Gravitation (Japanese: グラビテーション, Hepburn: Gurabitēshon) is a yaoi manga series written and illustrated by Maki Murakami. The story follows the attempts...

In physics, a gravitational field or gravitational acceleration field is a vector field used to explain the influences that a body extends into the space...

The term gravitational shielding refers to a hypothetical process of shielding an object from the influence of a gravitational field. Such processes,...

gravitational mass determines the strength of the gravitational field generated by an object. Passive gravitational mass measures the gravitational force...

lower the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the slower time passes, speeding up as the gravitational potential...

A gravitational lens is matter, such as a cluster of galaxies or a point particle, that bends light from a distant source as it travels toward an observer...
