An accessible study on gravity's role in everyday life and influence on other areas of science illuminates Einstein's explanation of how gravity works, discussing its four components, current studies in anti-gravity and more.
Forget fiction: time travel is real. In How to Build a Time Machine, Brian Clegg provides an understanding of what time is and how it can be manipulated.
Physicists will tell you that four forces control the universe. Of these, gravity may the most obvious, but it is also the most mysterious. Newton managed to predict the force of gravity but couldn't explain how it worked at a distance.
