Book Description
This book invites the reader to understand our Universe, not just marvel at it. From the clock-like motions of the planets to the catastrophic collapse of a star into a black hole, gravity controls the Universe. Gravity is central to modern physics, helping to answer the deepest questions about the nature of time, the origin of the Universe and the unification of the forces of nature. Linking key experiments and observations through careful physical reasoning, the author builds the reader's insight step-by-step from simple but profound facts about gravity on Earth to the frontiers of research. Topics covered include the nature of stars and galaxies, the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, black holes, gravitational waves, inflation and the Big Bang. Suitable for general readers and for undergraduate courses, the treatment uses only high-school level mathematics, supplemented by optional computer programs, to explain the laws of physics governing gravity.

Book Description
Why the force that keeps our feet on the ground holds the key to understanding the nature of time and the origin of the universe. Gravity is the weakest force in the everyday world yet it is the strongest force in the universe. It was the first force to be recognized and described yet it is the least understood. It is a "force" that keeps your feet on the ground yet no such force actually exists. Gravity, to steal the words of Winston Churchill, is "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." And penetrating that enigma promises to answer the biggest questions in science: what is space? What is time? What is the universe? And where did it all come from? Award-winning writer Marcus Chown takes us on an unforgettable journey from the recognition of the "force" of gravity in 1666 to the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015. And, as we stand on the brink of a seismic revolution in our worldview, he brings us up to speed on the greatest challenge ever to confront physics.

Book Description
Do you feel a constant pull in your life but cannot explain what it is? It is gravity on your physical body but there is also emotional gravity pulling on your soul! Gravity is what keeps your feet on the ground. It is a natural phenomenon and is essential to life here on planet earth. Without gravity, chaos would result. Every time you jump up, you experience gravity when it pulls you back down to the ground. Imagine jumping up and then floating off uncontrollably. We do need gravity. Legend tells us that in the 1600s, an English physicist and mathematician was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell upon his head. As he sat rubbing his head, he started to wonder why the apple fell to the ground in the first place. The man was Isaac Newton and this apple story led to his Theory of Universal Gravitation. I was sitting in the bathtub crying my eyes out one dreary afternoon watching my tears drop into the water. As I pondered upon my melancholy I began to wonder why I was so sad so often. This led me to my Theory of Emotional Gravity. This theory has not been recorded in any scientific journals and up to this point of writing has not yet changed any lives. However, today might be the day that it does. I hope that my journey in exploring the effects of my emotions and learning to control them will help change your life too. What goes up must come down. This basic theory of gravity helped me understand and control the emotions that had once ruled my life so dramatically.

Book Description
What keeps objects from floating out of your hand? What if your feet drifted away from the ground? What stops everything from floating into space? Gravity. As in his previous books, Redwoods, Coral Reefs, and Island, Jason Chin has taken a complex subject and made it brilliantly accessible to young readers in this unusual, innovative, and very beautiful book. Chin's approach makes this book a must-have common core tool for teachers and librarians introducing scientific principals to young students. A Neal Porter Book
