A study of 300,000 galaxies confirms that gravity follows Newton's law and deepens the mystery of dark matter.

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 ...

The graviton – a hypothetical particle that carries the force of gravity – has eluded detection for over a century. But now physicists have designed an experimental setup that could in theory detect ...

(via PBS Space Time) 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 ...

Physicists at Kyushu University in Japan have outlined a technique that could bring one of the most elusive goals in modern ...

(via PBS Space Time) To progress to the next level in understanding reality, we need to combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. And to do that, most physicists believe we need a ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: 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 ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

In the late 1990s, astronomers discovered that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. While the fact that the universe is expanding was revealed in 1929 by American astronomer Edwin Hubble ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Since the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have been trying to understand the many strange implications of the theory: superpositions, wave-particle duality, and the ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...
