Gravity: Cracking the Cosmic Code is the follow-up to Nicholas Mee's Higgs Force. It is the story of gravity and the heroic efforts to make sense of this mysterious feature of all our lives. The book takes a historical approach beginning with early attempts to understand astronomy leading up to Newton's theory of gravity and its publication in his masterpiece the Principia, the book that launched the modern scientific age. The book describes how Newton's theory ruled for over two hundred years until it was superseded by Einstein's very different theory based on the curvature of space and time. One mind-bending result of Einstein's theory is that there are regions of space that operate like one-way trapdoors from which nothing can escape, not even light. These objects are known as black holes. The book looks at their properties and the ideas of Stephen Hawking who showed that they might not be totally black after all. The puzzle that physicists now face is how to marry gravity and quantum mechanics. Many believe that success in this endeavour will bring about the ultimate Theory of Everything. The final chapter of the book presents the dramatic recent discovery of a supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.

Review Having read Higgs Force by Nicholas Mee last year I knew I was in for a carefully crafted explanation of gravity from his new book. I found Mee's book informative and entertaining. My attention was held throughout by the interesting accounts of the lives of the physicists and by Mee's creative use of analogies to explain complex concepts. --Astronomy Now - December 2014Mee's colourful depictions of scientific minds at work and the interplay of philosophical ideas, theoretical conundrums and observational evidence encourage deep thought about how we understand the physical world. --Sky at Night magazineTo sum-up, it's a great book that details not only a fascinating cosmological concept but also its place in our own history. Written with a very engaging style it's suitable for a wide ranging audience - the only prerequisite is an interest in the subject matter! --Blogstronomy

Professor Mee's text on Gravity is an excellent expose on this universal phenomenon By dlalbe Professor Mee's text on Gravity is an excellent expose on this universal phenomenon, written in simple language that the layman can access and gain a good understanding of this universal phenomenon that keeps the universes together. This book may be of great help to the student who is about to embark on a course on astronomy.
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Cracking a few cosmic eggs here, great omlette By Bluesgirl Nicely written, and easy to understand (mostly). The chapters are short, and make it easy to find a place to put your bookmark when you need to put it down. If you've wanted a book that would explain the gravity theories of the cosmos in a "non-threatening" way, this is it. Great examples (and the use of Feynman diagrams)help anyone grasp the big picture of the universe(s) we live in and how the different forces work on and interact with each other. The relationships between (among) the great thinkers is also explored. Did you know Einstein couldn't do higher math??? Luckily, he did have a good friend who could help him with the formulas. Lots of little nuggets like this will keep you reading.The "mostly" for me was String Theory. I finally wrapped my head around the multi(multiple)universes. (I mean 25 dimensions is a bit over whelming). Finally, figured it out this way: when you put something down in the garage, on your desk, in the car...AND...you KNOW you put it there, but you turn around and it's NOWHERE to be seen, and you look everywhere...it's in one of those other dimensions. You know the drill....two days later it's back right where you put it...back from the multi-verse, none the worse for the wear. So-o-o-o-o where did it go??? You can thank String Theory, and the multiple universe for that.Lots of food for thought here...from the macro to the micro-micro-mini...almost gives you brain cramps. You'll find this book well worth the read.
