We have now found the faster orbiting asteroid in our solar system. Currently it takes around 113 days for a full rotation around the sun. This small asteroid is only .6 miles in size. It gets so close to the sun that its temperatures reach 900 degrees F. Due to this it is thought that […]

Taming Gravity is all about the possibility through science and technology to harness gravity. If we accomplish this we will then have the means to travel to the stars.
Of course, to do this will involve knowledge of astrophysics.
So, here at Taming Gravity we include inspiring news and breakthroughs happening in the field of astrophysics.
The Fabric of the Cosmos: Understanding Space-Time and the Universe
Introduction to Space-Time and the Universe Defining Space-Time Space-time is a four-dimensional continuum that fuses the three dimensions of space with the one dimension of time into a single interwoven fabric. This concept, which is central to modern physics, was revolutionized by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. In this framework, space and time are […]
‘Substantial’ Number of Wandering Black Holes Could Be Roaming Galaxies
Scientists have long been aware of the existence of celestial entities of such gravitational intensity that no light can escape their perimeters. Such entities are called black holes. It’s furthermore been conjectured that it is the norm for such black holes to sit at the midpoint of every outsize galaxy. Data has revealed, however, that […]
Elevating Space Access: The Reality of Space Elevators
Introduction to Space Elevators Definition and Concept A space elevator, also known as a space bridge, star ladder, or orbital lift, is a proposed type of planet-to-space transportation system. The primary component of a space elevator is a cable, or tether, anchored to the Earth’s surface near the equator and extending into space. The […]
The Big Bang Theory: The Dawn of the Cosmos
Introduction to the Big Bang Theory Overview of the Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe. According to this theory, the Universe began as an extremely hot and dense point approximately 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. […]
Exploring Multiverse Theories: Are We Just One of Many?
Introduction to Multiverse Theories Definition and Basic Concepts The term “multiverse” refers to the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes, including the one we inhabit. These universes together comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. The different universes within the multiverse […]
Galaxy Formation and Evolution: Piecing Together the Cosmic Puzzle
Introduction to Galaxy Formation and Evolution The Importance of Understanding Galaxies Understanding galaxies is crucial for several reasons. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the universe, containing stars, planetary systems, gas, dust, and dark matter. By studying galaxies, we gain insights into the processes that govern the formation and evolution of these cosmic […]
Antimatter Propulsion: The Future of Interstellar Travel?
Introduction to Antimatter Propulsion What is Antimatter? Antimatter is a form of matter that is composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but opposite charges. For instance, the antiparticle of an electron is a positron, which carries a positive charge instead of a negative one. When antimatter comes […]
The Future of Planetary Exploration: Advancements in Robotic Rovers
Introduction Overview of Planetary Exploration Planetary exploration has always been a cornerstone of human curiosity and scientific endeavor. From the early days of gazing at the stars to the modern era of sophisticated space missions, our quest to understand the cosmos has driven technological advancements and expanded our knowledge of the universe. The exploration […]
Neutron Stars: Understanding These Dense Behemoths
Introduction to Neutron Stars What Are Neutron Stars? Neutron stars are the remnants of massive stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. These celestial objects are incredibly dense; a single teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh more than a billion metric tons. Neutron stars are primarily composed of neutrons, subatomic particles that are […]
