Gravity Research Foundation Monument, Scientific memorial in DeKalb County, United States.
The pink stone monument stands in a courtyard outside the Math and Science Center at Emory University, connected by a stone path from the sidewalk.
Roger Babson established the Gravity Research Foundation in 1948, publishing his essay 'Gravity - Our Enemy Number One' and distributing monuments to multiple universities.
The foundation organizes annual essay contests about gravity research, with multiple winners subsequently receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics for their scientific contributions.
Visitors can find the monument near Emory University campus, where it serves as a gathering point for students and researchers interested in gravitational physics.
The foundation initially aimed to discover methods for gravitational shielding, inspired by Babson's personal experience with his sister's drowning accident.
