
Rockets can take humans far into space, but their curved trajectory might seem counterintuitive. However, physics can explain why it's actually beneficial.
Expose an animal to extreme physical stress, and the expectation is simple: It will break down. But when UC Riverside scientists subjected fruit flies to forces many times stronger than Earth's gravity—a condition called hypergravity—the insects did…
I made my own charcoal as a fun project out of alder. However I have a concern that it's too brittle compared to lump charcoal you get from the store. I probably won't use it but I'm curious if anyone has. At least not in the gravity grill.…
Good afternoon, I have been running a Gravity Series 560 for 5ish years, and I have very few complaints about it. Looking to the future I am interested in fabricating an offset smoker. Some background, I have smoked most things under the sun.…
