How does gravity function as the fundamental architect of the universe, and what are the implications of Einstein's general relativity for our modern understanding of space-time? A. Zee, a theoretical physicist, utilizes his extensive academic background to synthesize complex gravitational concepts into a coherent narrative. He examines the historical progression of gravitational theory, contrasting Newtonian mechanics with the geometric framework established by Einstein. The text argues that gravity is not merely a force, but a curvature of space-time that dictates the motion of all matter.
