The story of our quest to understand gravity - the weakest force in nature, yet one that binds the cosmos together - spans more than two and a half thousand years. The book starts with Aristotle's ideas about objects falling to their "natural place, ” moves through Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, then reaches the esoteric vistas being opened up by current research and their possibilities for the future: efforts to detect gravity waves, the discovery of dark energy, and, in decades to come, how we might devise a form of antigravity, achieve "warp drive," and even create our own miniature black holes and embryonic universes.
