Is gravity just entropy rising? Long-shot idea gets another look

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all sides. The object on the left absorbs the particles coming from the left, the one on the right absorb

The saying goes that a dog is a man’s best friend, but an archaeological excavation in Norway proves that women care about their four-legged companions just as much as men do, even 1,100 years ago. Archaeologists from the Arctic University Museum of Norway have revealed a 10th-century Viking boat grave on the Norwegian island of Senja.

Grave Seasons, due out next year, is a cozy farming sim with a morbid edge: It's about all the friends (and romantic partners) you make along the bloody way to stopping a serial killer. A little bit into the short demo of Grave Seasons, I took to the fields to clean up the run-down farm I'd broken into and decided to adopt, only to find a severed hand.
