Gravity

Více o knize

Focusing on the concept of gravity, this book explores the contributions of three pivotal scientists: Galileo, who studied free and restricted fall; Newton, who introduced the idea of a universal force; and Einstein, who redefined gravity as the curvature of space-time. George Gamow provides an enlightening perspective on their groundbreaking work and its implications for understanding both terrestrial and celestial motion, as well as the universe's expansion. The book is complemented by Gamow's own whimsical illustrations, enhancing the reader's experience.
