Some clusters of galaxies may not need dark matter in order for their physics to work. In new research, a physicist describes a “shell singularity,” where gravity applies without mass. Today’s ...

An astrophysicist has shown that gravity may be able to exist without mass, a theory that suggests dark matter may not be necessary to explain phenomena observed in our universe. Dark matter is a ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible field, but from the hidden geometry of space itself. Instead of treating extra ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...
