There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

The use of artificial gravity has been a thing of science fiction from the time humans began conceiving of space travel itself. The modern incarnation may be achieved (in film or print) through the ...

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 ...
