Credit: PixabayWhat does gravity look like without mass? Newton's groundbreaking laws universally define gravity's effects, while Einstein's concept of warped spacetime describes it in terms of curvature. Traditionally, scientists have associated gravity solely with matterA recent study proposes an unconventional idea: gravity could potentially exist without mass, offering an alternative to the concept of...
Can gravity exist without mass? A new study proposes a way it might, with drastic effects on dark matter modelsNASA/JPL-CaltechIt appears that something is missing from the universe, which physicists refer to as “dark matter.” Yet, even after a century of searching, it hasn't been found. A new paper suggests an alternative hypothesis, demonstrating...
