A short-lived ripple in space-time revealed that two black holes merged into a giant black hole with the mass of 225 suns ...

Explore how gravity changes across planets, ending with a powerful look at the Sun's extreme gravitational force ...

A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

The gravitational field outside the sphere can be accurately simulated by combining a series of simple equations called a spherical harmonic expansion. But does this still hold true for the field ...

This phenomenon is known as gravitational time dilation, where the perception of time differs depending on the observer’s distance from a gravitational mass or position within a gravitational field.

They could then use the variations in time to map Earth’s gravitational field much more precisely, and consequently create a more precise geoid.

The incremental step Partanen and Tukki have taken is to have described gravity in the context of a gauge – a concept of quantum field theory in which the behavior of particles is described in a ...

The new theory also incorporates a G-field, or gravitational field. G-fields are vector fields—which means they have both magnitude and direction—that explain how space is influenced by an object.

Gravitational potential energy at or near the Earth’s surface can be calculated simply by: E g = m g Δ h Where: E g = gravitational potential energy (J) g = acceleration due to gravity or ...
