Jennifer over at Cocktail Party Physics has a nice post about her trip to Disneyland. The one ride that would be fun to play with (in terms of physics) would be the ...

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — World-famous physicist Stephen Hawking experienced eight rounds of weightlessness on Thursday during a better-than-expected airplane flight that he saw as the first step ...

There are a handful of ways to experience weightlessness. You can jump out of a plane, go on a zero-g “vomit comet” ride — or, of course, launch into space. Now there might be a much easier ...

Here, NASA astronauts-in-training, men at absolutely peak mental and physical condition, undergo grueling tests in . . . oh, wait. Never mind. That’s the self-described overweight and out-of-shape ...

MISSOULA, Mont. – Chuck Leonard gets motion sickness just by sitting in the back seat of a moving car. So the University of Montana researcher is already resigned to the fact that his project with ...

When astronaut Scott Kelly spent nearly a year in space, his heart shrank despite the fact that he worked out six days a week over his 340-day stay, according to a new study. Surprisingly, researchers ...

"What goes up must come down". Ever since astronauts started playing games in space, for instance catching morsels of food floating in weightlessness conditions, the general public knows that the ...

Weight is one of the basic concepts of physics. Its gravitational definition accommodates difficulties for students to understand the state of weightlessness. The aim of this study is to investigate ...

The Elysium Chair is a £25,000 luxury chair designed to simulate the feeling of weightlessness. Business Insider recently gave it a spin to see if it lives up to the hype. It's exceedingly comfortable ...

You don’t have to go to space to feel the weightlessness of orbit. Sue Nelson joins a special flight that puts its passengers into zero gravity – at least for a few seconds. “Five, four, three, two, ...
