In this Python astrophysics tutorial, I walk you through calculating the gravitational field produced by a ring of mass. Using numerical methods and Python libraries, we explore how to compute ...

Physicist claims to have the formula for creating and controlling gravitational waves iStock A maths researcher claims to have produced the formula to not only create gravitational fields, but also ...

You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

Besides quantum mechanics, another interesting topic in physics is relativity. Let’s take a look at it! Of all the force fields, the gravitational field is the one man has known for the longest time.
