Description
This lecture series focuses on gravity. Gravity is both the most familiar and the strangest of all the forces of nature. Though it is extraordinarily weak- it takes a whole planet to exert a fairly modest pull on a falling apple- it can act over astronomical distances. This is why gravity is the dominant force shaping the cosmos on the largest scale.
