Theoretical physicists have spent decades wrestling with a disorienting possibility: that the flow of time is not woven into the basic laws of physics but instead emerges from gravity’s effect on heat ...

Some of the most extreme explosions in the universe are Type I superluminous supernovae. “They are one of the brightest ...

The Sun is not nailed to the center of the solar system. It moves, wobbles, and traces a small loop through space, tugged by ...

A UC Santa Barbara graduate student alongside a local nonprofit research group have advanced the frontiers of physics while ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla shows how astronauts stay clean aboard the International Space Station. In a video shared ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

The catalog of gravitational waves "heard" by LIGO, KAGRA and Virgo has doubled with detections of spacetime ripples.

A recent study which was published in arXiv has found a hug celestial body in space has been reversing its spin and essentially traveling backwards in time.

With the upcoming Artemis II lunar mission, we thought it would be fun to explore some of the foods astronauts have eaten ...

A dip in Earth's gravity field beneath Antarctica is helping scientists track deep-Earth changes over tens of millions of years. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Earth’s gravity variations result from differences in rock density in the mantle, far below the surface. These differences are subtle and not readily noticeable by humans. “From the gravity reduction, ...
