You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

Researchers have found a significant new relationship in spiral and irregular galaxies: the acceleration observed in rotation curves tightly correlates with the gravitational acceleration expected ...

One of the most astonishing facts about science is how universally applicable the laws of nature are. Every particle obeys the same rules, experiences the same forces, and sees the same fundamental ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. What happens to light when it passes near a large mass? Does it simply ...

A new study reports conclusive evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity in the low acceleration limit from a verifiable analysis of the orbital motions of long-period, widely separated, binary ...

So it looks like we'll be talking a lot about gravitational waves over the coming days, but why can't they be called "gravity waves?" In this social media world where brevity is key, it may seem that ...
