Scientists have disproved the theory that plants require gravity to stimulate root growth by bringing seeds aboard the International Space Station and conducting experiments with Arabidopsis thaliana flowers.

Today, Sir Isaac Newton is famous for his scientific achievements. He redeveloped physics for the Western world during the 17th century. His discovery of the gravitational laws dominated physics before Einstein’s special and general relativity theory.

Austin - We are familiar with the phenomenon of tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on bodies of water on the Earth. Scientists say that on some alien planets tidal forces may be strong enough to strip the planet entirely of water.

French photographer Denis Darzacq creates amazing images of people flying through air as if there was no gravity on our planet. His work, real photographs without PhotoShop trickery, can be seen in New York, yet only for two more weeks.

A study in the journal Science has found that the melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would change the focus of the planet's gravitational field and sea levels would rise disproportionately around North America and the Indian Ocean.

A new star isn’t doing what it’s supposed to be doing. The normal dusty debris around it is in a highly elliptical, lopsided, orbit. OK, a young star’s gotta have some fun, but this one’s writing its own rules.
