Anyone who’s delved into lighting knows that it’s a complex blend of art, craft and science. Within that pillar of science is the formula, which helps us predict how lights spread over distance—The ...

Scientists have used a pulsed slow neutron beamline to probe the deviation of the inverse square law of gravity below the wavelength of 0.1 nm. The experiment achieved the highest sensitivity for a ...

Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces, but it’s the only force that operates over very long distances. Hence, planets orbit stars, stars form galaxies, and galaxies cluster. Gravity also ...

IN a paper entitled "The Story of Newton's Inverse Square Law and his Use of a False Radius of the Earth" (J. Brit. Astro. Assoc., 50, 2; 1939), John Miller states that the story of Newton's alleged ...
