This episode looks at one of the most mysterious forces in the universe, gravitation. Host Martin Wasserman interviews two Stanford scientists who are attempting to prove Einstein's theory that gravity is not a force at all, but the result of the curvature of space, which occurs in the presence of large bodies such as stars and planets. Particularly, they are looking to prove the existence of gravity waves, thought to occur when violent events such as collisions between stars send ripples through the fabric of space-time.
