KORTE INHOUD
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. A fine HB of 322 pages with a fine DJ. Gravity is a force so weak that we defy it all the time, yet it is strong enough to help hold the Universe together. Once thought to be little more than the opposite to 'levity'. Gravity moved to centre stage when Isaac Newton declared that the Moon and the Earth were attracted to each other- an idea received as bizarre and dangerously occult in his day.The received wisdom about Gravity was revolutionised again by Einstein's theory of General Relativity. Since then millions have been trying to detect 'gravity waves' and develop antigravity technology, but it remains a truly mysterious force that shapes all our lives.
