As we venture farther from Earth, we uncover powerful tools to fight disease, extend life and enhance human well-being. Central to these breakthroughs is the power of microgravity.
If the U.S. could tap into just 2 percent of the geothermal power beneath Earth’s crust, it could supply more than 2,000 times our total annual energy consumption.
"Gravity is really tough, and that's what we feel when we get back," said astronaut Butch Wilmore, who will return to Earth with Sunita Williams, likely on March 19.
An artist's impression of Earth's gravity well. The idea that gravity is the result of the curvature of space-time is a core principle of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Now, though, a new theory could finally give us the means to “see” gravity for the first time. The latest theory is based heavily on an old concept first explained by Albert Einstein back in 1905.
