Publisher's Synopsis
Contemplative thoughts on the nature of the universe: matter, light, time and gravity, leading to a quantum theory on gravity's physical nature. Gravity has puzzled humankind for millennia, it is the strangest of all the known forces in the universe and the most important. Gravity is the driving force behind stellar processes and evolution. It holds the universe together. Gravity remained and enigma by the ancient philosophers and Isaac Newton until finally Einstein described it perfectly through mathematics and insight. Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity described the effects of gravity on space and time, what he called space-time, but said little concerning its fundamental physical nature, even today the exact mechanism and nature of gravity remains a mystery. This book uses classical and modern quantum physics to investigate the fundamental links and causes of gravity and how it affects space and time leading to a Unifying Theory of Gravity.
