Gravity Facts explores the pervasive force shaping our universe, from the fall of an apple to the orbits of celestial bodies.
It delves into both Newtonian physics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity, explaining concepts like spacetime and gravitational waves.
Uncover how gravity influences space travel, including orbital mechanics and the challenges of artificial gravity.
Did you know that gravitational slingshots use a planet’s gravity to accelerate spacecraft, or that gravity affects even seemingly mundane things like tides and weather patterns?
This book uniquely connects physics, astronomy, and engineering, showcasing gravity’s role in everything from galaxy formation to satellite design.
It emphasizes gravity’s dynamic and interconnected nature, demonstrating its profound influence on the past, present, and future of the cosmos.
Supported by data from NASA, ESA, and other leading institutions, the book progresses from foundational concepts to complex applications.
Starting with the history of gravitational theory, the book moves to the applications of gravity in space exploration, and concludes by exploring its terrestrial impacts on geological processes and biological systems.
Whether you’re a student, educator, or simply curious about the universe, Gravity Facts offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of this essential force.
