Listen "Futureproof Extra: What We Don't Know About Gravity"
Episode Synopsis
Gravity is everywhere.
We and every other thing in the cosmos experience its force at all times no matter how small, no matter how oblivious you might be to its presence - it's there.
But for something that causes the falling of a leaf in autumn as well as the collision of supermassive black holes in interstellar space - there’s a whole lot we don’t know about it too.
Claudia de Rham, Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London joined Jonathan to run through everything we don’t know about gravity.
