For nearly a century, dark matter has been one of the most enigmatic concepts in astrophysics. This hypothetical form of matter is inferred from gravitational effects that cannot be explained by general relativity alone, suggesting the existence of unseen mass in the universe. Proposed by Dutch astronomer Jan Oort in 1932 to explain the missing […]

Cosmic “Glitch” Discovered in Universal Gravity
A discovery from researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia has revealed what they describe as a “cosmic glitch” in the universe’s gravity. This unexpected phenomenon might explain some strange behaviors observed on a cosmic scale, hinting at possible flaws in Albert Einstein’s revered theory of general relativity. For over […]

Physicists announce new theory that unifies Gravity and Quantum Mechanics while preserving Einstein’s concept of Spacetime
Modern physics is based on two pillars. One is quantum theory, which governs the smallest particles in the universe. The other is Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which explains gravity through the curvature of spacetime. But these two theories contradict each other, and reconciling them has been difficult for over a century. The prevailing hypothesis […]

The foundation researching how to avoid gravity, whose essay prize was won by Stephen Hawking and five Nobel laureates in physics
A boy who witness his sister drown in a Massachusetts river and comes to the conclusion that gravity is to blame for everything: she was unable to fight gravity, which came up and grabbed her like a dragon and carried her off, he wrote. As an adult, he studies at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), […]
