Or that understanding gravity is crucial for accurately predicting the trajectories of interplanetary probes? This book uniquely balances historical context with modern theories, starting from early philosophical ideas about falling objects and progressing to sophisticated models used in astrophysics and cosmology today. Accessible explanations and clear visualizations help demystify complex equations, allowing motivated learners to grasp essential concepts. The book progresses systematically, first establishing Newtonian gravity as a foundation before delving into General Relativity, gravitational lensing, and black holes. It concludes with discussions of ongoing research into gravitational waves and potential future discoveries, like quantum gravity. This textbook emphasizes both Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity, providing a deep yet accessible understanding of gravitational physics.
