About this listen

As one of the four forces we currently recognize in the Standard Model, gravity - although relatively weak - is trump card. It is the key to everything. Yet, despite all of this, our knowledge of gravity is incomplete. For example, where does this force come from? How does gravity propagate between objects? Do gravitons really exist? If so, why haven't we identified these hypothetical particles yet? How does gravity relate to space and time? Is gravity stronger in other (hidden) dimensions?

This essay takes a look at what is known about gravity and contains references to other work on this topic.

Physics read by a Southern Belle ?

What would have made Gravity better?

Having a decent narrater

What was most disappointing about Alan Hall, PhD’s story?

Short, bad audio quality, and a baffling narrater.

What didn’t you like about Irene Dipty’s performance?

That she was chosen.

Any additional comments?

I thought this was going to be a book about the laws of gravity - in fact, it may have been. But I just couldn't get beyond the first 10 minutes of awful narration. Why chose a flouncy southern belle to narrate this book. I was like listening to a lecture spoken in drawl.
