Social feeds are filling with breathless claims that on 8/12/26, Earth will briefly “turn off” gravity for seven seconds, ...

The Earth will not lose gravity on Aug. 12, 2026.” That plain-language sentence from a NASA spokesperson is the fastest way ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Flashes like Cherenkov radiation in space may reveal negative-energy ghosts, hinting at gaps in gravity theories.

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

A longstanding goal in physics has been to link general relativity with quantum theory and so unify the forces of nature. Theories of quantum gravity, however, are plagued by the weak theoretical ...
