Gravity: A Very Short Introduction

Gravity is the most immediately familiar of the four fundamental forces of nature, and its effects dominate many of the phenomena commonly observed. Timothy Clifton looks at the development of our understanding of gravity, from Newton's apple to gravitational waves and efforts such as string theory to combine gravity with quantum mechanics.

Gravitatia este cea mai familiara dintre cele patru forte fundamentale ale naturii, iar efectele sale domina multe dintre fenomenele observate in mod obisnuit. Timothy Clifton analizeaza dezvoltarea intelegerii noastre despre gravitatie, de la marul lui Newton la undele gravitationale si eforturi precum teoria sirurilor pentru a combina gravitatia cu mecanica cuantica.
