Defines gravity, one of the four forces that control the universe and the most mysterious, and discusses Newton's theory about the force of gravity which still didn't explain how gravity works at a distance. Einstein understood that gravity and acceleration are interchangeable and thus devised his theory of general relativity which explains how gravity works. Includes chapter notes and an index.
An introduction to gravity that defines what it is, discusses the study of it, describes what the effects of more or less gravity on Earth would be, and includes a related activity.
