Even though some of the physicists who attended the Gravity Day Conferences quietly mocked the anti-gravity mission of the Foundation, [46] it provided significant contributions to mainstream physics. [47] The International Journal of Modern Physics D has featured selected papers from the Gravity Research Foundation essay competition. Many have ...
The physical Gravity Research Foundation disappeared some time after Babson's death in 1967. Its only remnant in New Boston is a granite slab in a traffic island that celebrates the foundation's "active research for antigravity and a partial gravity insulator". The building that held the foundation's meetings has long held a restaurant, and for ...
Thanu Padmanabhan (10 March 1957 – 17 September 2021) was an Indian theoretical physicist and cosmologist whose research spanned a wide variety of topics in gravitation, structure formation in the universe and quantum gravity. He published nearly 300 papers and reviews in international journals and ten books in these areas.
Jacob David Bekenstein (Hebrew: יעקב בקנשטיין; May 1, 1947 – August 16, 2015) was a Mexican-born American-Israeli theoretical physicist who made fundamental contributions to the foundation of black hole thermodynamics and to other aspects of the connections between information and gravitation. [1]
Against this development, a contentious attempt was made to explain the disclosed extra energy shift as arising from a so-far unknown and allegedly missed clock synchronization effect, [90] [91] which was unusually awarded a prize in 2018 by the Gravity Research Foundation for having secured a new proof of general relativity.

Andrew J. Hanson (born 1944) is an American theoretical physicist and computer scientist. Hanson is best known in theoretical physics as the co-discoverer of the Eguchi–Hanson metric, [2] the first Gravitational instanton. This Einstein metric is asymptotically locally Euclidean and self-dual, closely parallel to the Yang-Mills instanton.
Jeremy Bernstein described it as "one of the great papers in twentieth-century physics." [14] After winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020, Roger Penrose would credit the Oppenheimer–Snyder model as one of his inspirations for research. [16] [12] The Hindu wrote in 2023: [17] The world of physics does indeed remember the paper.
Horowitz studied at Princeton University (Bachelor 1976) and obtained his Ph.D. in 1979 at the University of Chicago with Robert Geroch. Subsequently, he was a post-doc at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Oxford University (as a NATO Fellow). In 1981-1983 he worked as an Einstein Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study.
