Gravitational force    The force of which we are constantly aware in our daily lives is that which pulls us towards the earth. This is called gravitational force. Sir Isaac Newton came to the conclusion that gravitational force exists between all bodies. Thus, two stones are not only attracted towards the earth but also attract each other. Normally, we do not notice this force owing to its smallness, although it can be measured with sensetive instruments. Nevertheless, two 50000 t ships...Read Full Story

"This most beautiful system [The Universe] could only proceed from the dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being."  Sir Isaac Newton What is Gravity?

Everything with mass, from a dust mote to a star, exerts a gravitational pull."  I say, we are made of mass too, and exert similar universal gravitation. Referred to as "G," gravity is...Read Full Story
