(via Steve Mould) The cavendish experiment shows that even the very week force of gravity can be seen between two room scale objects. Even with the naked eye.

Scientists are closer to unravelling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force works in ...

Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...
