Gravity is one of the most fundamental forces in the universe. It is responsible for keeping us on the ground, for the motion of the planets around the Sun, and for the formation of stars and galaxies. In this Very Short , physicist Jim Baggott explores the history, science, and applications of gravity.
Baggott begins by tracing the history of our understanding of gravity from Aristotle to Newton to Einstein. He then explains the basic principles of gravity, including the law of universal gravitation and the theory of general relativity. He also explores the applications of gravity in astrophysics, cosmology, and everyday life.
Gravity is a fascinating and complex subject, but Baggott's clear and engaging writing makes it accessible to everyone. This Very Short is an essential guide to one of the most fundamental forces in the universe.
