Summary
Unveiling Gravity: A Very Short Introduction
Gravity is one of the four fundamental interactions in nature. It holds the unique position of being the oldest, weakest, and most challenging force to quantize. A grasp of gravity is crucial, not only for understanding the motion of objects on Earth but also the movement of celestial bodies and the expansion of the Universe itself. The study of gravity was the catalyst for Einstein’s groundbreaking discoveries about space and time.
