It does, and it continues to exist well below the Atomic Levels.
The affected path(s) of Bosons proves that gravity is in play down at that level, as well.
It would also follow different rules which we are unable to observe because its force is so weak.
Therefore we don't really know what happens in a black hole's singularity, or what the very early universe looked like.
Being 10³8 times weaker than the next weakest force (electromagnetic) it's as good as non-existent, though.
For us, the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. But at the poles, there are no directions. From the North Pole, whichever way we look it is South, and from the South Pole, whichever way we look, it is North.
There is no Sunrise or Sunset at the polar regions as we experience at lower latitudes. The Sun appears above the horizon in Summer and makes a 360° circle in the sky - over a period of 187 days at the North Pole 90° North latitude.
And in winter, the Sun is below the horizon for 163 days of darkness and 24 days of semi-darkness when the Sun is just below the horizon. It's not exactly six months of darkness/sunlight at the poles.
(In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August, and no sunrise between November 14 and January 29.) Needless to mention, when it is summer in the Northern hemisphere, it is winter in the South.
A solstice happens when the sun's zenith is at its furthest point from the equator. The December Solstice or Winter Solstice occurring on or about 21st December when the Sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, when the North Pole is tilted furthest to 23.5 degrees away from the Sun.
The idealised faces (according to those living in the UK). For the male face of beauty, women drew a more feminine face than men - women rate a softer jaw-line, slimmer face, fuller lips and clean-shaven look as the most attractive, compared to the more masculine appearance that is considered the most attractive by men. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/11502572/Are-these-the-most-beautiful-faces-in-the-world.html
The Sun is directly overhead of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere during the December Solstice. It is called Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the shortest day of the year.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year. Some people call today the first day of winter. Now you can see why the North pole is in darkness and the South pole in sunlight.
On the June solstice or the summer solstice, occurring on or about 21st June, the sun is visible throughout the night, in all areas from just south of the Arctic Circle to the North Pole - Land of the Midnight Sun.
...
On the other side of the planet, south of the Antarctic Circle there's Polar Night, meaning no Sunlight at all on the June Solstice.
On the equinox, the Sun is directly over the equator making the day and night approximately equal. The March equinox - 20th March - is when the Sun is apparently moving towards the summer solstice, and the September equinox - 20th September - is when the Sun is apparently moving towards the winter solstice.
From The Soul
The Earth’s axis is inclined at an angle of 23 1/2 degrees. So when there is summer in the South Pole, the earth is aligned in such a way that the lower part of the equator is facing towards the sun.
This state exists for six months as a result the south pole experiences six months of uninterrupted sunlight, while the North pole which is facing away from the sun experiences six months without sunlight.
The opposite phenomenon occurs during winter in the South Pole and likewise summer in the North Pole.
Pretty much true, but only if you are exactly on the pole. When the Sun is up at either pole, it appears to rotate around the entire sky at a constant height, during the space of 24 hours.

In actual fact, you get more than 6 months of daylight in the summer, and less than 6 months of daylight in the winter, for three reasons.
First, the Sun has a finite size, and when its center is on the horizon, or even a bit below the horizon, the upper edge (called the "upper limb" by astronomers) is still above the horizon and you have daylight.

Second, atmospheric refraction allows the Sun to be visible even if it's "mathematically" below the horizon by as much as half a degree. These effects combine to give you about 3 or 4 "extra" days of sunlight at each equinox.
Then there is the effect of twilight. The sky doesn't really get dark until the Sun is 6 degrees or more below the horizon.
Sri yantra
At the pole, twilight lasts about 2 weeks around each equinox. So the bottom line is this: at the North Pole, night lasts from October 9 to March 4, a little less than 5 months.
...
Then there's twilight from March 5 to March 17; and daylight from March 18 to September 26, a little more than six months. Then more twilight from September 27 to October 8.
At the South Pole, seasons are reversed, and winter is a bit longer because of the shape of Earth's orbit. So at the South Pole, daylight lasts from September 19 to March 24, a bit longer than 6 months.
Then you have twilight from March 25 to April 5; and night lasts from April 6 to September 7, a bit more than 5 months. Finally, you have more twilight from September 8 to September 18.
Mr Newton and Mr Ruhela have answered the question comprehensively. However (not that this is relevant to our current generations), I would like to add that the tilt of the Earth's axis has a wobble.
This wobble makes a complete circle in about 26,000 years (our civilization is only around 10,000 years old).
So, in half that time (13,000 years), our axis of rotation which is aligned with Polaris (Pole Star) will be roughly pointing towards the star Vega instead and summer and winter in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres will have reversed (that is winter in the Northern Hemisphere will be in July instead of December!).
That is because the Earth's axis is tilted away from the perpendicular to Earth's orbital plane. The axis always points (more or less) in the same direction in space. However, relative to the Sun, the tilt direction varies, as the Earth orbits the Sun.
Each pole tilts towards the Sun for half the year then away from the Sun for the other half of the year. This affects the whole planet, but the effect is most extreme at the poles. At the poles, there are about six months of daylight followed by about six months of night.
Om Mani Padme Hum
An important fact that is sometimes not clearly stated is that, at the poles, the Earth's rotation does not cause the Sun to rise or set. In fact, the Sun's apparent daily motion is (almost exactly) parallel to the horizon all the time.
However, the Sun does rise and set at the poles, at intervals of 6 months. That’s because the distance of the Sun above and below the horizon varies during the year, as the Earth orbits the Sun. Diagrams showing how the Earth’s orbit affects the amount of sunlight at the poles are given in the link below.

