The Role Of Gravity
Gravity, the force that attracts objects with mass toward one another, plays a fundamental role in shaping the universe. Tyson explains how gravity governs the motion of planets, the formation of stars and galaxies, and the dynamics of cosmic structures. He also touches on Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as the curvature of space-time caused by mass. Understanding gravity is essential for comprehending the large-scale structure and behavior of the universe.
