Upcoming experimental tests of gravity’s quantumness aim to resolve one of the biggest questions in physics, but theorists ...

What happens when the two most successful theories in science completely disagree? You get quantum gravity—a chaotic ...

General relativity explains gravity as the distortion of space-time. Quantum mechanics explains other forces using exchanged "virtual particles." Unifying gravity with quantum mechanics is a major ...

For centuries, we’ve believed gravity holds the universe together. But what if that’s the biggest misunderstanding in science ...

Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg was rewarded as well, for his varied and continuing contributions to physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

In 2010, renowned string theory expert Erik Verlinde from the University of Amsterdam and the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics proposed that gravity is not a fundamental force of nature, but ...

So what is this site about? Gravity and Levity is the personal blog of Brian Skinner, a theoretical condensed-matter physicist who began it back in 2009, when he was a PhD student at the University of ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...
