Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the ...

Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing group of physicists is treating it as a possible glitch report from the fabric ...

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 ...

Gravity’s always been my favorite force. I’ve been cheering from the front lines as it’s consistently exceeded expectations, mapping massive globs of invisible matter, bending light to magnify infant ...
