Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million years ago. This corresponds to large-scale changes in the continent’s ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, ...

For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...

Antarctica sits above the strongest negative gravity anomaly on Earth, a region where the planet’s gravitational pull dips so ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

We treat gravity as a firm law, but the ground beneath Antarctica tells a ...

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new ...

"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate." ...

In other instances, cyclists may find themselves pedaling hard to progress down an obvious slope, as if gravity is pushing them in the opposite direction. The rest of this article is behind a paywall.

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...
