The Secrets of Gravity

Synopsis:

Gravity is the overarching miracle connecting everything, everywhere, forever in the Universe. It has been tested with impeccable agreement in the most challenging environments from the edges of black holes to the weakest strain of gravitational waves. Yet, at the core of all its successes, its most profound feature yet is that it predicts its own fall. Join groundbreaking physicist, Claudia de Rham, as she uncovers the downfall of gravity, pushing the limits of knowledge and argues how navigating through the foundations of gravity may underpin the origin and fate of the Universe while naturally explaining its accelerated expansion without postulating the need for a new kind of ad hoc and unknown dark energy.
