Sure enough, the equations of general relativity predict a cosmic tug-of-war between gravity and expansion.
Other branes—containing other types of universes—may co-exist in hyperspace, and neighboring branes may even share certain fundamental forces like gravity.
First, the planet needs to be large enough that the force of gravity keeps the water molecules from flying off into space.
For example, Mars is smaller than Earth, and so has less gravity, and that's one important reason that Mars has a very thin atmosphere, and no oceans at its surface.
Stars are born at the messy intersection of gas and dust, instigated by gravity's irrevocable pull.
There's simply not enough visible stuff in galaxies to provide enough gravity to hold them together.
Either there is some kind of energy pushing this acceleration, just like you provide energy to accelerate a car, or gravity does not behave exactly as we think.
A cloud of dust and gas that form the Sun and the Earth and the planets and you and me started to collapse as gravity pulled it all together.
Astronauts move around in shuttles in zero gravity when they're in outer space by pulling on handles installed on the ceiling walls and floors of the shuttle.
A hundred years ago this month, a 36-year-old Albert Einstein stood up in front of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin to present a radical new theory of space, time and gravity: the general theory of relativity.
Now, according to early versions of the Big Bang theory, the universe has been expanding ever since with gravity gradually putting the brakes on that expansion.
Instead of pulling the universe together, as we would expect gravity to do, the universe appears to be expanding apart at an ever-increasing rate.
This covers everything from laws of gravity, or not, to the rules of society and the punishments for individuals who break them.
Due to gravity, those places attracted even more gas, which further strengthened the pull of gravity, which then drew more gas in, and so on.
Eventually, large dense gas balls formed, shrinking under their own gravity and consequently heating up on the inside.
Hydrogen atoms smash together to form helium, accompanied by a great release of energy, strong enough to counteract the shrinking force of the gravity.
When the energy pushing out from the fusion reactions matches the gravity pulling all the gas inwards, an equilibrium occurs.
Small planets like ours don't have enough gravity to hold on to much hydrogen or helium gas since both of those are very light.
This energy travels up to the surface, displacing water and raising it above the normal sea level, but gravity pulls it back down, which makes the energy ripple outwards horizontally.
Just as a grandfather clock relies on the constant swinging back and forth of a pendulum under gravity, the tick tock of an atomic clock is maintained by the transition between two energy levels of an atom.
The body's unique physical structure gives us the ability to stand up straight against the pull of gravity.
And the big one we all experience all day every day: gravity.
This keeps your center of gravity directly over your base of support, which allows you to move efficiently with the least amount of fatigue and muscle strain.
They don't need to stand around all day resisting gravity like we do.
So towards the end of his classic text on gravity, LIGO co-founder Kip Thorne described the hunt for gravitational waves as follows: He said, "The technical difficulties to be surmounted in constructing such detectors are enormous.
For example, listening to gravity, just in this way, can tell us a lot about the collision of two black holes, something my colleague Scott has spent an awful lot of time thinking about.
But if the capillary action is strong enough to overcome gravity and draw the water up, it would also prevent it from falling back into the bowl.
And for anybody who wants to strap on some wings and go flying one day, Mars has a lot less gravity than on Earth, and it's the kind of place where you can jump over your car instead of walk around it.
And everybody has gravity to one another, gravity based on how much they've been emailing, who they've been emailing with.
This is a year when Einstein is basking in the glow of having discovered the special theory of relativity and decides to take on a new project, to try to understand fully the grand, pervasive force of gravity.
