In the early 1990s, NASA launched thousands of baby jellyfish into space. Not just a few specimens in a lab container, but about 2,500 tiny jellyfish polyps, sealed in bags of artificial seawater and ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole new model to account for gravity’s influence.

Theoretical physicists have spent decades wrestling with a disorienting possibility: that the flow of time is not woven into the basic laws of physics but instead emerges from gravity’s effect on heat ...

They are entirely feasible and, with sufficient funding, we could build one within months or years! Due to the effect of the Coriolis force on the semicircular canals (three tubes in the inner ear), ...

Engineers at Russia’s Energia Space Rocket Corporation, part of the state-run space agency Roscosmos, have proposed a new answer. According to a patent obtained by the Russian news agency TASS, the ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...

The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...
