This book describes the growth of our understanding of gravity and the science on which it is based, from the early Greeks to Einstein's grand insights of curved space-time. Showing that science searches for the ultimate roots of natural phenomena and therefore pursues a kind of mysticism, the mysteries it unfolds are strange and enthralling.
