Gravity - Softcover

Why do things fall? We say that gravity causes them to fall, but what is gravity? What is actually happening to a falling body because of gravity that causes it to move? To date, no one knows. These questions frustrated Isaac Newton and their answers even eluded Albert Einstein. No one has been able to identify the mechanisms of gravity and explain how they work. Gravity looks at the fundamental force and offers an unexpected model for how it works. The mechanisms proposed are common, very believable actions; but the medium and process that produce the mechanisms are anything but common. Gravity then shows how the medium and the process that produces gravity can also produce the electric force, another phenomenon whose workings are unknown. Gravity invites us to look at the world we think we know so well from a surprisingly different perspective. One where entities thought to create certain phenomena, are actually created by the phenomena. It is a thought provoking journey into the realm of a force that we all take for granted, but still do not completely understand.
