The following is an excerpt from The Gravity of Math: How Geometry Rules the Universe by Steve Nadis and Shing-Tung Yau. Copyright 2024. Available from Basic Books ...
The story of Isaac Newton's life. He discovered gravity, and the laws of motion that underpin much of modern physics. Yet he had dark secrets.
Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, ...

Study argues a massive spin-3/2 particle makes gravity unavoidable
A team affiliated with IPhT (CEA/CNRS) in France and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona argues that, within a standard ...
In the past quarter century, astronomical observations have led to discoveries that have literally transformed our conception of the universe. One such transformation occurred in 1998, when dark ...
The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the ...
The idea is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. Over the years, experimental results have been mixed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...
Astronomers suggest that an alternative concept of gravity, known as modified Newtonian dynamics, could explain orbital inconsistencies that have previously pointed to the existence of a ninth planet ...
A number of experiments have been proposed to generate and witness gravitational entanglement, but Aziz and Howl’s work suggests that the presence of gravitational entanglement is not a ‘smoking gun’ ...
Science journalist Nadis and Tsinghua University mathematician Yau follow up 2019’s The Shape of a Life with an esoteric exploration of geometry’s role in explaining gravity and the structure of the ...
