From Brent Hayward--author of Filaria, The Fecund's Melancholy Daughter, and Head Full of Mountains--comes his debut short story collection, featuring ten stories spanning his career, plus a brand new novella, "Broken Sun, Broken Moon." . . . The storm has passed but gravity is weak again. The scribe isn't feeling well. Houses in palmetto break apart and float away. Mechanisms behind the sun and the moon are breaking down. And now government men sail...
4) The gravity
Description
Chaos ensues when an unprecedented alignment of planets, impacting the Earth's gravity, upsets the balance of a futuristic ghetto run by a ruthless gang and the destiny of two brothers eager for their freedom in an unceasing fight between the old and new generations.
6) Gravity
Author
Series
Description
Takes a look at the force that holds the universe together, mass distance--the two factors that affect gravity--and orbital velocity.
Description
From visionary director Yasuhiro Yoshiura (Time of Eve) comes PATEMA INVERTED, a perspective-twisting sci-fi adventure about two kids separated by opposite gravities. Patema lives in an underground world of tunnels, the long-abandoned ruins of a giant industrial complex. Though she is a princess, she is held back by the rules imposed by the elders of her clan. One day when she is exploring in a forbidden zone, she is startled by a strange bat-like...
10) What is Real?
Author
Description
What exactly is physical reality? In elegant and accessible prose, theoretical physicist Balungi Francis leads us on a wondrous journey from space time singularities to Quantum Black Holes without information loss, from the Bekenstein-Hawking Area entropy law to his famous Volume entropy law of Black holes, from Modified Newtonian Dynamics, Dark Matter to Planck mass particles, from White Dwarfs to Black Holes and from General Relativity to his own...

On 14 September 2015, after 50 years of searching, gravitational waves were detected for the first time and astronomy changed forever.
Until then, investigation of the universe had depended on electromagnetic radiation: visible light, radio, X-rays and the rest. But gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of space and time—are unrelenting, passing through barriers that stop light dead.
At the two 4-kilometre long LIGO observatories in the US,...

In "Quantum Vacuum Entanglement: A New Theory of Gravity," readers embark on a groundbreaking journey beyond the frontiers of contemporary physics, exploring a revolutionary hypothesis that reimagines the fundamental nature of gravity.For centuries, gravity has been understood as the invisible force that binds the cosmos, from the fall of an apple to the orbit of distant planets. Traditional theories, from Newton's laws to Einstein's General Relativity,...
13) A Gentle Wizard
Author
Description
An entertaining and personal introduction to Einstein's universe. Starting with a walk through Bern in 1905 and ending with the recent discovery of gravitational waves from colliding black holes, this book exposes the theory of Relativity in a readable style. Supported by insightful and zany illustrations, this is a great science story for everyone and anyone.
As a young boy, Jack is sent to deliver a set of pictures to a house on Princeton's Mercer...

Description
"The New Theory of Gravity and Antigravity" is a researched scientific study explaining the concept of gravity and why it exists.
Author R.E. Klapka hypothesizes that reversing gravity will cause antigravity, or weightlessness. The book delves into the heart of the atom to find out why mass has a charge and how that charge causes polarization because of Earth's great charge.
Our solar system is polarized with negatively charged planets and a positively...

Description
Will help you appreciate and understand the significance of Isaac Newton's masterpiece-what many regard as the greatest scientific contribution of all time.
Despite its dazzling reputation, Isaac Newton's “Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica”, or simply “The Principia”, remains a mystery for many people. Few of even the most intellectually curious readers, including professional scientists and mathematicians, have actually looked...
Author
Description
A history of gravity, and a study of its importance and relevance to our lives, as well as its influence on other areas of science.
Physicists will tell you that four forces control the universe. Of these, gravity may the most obvious, but it is also the most mysterious. Newton managed to predict the force of gravity but couldn't explain how it worked at a distance. Einstein picked up on the simple premise that gravity and acceleration are interchangeable...
