Synopsis

Can we harness the force of gravity as we have with magnetism and electricity?

The Pursuit of Gravity presents a new theory for the source of gravitational fields due to tiny particles..

The book sets out to use mathematics and physics at a level so that the ideas presented may be understood by as wide a range of readers as possible. Starting with basic gravitational theory, it then investigates the sources of gravitational forces and which particles could be involved. The Pursuit of Gravity enables the reader to follow the interactions of particles smaller than a billionth of a billionth of a metre and experience a proposed minimum-sized particle, the Quantum Mass, with no strings attached.

While carefully avoiding the use of the word graviton, the theory sets out the connections between the particles whose gravitational forces work together to form what we experience as gravity.

For starships to travel between galaxies they will need to generate vast amounts of power for propulsion. What better way could the starships of the future have than the force of gravity itself!? This book provides the theoretical seedcorn for a force that will one day power intergalactic travel and much more besides.

‘I set out to find the sources of gravitational fields. But in the process of finding these, the answers to many of the present-day puzzles of physics started to emerge.’
