Unpopular opinion: #Gravity is the best #HardScienceFiction film ever made.

2026-02-06

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard #cosmology—has loomed over #physics for decades.

Rather than postulating new particles, a new study proposes that perhaps #gravity itself behaves differently on the largest scales.

Gravity might evolve when viewed through the lens of #quantum field #theory.

Instead of assuming Newton's gravitational constant is absolutely fixed at #cosmic distances, perhaps it changes with scale.

In quantum field theories, coupling constants typically depend on the energy or length scale—this is the idea of renormalization group running. While this running is well-studied at microscopic scales (high energy), it should be asked whether a similar concept might apply in reverse at immense distances.

Remarkably, such a correction leads to a long-range force, which naturally generates flat rotation curves in #galaxies, the very effect traditionally attributed to dark matter halos.

But this is only one result and many similar corrections have been proposed to explain away the dark matter of galaxies.

The key test of this new theoretical frameworkremains to be done: it must fit everything we know about gravity and predict something new that can be observationally verified.

@MissGayle The gravity even survives the planet being smashed into tiny pieces. It would need to totally vanish.

It's bad enough we have to put up with their 3rd grade understanding of genetics and of climate - but really?

No, class, gravity cannot "turn off," unless the planet gets obliterated and breaks into tiny pieces, in which case you have way bigger things to worry about, like...breathing.

Idiots are convinced that Earth's gravity will turn off for seven seconds in August

Will Earth lose gravity for 7 seconds on Aug. 12, 2026? The truth about alleged NASA doc

Social media users shared a cosmic claim about an alleged secret NASA document named "Project Anchor" leaking online in 2024.

This link originally went to Snopes, but since they block people with ad blockers, I have found a different source. Fuck snopes.

"Black holes are the ultimate cosmic vacuum cleaners.

They suck in stars, planets, and even light due to an incredibly strong gravitational pull. Once something enters a black hole, it's trapped forever.

'Black holes are cosmic monsters that warps space and time,' says Neil deGrasse Tyson.

What would you do if you found yourself orbiting a black hole?

"Did you know over 100 million stars are trapped by a supermassive black hole?

A black hole is a point in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. It's created when a massive star collapses in on itself.

As light and matter get sucked in, the gravity gets stronger, warping space and time around it.

What would you do if you stumbled upon a black hole?

3/n…in the video excerpt they discuss various instances in which accepted ways of thinking about #Spacetime, #Gravity and #VacuumEnergy run into schmutz, or break down. #UAP observables point us in certain directions. There is a hand pointing. It’s not ours.
That may seem like an unlikely place to reframe how we ask certain questions wrt things like #QuantumGravity. It may not seem immediately useful to suggest someone way smarter than us has solved some of these problems. Just inevitable

Graviquake (Geology terminology ⛰️)

A graviquake is an earthquake occurring in an extensional tectonic setting, where the gravitational energy stored during the interseismic period is delivered by the collapse of a brittle upper crustal volume, slipping along a normal fault and generating the double couple recorded in the moment tensor solution. == References...
