The latest test conduct by Russia aimed at destroying satellites marked an important point in the series of tests. This is the first time that such test was a complete success, resulting in destruction of one of the Russia’s own satellites. Concurrently, Russians also deployed technology that does not result in destruction of intended target. […]

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.
ISRO scientists discover star-planet bigger than Jupiter
Mount Abu, in India, is the site where a new exoplanet has been sighted. HD 82139 is the name of the exciting new discovery. More than 700 light years distant from our Earth, HD 82139 is huge. It’s mass is equal to 1.5 times the size of our own yellow dwarf star/sun. Data shows that […]
Entangled in Space: The Promising Intersection of Quantum Computing and Astrophysics
Introduction Overview of Quantum Computing and Astrophysics Quantum computing and astrophysics are two of the most groundbreaking fields in modern science. Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot. This involves phenomena such as superposition, where quantum bits (qubits) can exist in multiple states simultaneously, […]
The New Crisis Jour: Space War and Space Terrorism
It almost seems that terrorism and counter-terrorism measures trade blows continuously. As we consider the arena where this happens, we inevitable have to start thinking about this battle happening in space. After all, the idea that terrorists can attack us from the space is not that far-fetched, considering the technological advances and the increasing complexity […]
Exploring Alien Planets: New Cereal Box-Sized Spacecraft Has Mighty Goals
Looking for life on other planets and far away stars is an ambitious project, but it starts with smaller goals of exploring closer celestial bodies. With technological and scientific advancements, these more achievable tasks can be undertaken by organizations that are not necessarily as big as NASA. Many academic institutions entered this arena and […]
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 […]
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 […]
