As Earthlings, most of us don’t spend a lot of extra time thinking about the gravity on our home planet. Instead, we go about our days only occasionally dropping things …read more Continue reading Experience Other Planets with the Gravity Simulator
If you’re looking to add a pop of glowing whimsy to your workspace, check out this vibrant jiggly desk toy by [thzinc], who couldn’t resist the allure of Adafruit’s NOODS …read more Continue reading The Jell-O Glow Tensegrity Toy You Didn’t Know You Needed
Recently China’s new CHIEF hypergravity facility came online to begin research projects after beginning construction in 2018. Standing for Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility the name covers basically what …read more Continue reading Most Extreme Hypergravity Facility Starts Up in China With 1,900 Times Earth’s Gravity
Scientists have developed the most precise and accurate atomic clock to date – if you ran it for twice the current age of the universe, it would only be off by one second. This could not only improve services like GPS, but help scientists probe how gra… Continue reading World’s most accurate atomic clock off by 1 second every 30 billion years
Something seems to be missing from the universe, and the favored model of physics calls it “dark matter” – but despite a century of searching, it remains a no-show. A new paper proposes an alternative hypothesis, showing how gravity could exist without… Continue reading Spacetime defects uncouple gravity from mass in dark matter alternative
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the designer of the world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, has joined forces with Energy Vault Holdings to investigate the possibility of creating something even taller: huge 1-km [3,280-ft]-tall skyscrapers t… Continue reading Kilometer-tall skyscrapers to double as massive batteries
While most pet owners are happy to help out their furry friends, everyone has a limit. For [Gauthier], getting up to open or close the window every three minutes so …read more Continue reading 2024 Home Sweet Home Automation: Simple Window Closer Relies On Gravity
The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum realm and a potential Theory of Everything.Continue Re… Continue reading Gravitational pull of half a sand grain measured in physics breakthrough
A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and importantly, outlines a way to test it experimentall… Continue reading Hunting spacetime fluctuations could unite Einstein and quantum physics
One of the biggest cosmological mysteries centers on a discrepancy in how fast the universe is expanding. A new study comes to an intriguing solution by applying a modified theory of gravity and an unsettling “supervoid” that our galaxy resides in.Cont… Continue reading How a “supervoid” and modified gravity could solve a cosmic conundrum
