And what works is just Newton’s law of gravity, not the full apparatus of Einstein’s theory, where gravity is equivalent to the curvature of space-time. For Carney, the models are just a proof of ...

Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein's theories on gravity explained, from mass and distance to spacetime deformation and energy.

Isaac Newton‘s monumental book, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, was published July 5, 1687. Newton had ...

The skepticism and debate around the question of "are we alone in the universe" makes the field of astrobiology more cautious ...

With the release of its first images this month, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has begun a 10-year mission to help unravel ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become ...

A new study examining some of Leonardo da Vinci's sketches in the Codex Arundel reveals the artist calculated the earth's gravitational constant at a 97% accuracy rate.

“As Newton sat, observing the Apple ‘fall’ to the ground, and was creating the laws of gravity in his mind, the Earth spoke to the Apple… ‘Oh, be careful! you’re falling towards me ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...
