For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...
A frozen continent at the bottom of the world sits over the deepest dip in Earth’s gravitational pull, a feature that has persisted for roughly 70 million years. Scientists have long known about this ...
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 ...
Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...
Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...
Cooling metal bars to near absolute zero, suspending microscopic gold beads, or searching for signs that gravity might be quantum: meet the scientists hunting for gravity's elusive nature ...
It was quite a leap. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could result ...
Here’s what you will learn when you read this story: Gravitational anomalies detected by NASA and the German Aerospace Center’s GRACE satellites confused scientists for years. These anomalies are ...
