This work recaps man's age-old quest to understand gravity, from Aristotle's ideas about objects falling to their 'natural place' through Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. It explores some of the problems facing our current understanding of how gravity works, including the strange behaviour of pendulums during eclipses.
