As a diver, she experimented with her body's buoyancy in the Indian Ocean. As a pilot, she soared over Canadian waterfalls on dark mornings before beginning her daily scientific research. As an astronaut candidate, she dreamed of the experience of flying free from Earth's pull. And as a physicist, she discovered new sides to gravity's irresistible personality by exploring the limits of Einstein's general theory of relativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Beauty of Falling\u003c\/em\u003e, de Rham shares captivating stories about her quest to gain intimacy with gravity, to understand both its feeling and fundamental nature. Her life's pursuit led her from a twist of fate that snatched away her dream of becoming an astronaut to an exhilarating breakthrough at the very frontiers of gravitational physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile many of us presume to know gravity quite well, the brightest scientists in history have yet to fully answer the simple question: what exactly is gravity? De Rham reveals how great minds – from Newton and Einstein to Stephen Hawking, Andrea Ghez, and Roger Penrose – led her to the edge of knowledge about this fundamental force. She found hints of a hidden side to gravity at the particle level where Einstein's theory breaks down, leading her to develop a new theory of 'massive gravity.' De Rham shares how her life's path turned from a precipitous fall to an exquisite flight toward the discovery of something entirely new about our surprising, gravity-driven universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341223018732,"sku":"9780691237480","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2361943482434.jpg?v=1772186715"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/claudia-de-rham.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
