A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes ...
A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this will happen. A physics professor explains why this is ...
A region beneath Antarctica where Earth’s gravitational pull is measurably weaker than anywhere else on the planet has persisted for roughly 70 million years, according to new research that traces the ...
In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its ...
The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...
Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...
The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...
A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years.
Gravitational waves may leave a permanent timing gap in light, revealing how gravity preserves information through a memory ...
What Earth do you live on? A round one? Flat one? Maybe your world is resting on the back of a huge cosmic turtle? What about a hollow Earth? Just a planet’s shell levitating around absolutely nothing ...
Something wasn’t making sense—and then scientists realized they were looking in the wrong place.
