Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

FLAMINGO simulation maps the universe but reveals a puzzling mismatch: galaxies cluster less than theory predicts.

As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, the low-gravity environment of space presents unusual challenges for scientists and engineers. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering ...

Is our entire universe just a computer simulation? It sounds like the premise for a sci-fi movie, but over the years the idea has been debated by scientists in earnest. But now theoretical physicists ...

Cocoons of debris around dying stars could shake ripples in spacetime unlike any astronomers have ever seen. “This is a potential source of gravitational waves that has never been investigated before, ...

Wired Science is combing NASA's enormous image archive to bring you some of its most inspiring, awesome and weird photos. This 1965 shot of the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator is one of our ...
