Your guide is Professor Schumacher, an award-winning educator, prominent theoretical physicist, and protégé of John Archibald Wheeler, the distinguished gravity theorist who first coined the term “black hole”.
Explore the intriguing features of gravity, why a hammer does not fall faster than a feather (neglecting air resistance, of course!); how astronauts float in space when they are still within reach of Earth’s gravitational pull; and how gravity shapes the four-dimensional fabric of the universe.
Become immersed in the fascinating study of gravity, experiencing the scientific breakthroughs alongside the great minds of Galileo, Newton, Cavendish, Einstein, Hubble, Hawking, and more.
Examine a recent that the expansion of our universe is accelerating due to an as-yet-unexplained cosmic antigravity known as dark energy.
Delve into the Holy Grail of contemporary the search for a theory that encompasses both gravity, which extends its reach across the cosmos, and quantum mechanics, which governs events at the smallest possible scale.
In Black Holes, Tides, and Curved Spacetime, you will travel to the very edges of modern physics to explore several revolutionary theories and discover that physics is just as exciting today as it was when Newton sat by that fateful apple tree.
