In elegant and accessible prose, Rovelli takes listeners on a wondrous journey from Aristotle to Albert Einstein, from Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, and from classical physics to his own work in quantum gravity. As he shows how the idea of reality has evolved over time, Rovelli offers listeners a deeper understanding of the theories he introduced so concisely in Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. His evocative explanations invite listeners to imagine,...

In "Quantum Vacuum Entanglement: A New Theory of Gravity," readers embark on a groundbreaking journey beyond the frontiers of contemporary physics, exploring a revolutionary hypothesis that reimagines the fundamental nature of gravity.

For centuries, gravity has been understood as the invisible force that binds the cosmos, from the fall of an apple to the orbit of distant planets. Traditional theories, from Newton's laws to Einstein's General

"The New Theory of Gravity and Antigravity" is a researched scientific study explaining the concept of gravity and why it exists. Author R.E. Klapka hypothesizes that reversing gravity will cause antigravity, or weightlessness. The book delves into the heart of the atom to find out why mass has a charge and how that charge causes polarization because of Earth's great charge. Our solar system is polarized with negatively charged planets and a positively...

An entertaining and personal introduction to Einstein's universe. Starting with a walk through Bern in 1905 and ending with the recent discovery of gravitational waves from colliding black holes, this book exposes the theory of Relativity in a readable style. Supported by insightful and zany illustrations, this is a great science story for everyone and anyone. As a young boy, Jack is sent to deliver a set of pictures to a house on Princeton's Mercer...

A history of gravity, and a study of its importance and relevance to our lives, as well as its influence on other areas of science.
Physicists will tell you that four forces control the universe. Of these, gravity may the most obvious, but it is also the most mysterious. Newton managed to predict the force of gravity but couldn't explain how it worked at a distance. Einstein picked up on the simple premise that gravity and acceleration are

Will help you appreciate and understand the significance of Isaac Newton's masterpiece-what many regard as the greatest scientific contribution of all time. Despite its dazzling reputation, Isaac Newton's “Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica”, or simply “The Principia”, remains a mystery for many people. Few of even the most intellectually curious readers, including professional scientists and mathematicians, have actually looked...

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 keeps us from floating away? Earth's gravity! This invisible force keeps our feet on the ground and the moon in our sky. This title introduces young students to the awesome power of gravity, on our planet and in the black holes in galaxies far away.

In Newton's view, all objects exert a force that attracts other objects. That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it's still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But Newton's view of gravity didn't work for some things, like Mercury's peculiar orbit around the sun. The orbits of planets shift over time, and Mercury's orbit shifted faster...
