Description
George Gamow explores the work of three scientists whose discoveries shed light on the laws of physics. Galileo examined free and restricted fall, Newton introduced a universal force, and Einstein proposed that gravity is the curvature of space-time.
The majority of this volume focuses on Newton's ideas, with a concluding chapter discussing post-Einsteinian speculations about gravity's relationship to other physical phenomena. The book features the author's own drawings, both technical and fanciful.
