The Universal Force conveys the excitement of science and nature's
mysteries. It describes gravitation as seen by examining the
achievements of those great scientists who have struggled with the
seemingly simple facts and managed to extract some truth about the
nature of gravity, its origins, and its effects. Gravity is
intimately tied up with motion, and therefore with time and space,
and is responsible for planetary systems, the evolution of stars
and the existence of black holes and the very beginning of the
Universe. It is the universal force and to look at gravity is to
look at the deepest aspects of nature.
The historical context from Aristotle's teleology through
Galileo's conflict with the Church, to Newton's law, and Einstein's
curved space, displays the evolution of the science of gravity as
one of the greatest and most fascinating human achievements.
Contrary to popular opinion, all important science can be
understood by anyone, with or without a scientific background! This
book shows that the beauty and mysteries of science can be shared
with everyone.
