According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square ...

It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Physicist claims to have the formula for creating and controlling gravitational waves iStock A maths researcher claims to have produced the formula to not only create gravitational fields, but also ...

Despite decades of searching, the "dark matter" thought to hold galaxies together is still nowhere to be found. Matthew Chalmers describes how some physicists think it makes more sense to change our ...

Now for the first time, this controversial theory has been tested experimentally and has held its ground. An independent study of the distribution of gravity around more than 30,000 galaxies found ...
