About this ebook
""Mysteries of Gravity"" explores gravity as the fundamental force shaping the cosmos, from planetary orbits to galactic structures. It traces our understanding from Newtonian gravity to Einstein's general relativity, which redefined gravity not as a simple force, but as spacetime curvature caused by mass and energy. The book presents intriguing facts, such as how gravity influences the formation of stars and galaxies, acting as a cosmic architect. It also reveals how variations in Earth's gravitational field offer insights into the planet's interior. The book uniquely emphasizes the interconnectedness of gravity across scales, adopting a narrative approach to guide readers through key discoveries. It examines gravity's role in celestial mechanics, its subtle effects on Earth, and cutting-edge research into black holes and gravitational waves detected by observatories like LIGO and Virgo. The later chapters delve into the quest to unify general relativity with quantum mechanics, addressing one of physics' greatest challenges.