Due to refraction by the Earth's atmosphere, the Sun can still be seen for a few days when it's just below the horizon. Also, the Sun moves only very slowly below the horizon as winter approaches, so there is quite a long period of twilight at the poles.
...
...
It depends on which definition of "twilight" you use, but twilight is usually said to last for about 2 weeks at the poles.
...
...
The same thing happens as the Sun is ready to rise above the horizon in the springtime. So there is about a month of twilight in total. So really the poles are in proper darkness for a bit less than 5 months of the year.
In fact, the length of time when the North pole has no twilight of any kind (strictly defined) is no more than 11 weeks. That’s less than 3 months!
We should know few things about the shape of earth and its movements before understanding this phenomenon.
i. Earth is flattened at its poles and bulged in the center. Due to this shape of the earth, sun rays fall directly on the equatorial region, the areas along the equator, an imaginary circle that divides the earth into two equal parts. On the other hand, sun rays fall slant at higher latitudes.
...
...
ii. The axis of the earth, an imaginary line that passes through the poles of the earth, is tilted by 23 degrees with respect to earth’s orbit, the elliptical path in which the earth revolves around the sun.
iii. As the axis of earth is tilted, during the revolution of the earth around the sun, poles of the earth, sometimes inclines towards the sun and at other times inclines away from the sun.
...
Considering above points, as earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit and its axis is tilted, each pole of the earth inclines towards the sun for 6 months receiving sunlight continuously, that is, North Pole from June to December and South Pole from December to June.
...
However, the duration of nights and days remains almost same throughout the year in the equatorial region.
There are two reason for this , one is Angle of inclination another one is centrifugal velocity difference . Since earth is 23.4′ inclined it takes so much time to cover than in equator .
And the velocity in the equator is greater then velocity in the poles . Because according to centrifugal force, the force get multiplied with the distance between the object and center of the rotating object.
Axis of Earth’s rotation is inclined 23.5 Degrees to the plane of Earth’s orbit. This makes North pole-side of axis inclined towards sun at summer solstice(22nd July) and away from sun at winter solstice (22nd December).
...
At Spring Equinox (22nd March) and Autumn Equinox(22nd September) axis is perpendicular to direction of sun. Hence, at equinox times the sun is at horizon at Equinox times as viewed from poles, throughout day.
...
Rest of the year Sun is either above horizon(day at North pole) or below horizon (night at North Pole).
The Earth is tilted about 23.4 degrees with respect to its orbital plane. That means that our planet rotates at a different angle than our orbit to the sun.
That’s what causes our seasons. (Not our distance from the sun, which varies throughout our elliptical orbit. In fact, we’re closer to the sun during winter in the northern hemisphere than in summer.)
When the northern part of the earth is tilted toward the sun, it’s summer in places like North America and Europe and winter in places like Australia and South America.
The opposite is true the rest of the year. For most of the globe, day and night are determined by the planetary rotation. The Earth turns around its N-S axis once every ~24 Hours. That’s our day/night cycle.
At the poles, the axial tilt has more of an effect than the rotation. The angle of the axis is enough that the poles are almost constantly in or out of the sunlight, regardless of the rotation.

The ger is really special for Mongolians,” says Tagtokhbayar Tuvaan, 63, over a bowl of salty milk tea in his home on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar.
“I was born in a ger, I grew up in a ger, I got married in a ger. I have never lived in a house. I love my ger.”
Tuvaan and his wife have lived in the same ger – the circular yurts beloved of central Asian nomads – since 1978.
Until eight years ago, their home was pitched in the province of Zavkhan, west Mongolia.

