Force Of Gravity, The (1960)

The film explores the concept of gravitation, tracing its historical understanding from ancient civilizations to modern physics. It discusses how early thinkers like the Egyptians and Greeks perceived the cosmos, leading to the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and refined by Kepler. Galileo’s experiments laid the groundwork for understanding motion, which Sir Isaac Newton later unified into a comprehensive theory of gravitation. The film also explains how gravity affects objects on Earth, the measurement of gravitational forces, and the implications of these forces in understanding the universe. It concludes with a discussion of modern physics, including Einstein’s theories and ongoing questions about the nature of gravity.
