"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 to devise his mind-bending general relativity, showing how matter warps space and time. Not only did this explain how gravity...

On 14 September 2015, after 50 years of searching, gravitational waves were detected for the first time and astronomy changed forever.
Until then, investigation of the universe had depended on electromagnetic radiation: visible light, radio, X-rays and the rest. But gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of space and time—are unrelenting, passing through barriers that stop light dead.
At the two 4-kilometre long LIGO observatories in the US,...

"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...
