Every time a coffee mug drops, a satellite orbits or an astronaut floats, we are watching the same phenomenon play out under very different disguises. For centuries we have treated gravity as the ...

Robert Monjo, Ph.D., mathematics professor at Saint Louis University-Madrid, has introduced a theory that may transform scientists' understanding of gravity and its relationship to quantum physics.

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

How are controversial ideas handled by modern science? A common charge leveled against science (generally by those who are unhappy with its conclusions) is that the only way to get funding or continue ...

Now if the scientific community came along and said dark energy was a force, and said it has more in common with gravity that the other forces, that would sit right with me. It would be like those 2 ...
