A vast “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica became stronger as the continent shifted into an ice-dominated world tens of ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

Learn how Antarctica’s gravity hole formed inside Earth and grew stronger as its ice sheets took hold.

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

This strange 'gravity hole' beneath Antarctica could help explain how its ice and oceans changed over millions of years.

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

A viral claim about Earth losing gravity for seven seconds in 2026 has been debunked by scientists. Learn why this sensational story is a hoax.
