Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing group of physicists is treating it as a possible glitch report from the fabric ...

We all know gravity as the invisible force that keeps us grounded. But what if it's not a force at all? What if it's a function? One physicist believes gravity might actually be one of the strongest ...

Physicists have been exploring the theoretical possibility of spaceships driven by compressing the four-dimensional spacetime for decades. Although this so-called 'warp drive' originates from the ...

An Associate Professor in Physics at the University of Portsmouth in the UK believes that gravity could be explained by information-reducing processes inside a computational or simulated universe. Dr ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon ...

Melvin M. Vopson is affiliated with the University of Portsmouth and the Information Physics Institute. We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Warp drives are staples of science fiction, and in principle could propel spaceships faster than the speed of light. Unfortunately, there are many problems with constructing them in practice, such as ...
