The Moon’s gravity is so strong that it can trigger earthquakes on Earth. Scientists are still amazed by its power.

Earth captured by the Appllo 11 mission from the Moon.NASA/JSC An earthquake occurred in New Jersey on Friday, days before the total solar eclipse. However, the two events have no connection, according to the United States Geological Survey. Some scientists think there is a connection between the moon’s gravity and earthquakes on Earth. Here’s what… Read More »

‘Quantum gravity’ could eventually help unify quantum mechanics with general relativity

Scientists have found a way to measure gravity at microscopic levels; perhaps bringing them closer to establishing a theory of “quantum gravity” and solving some of the great cosmic mysteries. Quantum physics offers scientists the best description of the universe on scales smaller than atoms. Albert EinsteinOn the other hand, the theory of general relativity… Read More »
