This larger gravitational force between two bodies relies on something called the gravitational constant that is used to calculate the relative gravitational force between two objects.

Currently, the force of gravity can’t be explained in terms of quantum physics, but being able to measure its effects on smaller and smaller scales could unlock its secrets and perhaps reveal ...

Quantum particles can feel the influence of gravitational fields they never touch Scientists reveal that the Aharonov-Bohm effect also applies to gravity ...

Just as ocean waves shape our shores, ripples in space-time may have once set the Universe on an evolutionary path that led ...

This force is higher on more massive planets and he would weigh more on Jupiter than on Earth. Jon uses a fairground ride to simulate the feeling of lower and higher gravitational forces.

NPR From the physics of g-force to weightlessness: How it feels to launch into space We kickoff our series Space Camp with a look at space launches. What does hurtling into space feel like? What ...
