Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

Scientists propose a relatively simple yet still complicated tabletop experiment to test the quantumness of gravity, aiming to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Gravitational Collapse Gravity, the weakest force known, may be the agent for crushing matter out of existence. This could happen after a star collapses to a critical size, whereupon gravity ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory ...

In the stellar remnants of a supernova, however, there are no longer forces to oppose that gravity, so the star core begins to collapse in on itself. If its mass collapses into an infinitely small ...

This rules out suggestions that antimatter could fall up, along with the existence ... and saw the ALPHA-g experiment that was set up to test gravity’s effect on antihydrogen.

The Earth, for example, is massive enough for the force due to gravity to be noticed. Some objects fall differently depending on how gravity and air resistance interact. A feather, for example ...
