- An experiment in orbit has confirmed, with precision a hundred times greater than previous efforts, that everything falls the same way under the influence of gravity. The finding is the most stringent test yet of the equivalence principle, a key tenet of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/einstein-general-relativity-gravity-microscope-experiment 150 comments science
