Description

When we see objects fall, we do not think of black holes or gravitational waves. But a simple action as falling along the Earth's gravity trickles down to the larger questions of physics today. What is gravity? How does it look between the planets and between small particles? Is there a "graviton," a quantum particle of gravity? The Theory of Gravity explores this fundamental interaction, how it was described by the ancients, the classical thinkers, the modernists, and the quantum theorists. From Galileo to Newton, from Einstein to Hawking; understanding gravity was the gateway to astrophysics and cosmology. And today, in a world where planets and particles collide, the quantum description of gravity is yet undeclared after half a century. This book, intended for physics students and science enthusiasts alike, assumes readers are familiar with the four volumes of The Theory of Physics, also from Noah M. MacKay, and multi-variable calculus.
