After 40 years of planning and hundreds of millions of dollars, NASA announced last week the first results from the Gravity Probe B experiment, which was designed to measure how Earth warps the fabric of space-time. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Gravity Pods is a vector-based physics shooter / puzzle. The objective is simple: shoot a projectile at a target. Of course, there are some barriers, and naturally there is a way around those barriers. By strategically placing Gravity Pods around the screen, you can bend the path your projectile takes, so that it goes around walls, down halls, curves back on itself etc. picked by KingKoopa 1 year ago

A U.S.-led international team of scientists has reported preliminary evidence consistent with Einstein's disavowed theory of a force that opposes gravity. In 1917, Einstein proposed a cosmological constant -- a force opposing gravity -- to explain why the universe does not collapse under the force of gravity. At the time, Einstein and other scientists believed the universe was static. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

Scientists have known that the Hudson Bay region features lower gravity than surrounding areas.

For all those times when your work required that serious contemplation in what is described as, as "close to zero gravity" you can get. Just make sure your pet dosn't get his tail caught underneath. picked by teaya21 2 years ago

An unusual electrical disturbance has been spotted in space, travelling unchanged through the ionised gas surrounding Earth. A European space mission called Cluster detected a "soliton" wave, a phenomenon similar to the self-contained solitons that can travel along optical fibres and channels of water on Earth. This is the first known soliton in space. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

With some parts of Europe currently in the middle of a heat wave, it seems it's not only people who suffer from the soaring temperatures. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Two decades of scrutinizing Saturn are finally paying off, as scientists have discovered a wave pattern, or oscillation, in Saturn's atmosphere only visible from Earth every 15 years. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

This is a trippy perceptual phenomenon which will mess with your head a little bit. Sine wave speech is artificially degraded speech that sounds like just beeps and whistles until you have been primed to hear it as speech. Try it, you will be amazed! picked by mahler87 7 months ago

Hundreds of millions — or even billions — of years after planets would have initially formed around two unusual stars, a second wave of planetesimal and planet formation appears to be taking place. "This is a new class of stars, ones that display conditions now ripe for formation of a second generation of planets, long, long after the stars themselves formed." picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Zero gravity flight with a cat on board.

Poor little sod! I wish this little cat had flushed out it's kidneys all over the crew while it's spinning around like that. "Tests are conclusive Sir! Cats really hate being in zero gravity." Idiots! picked by ogri2003 1 year ago

British scientists have managed to make water trickle up a steep slope. The secret of their success lies in nothing more than shaking the surface the droplets were lying on - in this case a plastic plate. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago
