<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Why the force that keeps our feet on the ground holds the key to understanding the nature of time and the origin of the universe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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.<br /> <br /> 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 is space? What is time? What is the universe? And where did it all come from?<br /> <br /> Award-winning writer Marcus Chown takes us on an unforgettable journey from the recognition of the "force" of gravity in 1666 to the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015. And, as we stand on the brink of a seismic revolution in our worldview, he brings us up to speed on the greatest challenge ever to confront physics.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A fine report on the latest piece of the puzzle that may, sooner or later, enable physicists to explain everything." --<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><p>"Chown details nature's most familiar force in this sleek, well-paced account of gravity. Meticulously organized and researched." --<em>Publishers Weekly</em></p><p>"Award-winning Chown offers nonscientists an easily digestible guidebook to everything currently known about gravity, while arguing that a better understanding of this ubiquitous force will help penetrate the deepest mysteries of our universe. In prose refreshingly free of formulas and jargon, Chown once again establishes himself as a first-rate popular-science writer." --<em>Booklist</em></p><br>
