"The New Theory of Gravity and Antigravity" is a researched scientific study explaining the concept of gravity and why it exists.
Author R.E. Klapka hypothesizes that reversing gravity will cause antigravity, or weightlessness. The book delves into the heart of the atom to find out why mass has a charge and how that charge causes polarization because of Earth's great charge.
Our solar system is polarized with negatively charged planets and a positively...

Will help you appreciate and understand the significance of Isaac Newton's masterpiece-what many regard as the greatest scientific contribution of all time.
Despite its dazzling reputation, Isaac Newton's “Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica”, or simply “The Principia”, remains a mystery for many people. Few of even the most intellectually curious readers, including professional scientists and mathematicians, have actually looked...

A history of gravity, and a study of its importance and relevance to our lives, as well as its influence on other areas of science.
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. Einstein picked up on the simple premise that gravity and acceleration are interchangeable...

Gravity is the weakest force in the everyday world yet it is the strongest force in the universe. It was the first force to be recognized and described yet it is the least understood. It is a "force" that keeps your feet on the ground yet no such force actually exists.
Gravity, to steal the words of Winston Churchill, is "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." And penetrating that enigma promises to answer the biggest questions in science:...

Ancient humans must have found eclipses unnerving and unpredictable. Periodically, they are not easy to understand because of their complex nature. It is both dramatic and transient when a solar eclipse takes place. Due to diffraction on the moon's surface and its jaggedness, a solar eclipse appears to remove the sun from the sky as the sun disappears. However this simple explanation has fascinated humans for thousands of years. Shrouded in mystery...

In Newton's view, all objects exert a force that attracts other objects. That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it's still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But Newton's view of gravity didn't work for some things, like Mercury's peculiar orbit around the sun. The orbits of planets shift over time, and Mercury's orbit shifted faster...
