Gravity’s Century: From Einstein’s Eclipse to Images of Black Holes<\/strong>

It’s been a while since the Physics Department hosted their Friday night Observatory Lectures. So I’ve selected this astrophysics title to fill that little void in my universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gravity, the elemental principle that attracts stuff to each other, keeps the planets in our solar system merrily orbiting around the sun while firmly planting us to the Earth. It’s a reassuring sort of property – but enigmatic, too. Award-winning science writer, Ron Cowen<\/a>, explores some of the deep mysteries of gravity — and what is known about its more quirky and unusual properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the story of the scientific quest to observe the event horizon – that spot just outside a black hole where the power of gravity sucks everything into it. Cool, scary and amazing, huh? If you want to learn more about gravity, Research@UWW offers thousands of books and articles<\/a> on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
