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.

The movie Gravity had everyone spellbound with its gripping portrayal of spacewalks and the perils astronauts encounter ...

Modern research in gravitational physics includes studying applications of numerical relativity, black hole dynamics, sources of gravitational radiation, critical phenomena in gravitational collapse, ...

Physicists have measured the smallest gravitational field ever recorded, in an experiment that could help in the search for a unified theory of physics. Of the four fundamental forces known to ...

An artist's impression of the quantum experiment. (Courtesy: University of Southampton) The first technique capable of measuring the pull of gravity on a particle just microns in diameter could aid ...

Einstein’s general relativity is a theory of gravity. It says that spacetime can be curved, and we feel the effects of that curvature as the gravitational force.

A quantum probe for gravity: Physicists have detected a tiny phase shift in atomic wave packets due to gravity-induced relativistic time dilation – an example of the Aharonov-Bohm effect in action.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

What are gravitational waves, and where does physics go from here now that we've found them? After spending so long preparing to detect black holes, the team from LIGO ended up finding one almost ...

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

Researchers have redetermined the gravitational constant G using a new measurement technique. Although there is still a large degree of uncertainty regarding this value, the new method offers ...
