Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, the low-gravity environment of space presents unusual challenges for scientists and engineers. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering ...

Since the gravity on the surface of the moon is only about one-sixth of the earth, it is difficult for people to walk like the earth. NASA in the 1960s aimed at sending mankind to the moon, in order ...

We're very lucky that the Earth just so happens to have exactly one g worth of gravity. If it had more, we'd be exhausted all of the time, and if it had less, we'd have to get used to an entirely ...

NASA astronaut candidates have to meet a long list of criteria before the space agency decides they're fit to carry out important duties in space. When astronauts return to the Moon in the near future ...

Wired Science is combing NASA's enormous image archive to bring you some of its most inspiring, awesome and weird photos. This 1965 shot of the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator is one of our ...

In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency, a test subject is suited up for studies on the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator on Dec. 11, 1963. The simulator is located in the hangar at ...
