Computer Space lacked a critical ingredient that the other games possessed: gravity.

Yes, "the laws of physics break down" at singularities. But something really weird must have happened for black holes to not possess them.
That scary swirling void from which nothing can escape is our perfect universal translation tool.
No matter how beautiful, elegant, or compelling your idea is, if it disagrees with observation and experiment, it's wrong.
Dark matter hasn't been directly detected, but some form of invisible matter is clearly gravitating. Could the graviton hold the answer?
While humanity has been skywatching since ancient times, much of our cosmic understanding has come about only recently. Very recently.
A more distant galaxy liked the lens so much that it went and put a ring on it. Here's the science behind this remarkable cosmic object.
How scientists are hearing the gravitational background "hum" of the Universe for the very first time.
While Saturn and its moons all appear faint and cloudy to JWST, Saturn's rings are the star of the show. Here's the big scientific reason.
Between the least massive star and most massive planet lies the mysterious brown dwarf: a class of objects that are neither star nor planet.
The problem of the electroweak horizon haunts the standard model of cosmology and beckons us to ask how deep a rethink the model may need.
Unless you confront your theory with what's actually out there in the Universe, you're playing in the sandbox, not engaging in science.
Dark matter has never been directly detected, but the astronomical evidence for its existence is overwhelming. Here's what to know.
Not even Einstein immediately knew the power of the equations he gave us.
Quantum mechanics has taught us that even empty space contains energy. "Negative energy" is the state of having less energy than empty space.
From physics and alchemy to theology and eschatology, Isaac Newton’s research was rooted in a personal pursuit of the Divine.
The concept of the warp drive is currently at odds with everything we know to be true about physics.
In Einstein's relativity and the Standard Model, we only have three spatial dimensions. But there could be more, and many think there are.
The visible Universe extends 46.1 billion light-years from us, while we've probed scales down to as small as ~10^-19 meters.
Was it the enormous magnitude of the quake, or is the problem with the buildings?
Some of them have survived the wilds of space for billions of years.
The idea of gravitational redshift crossed Einstein's mind years before General Relativity was complete. Here's why it had to be there.
The science fiction dream of a traversable wormhole is no closer to reality, despite a quantum computer's suggestive simulation.
There are 40 billion billion black holes in the universe. Here’s how our Solar System stacks up against ten of them.
An exclusive interview with physicist Lee Smolin reveals how abandoning Einstein's dream may have been a terrible mistake.
Einstein hated "spooky action at a distance," but much to his chagrin, quantum mechanics remains as spooky as ever.
NASA will use energy from Earth's gravity to launch the Lucy spacecraft in October of this year.
Einstein's theory of general relativity introduced the concept of space having a shape. So, what is the shape of space?
In all of science, no figures have changed the world more than Einstein and Newton. Will anyone ever be as revolutionary again?
