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

This is a time lapse of a gravity wave taken by the Tama, Iowa KCCI-TV webcam on 6 May 2007. Gravity waves form when buoyancy pushes air up, and gravity pulls it back down. Very cool stuff! picked by shredtone 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

French doctors have carried out the world's first operation on a human in zero gravity, using a specially adapted aircraft to simulate conditions in space.

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

Sweet. Next time I'm in the area I'm gonna weigh myself! picked by gnikgnok 1 year ago

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

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

Water runs downhill—we all know that. As a rule, it follows the path of steepest descent, seeking out the shortest and fastest route from top to bottom. So how can we make sense of meandering rivers, which wiggle-waggle down the valley, prolonging their journey to the sea and greatly lengthening their course? Why doesn't the flowing water—acting under the tug of gravity—just carv... read full post picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago

Gravity hills are strange, supposedly haunted hills that appear to be uphill but when you put your car in neutral it will roll uphill. Same thing happens on a skateboard. picked by a1a1l1o1a1a1m2 8 months ago

A French medical team hailed as a success pioneering surgery Wednesday on a man in near zero-gravity conditions on a flight looping in the air like a roller coaster to mimic weightlessness.

Next up, is to bring sharks with laser beams into the surgery room, to mimic conditions of surgery during a volcanic eruption. picked by worldtraveler666 2 years ago
