What's the Roundest Object in the Universe?

The sun is the roundest object in the universe because of gravitational influences on larger celestial bodies.

Tides Move Heaven and Earth More Than You Know

Tides are not just the ebb and flow of the ocean but a force causing water movement, linked to gravity, affecting various celestial bodies.

Ask Ethan: Is antigravity even possible?

Realistic solutions for gravity in space travel must comply with General Relativity.

Ask Ethan: Why don't we feel the Universe's expansion accelerating?

The Universe is expanding and its expansion is accelerating, but this phenomenon is not something we experience on Earth.

From the physics of g-force to weightlessness: How it feels to launch into space

Astronauts need rockets that obey Isaac Newton's laws to overcome Earth's gravity and reach space.

Physics heresy: projectiles don't actually make parabolas

Parabolas are misconceptions in projectile motion; in reality, objects trace elliptical paths under Earth's gravity.

Two places at once: superposed crystal could test whether gravity obeys quantum laws

Proposed experiment aims to explore if gravity measurements obey quantum mechanics' principles.

Unlock the Secret of a Gravity-Defying Parkour Stunt-With Physics!

Bouncing motion in parkour enhances velocity and impact forces, fundamental to executing stunts.

How Europe's creating the moon on Earth DW 10/01/2024

The LUNA Analog Facility is a significant step in simulating the lunar environment, but it lacks a crucial gravity simulator.

Alien Spaceships Could Be Detected Using Gravitational Waves

Space-time curvature leads to complex phenomena such as repulsive gravity, time dilation, and theoretically, warp drives, showcasing the depth of gravitational theory.

It's important that weight and mass are not the same

Mass and weight are fundamentally different quantities, each with distinct definitions and implications, underscoring the importance of understanding their relationship.

Black holes made from light? Impossible, say physicists

Creating a black hole with light alone is impossible.

We've Finally Seen Matter Plunge into a Black Hole

Black holes warp spacetime drastically. Approaching one, classical mechanics break down, and objects plunge uncontrollably, revealing the mystery of the plunging region.

NASA Releases Video of What It's Like to Fall Into a Black Hole

Astrophysicist simulates scenarios near a black hole, teaching about relativity's consequences and the allure of falling into supermassive black holes.

The 'Star Trek: Discovery' Series Finale Features Ridiculously Weird But Real Physics

A pair of black holes waltzing around a shared center of gravity is not just science fiction, it's a real phenomenon in the universe.
