A new study reports conclusive evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity in the low acceleration limit from a verifiable analysis of the orbital motions of long-period, widely separated, binary ...

The supertankers TI Europe and TI Oceania are two of the largest free-moving objects made by man, how does gravitation affect them? Each ship has a total mass of \(5\times {10^8}kg\) and they could ...

The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make up nearly 70% of the cosmos, has been the leading explanation. But a new ...

Ever since Newton published his universal law of gravitation in 1687, anyone with a slide rule and a half decent education could calculate the force of gravity on a falling body or a planet in orbit.

A new look at da Vinci's papers reveals his insightful attempts to probe the nature of gravity 500 years ago. Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of gravity - ...

Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci’s understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time. In an article published in the journal Leonardo, ...
