"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 time, 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.