Then Tuvaan retired from the fire service and the couple decided to move almost 700 miles to Ulaanbaatar, to be closer to their four children.
Now, they live in the “ger district”, the sprawling informal settlement that has mushroomed on the edge of Ulaanbaatar.
Life in the ger district is hard, but Tuvaan likes his home. “It’s a quiet place, close to nature and the mountains,” he says.
Photographs of their family in long, colourful Mongolian tunics sit on a shelf above a television.
...
Mongolia is urbanising at a rapid pace, but for many citizens the ger remains central to their identity.
The gentle hillsides around Ulaanbaatar are peppered with dome-roofed gers covered in white canvas, like rows of miniature circus big tops.
When Mongolia was a communist state, these escarpments were largely unpopulated, save the occasional herder with their flock. Now they are home to an estimated 800,000 people.
Though they lack access to drinking water, proper sewerage or internal heating, many are reluctant to leave behind their unique, millennia-old way of living.
The ger district is a product of Ulaanbaatar’s rapid expansion. Under communism, just 500,000 people lived in “UB”, as everyone calls the capital. Since the early 1990s, it has trebled in size. Cranes and construction sites now dominate the skyline.
People who have got rich – often through mining – can live in expensive new apartment complexes with names like Sky Tower and Bella Vista. They can inch along the gridlocked traffic in four-wheel drives, shop in Louis Vuitton and Swarovski or go to work in gleaming glass-fronted office towers downtown.
Despite a recent drop in foreign investment, property prices continue to rise in the city. “Traffic is horrible, so real estate prices in the central business district are enormous.
There are only a few cities that can compare – New York, Moscow and London,” says Munkhdul Badral, also known as Mogi, who runs a market intelligence firm, Cover Mongolia.
...
A few miles from Chinggis Khan Square, the vast communist-era plaza that marks the unofficial centre of the city, the situation is very different.
Buses flying Mongolian flags bump along badly rutted ger district roads. Stalls sell fruit and vegetables. A woman sits in front of a pile of matted goat and sheep skins bought from herders on their way to market.
Many of those who now live in the ger district are former herders, pulled into the city by the promise of a new life, or pushed off their land by desertification and extreme winter weather.

The first extended contact between Europeans and Australian pygmies occurred in the 1890s at Yarrabah, an Anglican church mission to Aborigines established in 1892 at Cape Grafton, just south of Cairns.
...
The three main tribes in the region were the Kongkandji (Gungganydji), Indindji and Barbaram, whose territories covered, respectively, the coastal area around Cape Grafton, the eastern slopes of the Atherton Tableland from Lake Barrine south to Gordonvale, and the Great Dividing Range behind Cairns.
...
All of them shared the same very short physical stature, as well as similar languages and culture.
...
There were three major waves of migration of quite different ancient people who came to the Australian continent from southeast Asia.
More than 40,000 years ago, when sea levels were much lower and Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania comprised one landmass, called Sahul, the first to arrive were a slightly-built people of pygmoid stature with dark skin and very frizzy hair.
They were Negritos (named after the Spanish “little negro”), and they provided the initial population for the whole of this Greater Australia.
...
About 20,000 years ago, a second type of people arrived from Asia. These newcomers, called Murrayians, were comparatively lightly skinned, wavy-haired, stocky in build, with a lot of body hair.
They drove the Negritos before them until the latter retreated to the highlands of New Guinea, the rainforests of North Queensland and to then ice-capped Tasmania.
...
The Murrayians became the dominant population on the east coast of Australia, and the open grasslands and parklands of the south and west of the continent.
Then, about 15,000 years ago, a third wave of hunter- gatherers arrived. They were comparatively tall, straight-haired and dark skinned, with very little body hair.
In the nineteenth century, most Europeans who looked at the Australian Aborigines thought they were a homogenous people, except for the Tasmanians, who were regarded by most who saw them as distinctly Melanesian in appearance.
...
Overall, it is hard not to be skeptical about the “one people” hypothesis. It is disputed by recent genetic studies, by the inadequacies of both its craniological measurements and its evolutionary theory, and by its inherent implausibility.
...
As recently as the 1950s, the anthropological community thought that Australia had only been occupied for about 8000 years, a belief that gave the hypothesis some credibility. Now, however, we have evidence of human habitation extending for more than 40,000 years.
...
For at least 30,000 of these years, recurring ice ages raised and lowered the sea levels between Australia and Asia, eliminating the Arafura Sea and Torres Strait more than once and reducing the furthest distance needed to cross deep water between Asia and either northwest Australia or western New Guinea to less than 100 kilometres.
