Though scientists generally assume that gravitation is as unchanging as any of nature’s absolute laws, Physics Professor Robert H. Dicke of Princeton has a different theory. A firm believer in ...

The problems of gravity and acceleration would not go away. After thinking about the problems for 10 years, he published the general theory of relativity. In it, he suggested that gravity is not a ...

A new theory links gravity to quantum entropy and introduces the G-field, possibly explaining dark matter and cosmic ...

Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair ...

Sheldon Glashow has strong opinions about string theory. Like how it has failed in its primary goal of incorporating gravity into the standard model of elementary particles. How its inability to ...

general relativity is one of two pillars of modern physics – our working theory of gravity and of the very large, of planets, galaxies and the universe as a whole. It is an extension of Einstein ...
