Perhaps the main difference if the earth were a cube would be that students would become much more frustrated trying to calculate the gravitational field. For a uniform cube with side length L and ...

A NASA-funded cube satellite built and operated by CU Boulder researchers will study the inner radiation belt of Earth's magnetosphere, providing new insight into the energetic particles that can ...

Swedish researchers have presented evidence in Science to support their new theory about the structure of the earth's core. The findings may be of significance for our understanding of the cooling ...

If the earth was a perfect cube, what would the gravitational effect be at the edges? Could you casually step over the 90-degree bend onto an adjacent face? —Victor Allen The Straight Dope research ...

Researchers all over the world have a wealth of satellite data at their fingertips to understand global change, but turning a multitude of different data into actual information can pose a challenge.

What happens when you take the flat earth hypothesis and raise it to the third power? For starters, you gain a whole new appreciation for the predominantly up/down gravity of our good-ol’ fashioned ...
