(meteorobs) Gravity
Philipp: Your problem is something I would really like to talk on
myself, but I am a physicist and a type that is very interested in
gravity. I don't know what kind of material you have so far, but I
would think that a review of the history of gravity mentioning
Aristotal, Galleleo, Newton and Einstein who each changed our idea of
gravity would fill a lot of time. Electromagnetic, the strong and weak
forces shape the atom and matter, and even stars, but it is purely
gravity that shapes the universe. This in spite of the fact that it is
the weakest force. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity could be
properly called the General Theory of Gravity. The "relativity" part of
the name is really a hangover from his Special Theory of Relativity
which really did concern itself with relative motion. Also though it
has nothing to do with gravity; when I studied the Special Theory of
Relativity over 50 years ago it was under the name of
"Electrodynamics". I did a search on "gravity" but I didn't see any
thing off hand that turned me on, but you might give that a try. I
assume you have access to a search routine under "hotmail". If you have
any specific questions I would be pleased to answer promptly. Robert
